When spending the evening with designer friends, there is a little extra pressure to look fabulous. Eva Mendes had no problem looking the part when she stepped out in New York last night with designer Rachel Roy. The actress looked gorgeous in a backless blue dress as the pair left the Greenwich hotel in Tribeca.

The Hitch star teamed the high-necked dress with silver heels and stacked bangles. Designer Rachel wore a pin-stripe blazer with a ruffled white top and striped midi-skirt. The friends shared a laugh as they drove off in their chauffeured car.
Earlier in the day both ladies watched the Salvatore Ferragamo's Women's Resort 2012 Collection at James B. Duke Mansion in New York. Eva wore a tan and white dress with a deep V-neckline and swishy skirt. She sat next to fellow actresses Freida Pinto and Emma Roberts at the show, and chatted to Rachel and designer James Ferragamo.
Meanwhile it has emerged that Mendes has been spotted on a second date with SNL star Jason Sudeikis. The 37-year-old star recently joined Sudeikis, 35, for a double date with Jason Bateman and his wife at a restaurant in New York on June 24. An onlooker said to Life & Style: 'They dined together at L'Artusi in the West Village.
'When Eva wanted a cigarette, they all went outside for a smoke break and the Saturday Night Live funnyman was overheard saying: 'We're a great team!'"Barely a week before the pair were seen holding hands at the 24 Hour Plays benefit in Santa Monica. It's claimed they were spotted kissing in the car park after the show.
