Eva Mendes' asymmetrical aqua Calvin Klein dress stood out in a sea of blacks, but it wasn't my favorite dress on her. Still, it was quite fitting for the fancy gala and I love her chunky white accessories. What's your stance?

I really like this. Only she could pull off a dress like that and look comfortable.

Eh. It's okay. The color flatters her skintone, but I don't love it.

She's so beautiful though.

The cut is awful on her awesome body, and the hair just distracts. Ew.

Beautiful color but the cut makes her look twice her size. Doesn't flatter her sexy curves.

Love the color but the dress looks really thrown together and weird. The black stripe looks really out of place.

I love it, especially because that color is made for her skin color. What I don't like, though, is that the dress makes her look thicker, instead of all beautifully curvylicious like she usually looks...

I don't like it. The gown doesn't make her stylish.

Hate this, hate the colour and the dress itself looks ill-fitting and badly made, like the work of a first year fashion student.

No.

Sorry, this dress looks like those bridesmaid reject dresses they feature on tv shows where they 'revamp' it. The iridescent sheen looks way tacky and how does this dress fit her? Maybe it's the extra volume near her waist and behind that throw it off.

I love this dress and its simple swoops, very animated. I can see why she did the hair to match the dress but it's too heavy-handed, especially since the dress seems so light.
