Eva Mendes ditches her brunette hair for new RED look

Eva Mendes is concluding 2022 as a lady in red.

The Hitch actress, 48, presented her new hairstyle on Instagram on Tuesday, displaying a blazing red dye job — but admirers may have missed the fact that Mendes debuted the 'do before Christmas.

"Mira esto! I went red," she said in a recent Instagram post, naming hairstylist Richi Grisillo in the comment.

Mendes flaunts her new hair colour and layered cut in the close-up shot while gazing off into the distance and resting her palm on her chin.

The red hairstyle can also be seen in a video the Skura Style sponge businesswoman shared two days after the shot with her dog on December 20 in which she appeared to already have it.

Mendes talked about the significance of mental health during the holidays in a Reel she released on Christmas Eve. Fans, however, correctly focused on the bigger message, despite Mendes' colour announcement (and some fantastic hair tossing).

"For me personally, I don’t care much for acting “merry” or “happy “ -as long as I stay grateful I’ll let myself feel all the feels that come up. I won’t torture others with them but I won’t hide them either," she wrote, before adding, "Oh , I went red. Gracias to @richi_grisillo for this. Lo adoro."

Many commenters used the fire emoji to show how much they like her new look, which she seemed to be enjoying.
