Eva Mendes Glows In An Orange Buttoned Skirt Set As She Opens Up About Her Anxiety: ‘I Was Such An Anxious Kid’

Eva Mendes is pulling out all her colorful summer wardrobe pieces before the weather gets even cooler!

The mother of two recently took to her Instagram page on Thursday, Sept. 13th, to upload some stunning pictures in an orange pleated skirt set. Her bright outfit featured a buttoned collared top with long sleeves and a matching midi skirt.

The children’s book author paired the ensemble with white pumps and trendy gold jewelry pieces.

The wife of Ryan Gosling went for a soft makeup look consisting of pink lips and cheeks and styled her brunette hair in a deep side part.

Her dedicated fans flooded her comments section with nothing but praise for the Cuban native.

“You can pull any color off. Gorgeous in that.”

“So stunning it’s staggering!”

“That shade of orange is your color, Eva! Stunning.”

In another social media post, The Place Beyond The Pines actress was promoting her children’s book, Desi, Mami and the Never-Ending Worries. She took that opportunity to open up about her anxiety, something she says was linked to her upbringing as a child.

Mendes wrote in the caption, “I was such an anxious kid. And I LOVE being Cuban but growing up in a crazy loud house with high emotions everywhere, I can’t help but think that my very Cuban household contributed in some way. Any other Cubans out there know what I mean? Or is it just mi familia that yell whether things are good or bad?!”

Eva hopes that parents can bond with their kids through her book; as she stated in a previous interview with PEOPLE, “learning how to train our brain to work for us and not against us is easier said than done! At my home and in Desi’s, we try to deal with the never-ending worries and anxieties that we all have, so those negative thoughts don’t take over and dominate.”
