Looking magnificent as always, Eva Mendes hit up Venice, Italy, on Wednesday to attend the Opening Ceremony and Baaria Red Carpet at the Sala Grande during the 66th Venice Flim Festival.

The Spirit actress is currently preparing to film the thriller Southbound with Matthew McConaughey, about a border-patrol officer who finds himself caught in the middle of a war between a Mexican crime family and the U.S. immigration police when he comes into contact with a beautiful Mexican woman.
