After all the disasters that made up the CFDA Fashion Awards, looking at Eva Mendes is super thrilling. Someone who wasn't wearing a turban, rocking hammer pants, or weirdly reminding me of Mariah Carey? I'm the happiest girl in the world!

Okay, one small gripe: the shots are weird where she's talking. That's a small price to pay for photos of this gorgeous lady. My faith is restored in NY fashion.
