- I just wanna say sorry, I owe you a play date.
Let's start with that.
- [Eva] Yes, you do.
- We were texting, we have the same hair guy,
Robert Ramos.
- Robert Ramos, amazing.
- He's amazing and he was like, "You two are
so sweet you should hang out".
And he told each of us this and we were...
- [Eva] And I got really excited I was like--
- I did too.
- So anyway, I was like, "this is gonna
be great".
And I texted her I was so excited.
I'm like, "when can we do this?
I'm totally available, all I do is this,
play with my kids".
And she was like...
This was like last May and then she was like,
"well, my first day off is like Christmas".
- And I was like, I literally told Robert,
I was like, "she's gonna think I'm blowing her off".
It's Eva Mendes, I'm not blowing you off
I just, I literally have no days off.
- No
- I don't.
- You do, and congratulations on everything.
- Aww thank you.
- Really.
- But when we have a play date it's gonna
be epic.
- It's gonna be epic.
- It's gonna be epic, I'm gonna make up
for it.
We're gonna do so many amazing things.
No, but you and Ryan Gosling, you all
have two kids right?
- Yes, we have two little girls
- [Kelly] Yes, are you excited about Halloween?
- We are, but it's kinda like Halloween
in our house every day.
- Me too, my kids wear cost--
- [Eva] Right.
- [Kelly] What the hell?
- [Eva] Oh my God, that's so old.
That's literally me going, "I'm not
in love with him, I'm not in love with him.
What? I'm not in love".
Cause we were trying to be very professional.
- This is me going "I'm in love with you".
- Awwww
- [Kelly] Like what? You're so beautiful.
Look at that sexy little eye okay.
- [Eva] Look at him though.
- He's so cute, yes.
You got the notebook and you got Noah.
No, but our kids are the same.
They're literally constantly in costume.
- They're constantly dressing up
and our kids are obsessed with "Wizard of Oz"
and Dorothy so they've been Dorothy every year.
So we're like this year lets--
- That's financially awesome.
- Financially great, but we're like you know
maybe we could do like a bloody Dorothy.
I could just put some blood on you
or something.
Cause really Dorothy again?
You wanna like, you know.
- But it's kinda awesome cause what my daughter did
was tell me she wanted to be Princess in Black.
We're reading these books.
And there is no costume for that.
I had to make it happen and put it all together
with all my free time Eva.
- Right.
- And then she was like "never mind I wanna be Ana".
And I'm like uh huh huh, and then I get Ana
and she's like "I don't know, Wonder Woman".
I'm like "you're gonna wear it".
I'm like--
- Which one?
- My daughter changes her mind all the time.
Our five year old.
I would love it if she wanted
to be Dorothy every Halloween.
- Every Halloween?
- [Kelly] It's magical.
- So what's she going with?
You don't know.
- I have no idea.
She can wear a sheet for all I care
and be a ghost at this point.
I am past it.
- Are you the kind of mom, do you make
the things?
You don't make the things.
- Hell no, I get on Etsy with all those mamas
that have time to make stuff.
- I'm with you.
- You put your life, your career kind of
on hold to become a parent.
That was really important to you.
When did you realize, wait I picked the
way harder job?
- Well ya know, every day and people are
so sweet, they really like try to warn you,
prep you when you're pregnant.
But nobody can prep you, nobody.
And nobody told me it was gonna really be a job.
And a job that I needed an incredible amount
of skill for.
- And patience.
- In different areas.
A chauffeur, a cook, a personal assistant
to an abusive boss.
- Amen, they don't appreciate it.
- No they don't, they're not grateful.
- I know.
- Oh my God, do they get grateful?
Does that happen at some point?
Do they become grateful?
I didn't know I needed to--
- I agree.
- And any other profession you would need
to take a test or pass test.
The only test I had to pass was a pregnancy test.
That doesn't seem fair.
- Nailed it.
- Right.
- What do you think the hardest part is though?
Cause I have my thing, what's your thing?
The hardest part.
- Hardest part?
Hands down--
- I think we agree.
- is the amount of snacks I have
to carry with me all day long.
And the variety.
- You feel like a Sherpa, just going
up the mountain with everyone's crap.
- Totally, totally.
And you need variation, you need a variety.
- Cause they all like something different.
- They like something different and you need
to keep it fresh cause they're like "nah".
Especially on long car rides, those are the worst.
But even going to the market, we're like
going to the market but I need to take food
in the car to go to the market.
- Exactly.
We're gonna get along so well on this play date.
- This play date is gonna be--
- Oh my God it's gonna be so good.
- Disneyland and...
- No I'm telling you its upsetting
and then for me, I don't like to be surrounded
by food all the time.
I'm like I'm gonna start eating it.
And I'm starting to resent my children.
For the amount of caloric intake that's happening.
All right how would you describe you and Ryan
coming together,
my husband and I came together,
like your parenting style.
How is that at your house?
Is the same or different?
