Eva Mendes is celebrating her birthday in style.
“My new campaign and my new age just dropped!” the actress-turned-author, who turned 51 on Wednesday, captioned Instagram photos from Stella McCartney’s summer 2025 ads.
Mendes struck a pose in a sheer silk maxi dress ($3,600) with a single cape sleeve, high-slit skirt and wrapped and knotted details.
“I’m 51 today and so grateful for all the reasons,” the former actress continued in the caption. “Especially grateful to @stellamccartney for making the most beautiful, cruelty free clothing that I feel so great in.”
Though she’s partnered with “amazing designers” throughout her career, Mendes says she’s “never felt sexier” than when she’s wearing McCartney’s creations.
“I hate that I can’t be there at your fashion show today but I have the best reason in the world -I’m with my family,” she added — referring to Stella McCartney’s fall 2025 presentation, which took place in Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.
“Sending out loads of love today and every day 💕💕,” Mendes ended her caption.
“51 never looked so good 🔥🔥,” one user commented. A second said, “51….and fabulous 🤍”
This isn’t the first time the mother of two has fronted the luxury label’s buzzy shoots.
Mendes was the star of Stella McCartney’s winter 2024 campaign, “It’s About F—g Time,” modeling earth-friendly looks like a croc-embossed trench coat ($6,000) and pale pink fuzzy jacket.
“Being involved with such an environmentally conscious brand that is cruelty free in all ways has been a game changer for me on a cellular level,” Mendes wrote an Instagram at the time, reflecting on the opportunity.
Mendes has been candid about hitting the half-century mark in past interviews.
Chatting with the Times in October, the “Hitch” alum said she still feels “f—king sexy at times,” in part because of her husband, actor Ryan Gosling.
“The way my man looks at me is just … at times I’m like, ‘Oh my God,’” Mendes told the publication. “That might not sit well with people, but so much of how I feel is a reflection of what he’s giving me.”
