Busy mom Eva Mendes brings back the '90s scrunchie as she heads to LA hotel in plaid shirt and ripped jeans

She is usually seen dressed to the nines, but busy mom Eva Mendes took a refreshingly laid-back approach to her look on Tuesday.

The 41-year-old showcased her natural beauty as she arrived at the London Hotel in West Hollywood, clad in a casual outfit – and sporting a '90s style hair scrunchie.

Eva kept comfortable in a green, navy and white plaid flannel shirt, and paired it with rolled-up jeans that had rips across the knees.

The actress pulled her dark locks into a bun and tied them with her black and white gingham scrunchie.

Eva wore a pair of huge sunglasses over her face, and carried a cherry red bag.

She added a touch of glamour with a pair of black wedged sandals and a generous slick of red lipstick.

The Place Beyond The Pines star, who looks fantastic in whatever she wears, flashed a cheerful smile as she hopped out of her car and headed inside the hotel.

Eva welcomed her first child, daughter Esmeralda, with partner Ryan Gosling in September 2014.

During an interview with the Today show last week, she said that her 34-year-old is hands-on with changing diapers – pointing out that all dads should be.

‘I mean, that’s a given these days,’ Eva explained. ‘I don’t think that that’s a plus anymore. It better not be, fathers out there!’

The interview, which was filmed in New York City, was Eva’s third time away from her daughter, who she said was back in Los Angeles with ‘papa and the family’.

The Hitch star revealed that she and Ryan - who have been dating for four years - don’t use babysitters, adding: ‘Thank god I have my entire family 10 minutes away.’

While Eva is taking a break from movies but still focusing on designing her clothing line for New York & Company, Ryan recently wrapped filming on musical La La Land, in which he stars opposite Emma Stone.

Ryan can next be seen alongside Brad Pitt and Christian Bale in The Big Short, which hits cinemas just in time for Christmas.

He also has crime thriller The Nice Guys and an untitled Terrence Malick project due out next year.
