Eva Mendes looks like a sparkling ray of light on the July cover of Marie Claire UK.
The summery spread features the Fast Five actress in a burgundy bedazzled swimsuit catching some sun poolside, or posing like the star she is while in a car.

Eva touches on quite a few things in the accompanying article. The most interesting of all may be what she says about her current boyfriend Ryan Gosling:
“He’s your dream co-star. I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film.”
She later goes on to talk about her body insecurities and how she finds strength to fight them:
“It doesn’t matter what you have or what you look like. It’s something everyone has to work at. I realize I have contributed to a certain happy, healthy, empowered image, but that’s not all of me.
I feel it’s important to let women know that I have similar struggles. What I tell girls is what they don’t like about themselves now, they will probably end up loving as an adult, because that’s what happened to me. When I am complimented on things that I didn’t like when I was 13, like my overbite and my mole, that’s when you realize that your imperfections are why people love you.”
