Eva Mendes Wardrobe Malfunction

Eva Mendes was born in Miami, Florida but raised in Los Angeles of Cuban-American heritage. In college she began acting, studying underneath acting coach Ivana Chubbuck. This led to her desire to appear in feature films.

Though taking many smaller roles in movies, she was little known until playing the girlfriend of Denzel Washington's character in Training Day (2001). Since then she has been featured in a wider range of roles, from comedic to dramatic. These gave her the ability to work with many highly regarded directors, such as Robert Rodriguez Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003), Carl Franklin (Out of Time (2003/I), John Singleton (2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), Antoine Fuqua (Training Day (2001) and the Farrelly Bros. (Stuck on You (2003).

Eva Mendes attends the "Angel" by Thierry Mugler campaign launch at The IAC Building

Eva Mendes is the new face of Angel perfume - but there was nothing angelic about her red carpet dress.

The daring neckline on the floor-length white outfit caused a wardrobe malfunction as the actress's nipple peeped out.

The 37-year-old has replaced Naomi Watts as the face of the Thierry Mugler scent.
