Heading out her business on hump day, Eva Mendes left her hotel and went to a studio in New York City on Wednesday (October 23).

The "Place Beyond the Pines" star looked pretty in a long gray jacket, silky blouse, and black pants as she made her way inside.

Next on the big screen, the 39-year-old actress will join her real-life boyfriend Ryan Gosling in his directorial debut, "How to Catch a Monster."

In the fantasy thriller, a single mother is swept into a dark underworld, while her teenage son discovers a road that leads him to a secret underwater town.