- It's the same, we're very controlling.
Very, very controlling.
We are, I think what the term is, we're
always laughing at these terms, I think we
would be a bull dozing parent.
- Oh.
- Have you heard of the bull dozers?
- No, but I might be one that's why
I don't know about it.
- I heard of the term helicopter parenting.
Have you guys heard that?
Well what else are we supposed to do?
They're like this big we have to
be on top of them every second.
- Or your house will flood or be set on fire.
- Exactly, it's literally the stakes
are really high so yeah I'm a helicopter parent.
And then I heard the bull dozing and I'm like
oh I'm probably a bull dozing parent too.
- You can click A, B, C, and D.
- Yeah all of it.
- Become all of them.
Well how has being a mom changed your sense of style?
- Oh my gosh.
Well I went through a period where there
was just no sense of style or sense
of self really.
I kind of lost myself a little bit there.
- I might be there right now but I don't know.
I have so many jobs.
- I'm just coming out of the you know...
It's funny cause I started this line
at New York & Company six years ago.
There's a lot of dresses like this, that kind of
feel like you're wearing a t-shirt, like a shirt dress.
- Yeah, I love this.
- You have a little bit of you know, you
can style it up or style it down.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- But comfort, comfort is what's changed.
Before I would suffer.
- You have to be able to wash it too.
That's the thing because you get stains.
- [Eva] Yes.
- My kid's food, they just all of a sudden, I'm like,
"cool, this wasn't expensive".
- Right, well that's the thing our fabrics
are made to be machine washable.
That's really important for me because it has to be.
I honestly don't remember the last time I
went to the dry cleaners.
That's bougie, that's like old me, dry cleaners.
- That's my 20s.
We got a few women in the audience wearing
Eva's designs.
Lets say hi to them.
Where is Monet?
I ran into you earlier.
- [Eva] Oh my God.
- [Kelly] Look at that dress.
Monet?
- Oh my God.
Hey Monet that looks so beautiful.
I would wear that.
So, Monet like what works for you with this outfit?
- It's so comfortable and it's very stretchy.
Love, I'm sorry.
We're going to his sisters 40th birthday party
next month.
The parties gonna be all about me honey.
I look good.
- [Kelly] You look so good.
- Really, such a goddess.
When I see something like this, this is our
Melinda sweater dress, and I love a sweater dress.
But what I love about the dress too is it's elegant,
it doesn't show too much up here, you have a nice
cut right here.
- [Kelly] It shows that booty.
- Never mind.
- Everything back there.
- [Kelly] Show us that bass hummer.
- Its so beautiful and you really, I mean my gosh--
- Thank you Eva, thank you.
- [Eva] You're just drop dead gorgeus.
- Thank you.
- [Kelly] Awesome, well thank you Monet.
Thank you.
Where's Daniella at?
Daniella's also got--
- Oh, Daniella.
- [Kelly] Oh my gosh that's adorable.
- Daniella, this is what I lived in cause
when I find something that works for me I live in it.
Does that happen to you now, as a mom?
- [Kelly] Yes, I get in all the colors.
- I just live in it for three weeks straight, every day.
And I lived in this for three weeks straight, every day.
- [Daniella] This is so comfortable.
- [Kelly] You know why?
Cause it hugs in at the waist and I need that.
- [Eva] It hugs at the waist, you can tuck it
in or tuck it out, and it's still a soft pant,
there's a little stretch to it.
And then I just love a plaid.
- You're so cute Daniella.
- I know, I love plaid.
- [Kelly] And you're a mom too right?
- [Daniella] Yes.
- You said you had two little girls?
- I'm a mom of two girls.
I just had a baby four months ago.
- [Kelly] Oh my God I can't stand you.
- [Eva] That's right, you look so amazing.
Congratulations.
- Yeah, congrats on the baby.
- [Eva] You look amazing, four months.
- And where's Monica at?
- Hi.
- [Kelly] Yes Monica.
- [Eva] Monica.
- Oh my gosh, so tell us about what Monica's wearing.
- Well this is the Estelle sweater set.
I love a sweater set, especially for fall.
I love a sweater set, a sweater dress with boots
without boots.
But she's wearing this beautifully.
And I love, did you do your own jewels here?
- Oh I had a stylist.
- [Eva] Oh you have a stylist?
Okay.
- Its awesome.
- You look gorgeous.
- You look just so beautiful.
And again with the elegance accentuating the waist.
And obviously you have such a beautiful body
but it's still something you can wear to work
and maybe take off the jacket later on when you...
- [Kelly] Yes, Eva.
- So, you know, we like to do a lot of day to night
clothes so this is a great example of that.
- [Kelly] It's awesome.
- I love it, I love it.
- [Eva] And you're so beautiful.
- [Kelly] Nicely done Eva.
Those looks are great.
I love you all.
Thank you for modeling them for us.
Well done Eva.
I love your line.
It wouldn't fit my figure though.
