Careful, Eva! Ms Mendes struggles to maintain her modesty in a minidress as strong wind takes over London premiere of The Other Guys

It's the red carpet faux pas every celebrity dreads - a gust of wind blows up your dress, causing an embarrassing encounter in front of fans and photographers.

And that's what very nearly happened to Eva Mendes as she arrived at the London premiere of her new movie The Other Guys in Leicester Square.

The 36-year-old actress looked stunning in her shot silk green embellished minidress, but perhaps hadn't factored in the London wind as she greeted fans and signed autographs.

As a result, Eva spent the majority of her time outside holding down her dress to ensure she didn't show anything she didn't want to.

Other than that, Eva looked absolutely beautiful in her dress, which she teamed with a pair of aubergine heels and a pretty flowered clutch bag.

Also in attendance were Ultimate Big Brother winner Brian Dowling, Eva's Other Guys co-stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, who prove a hilarious combination in the new film which tells the story of two New York City policemen who have to work together when they are put on a high-profile investigation.

Talking about working with Mark, Ferrell said: 'I think we had a big read through for Sony and Mark, like, killed it. I thought I was really bad and I was just like “Oh my god, Mark is so funny.”

'There was just something about writing stuff in his voice that made us laugh so hard just how serious he was and we were like “Look at you. Why do you do that?” '
Wahlberg added: 'Yeah, me and Will approach the work the same way: be as real and as serious as possible no matter how absurd it is.

'The more absurd it is then the more humor people will find in it. It really is about committing. We never said, “Here’s an opportunity to try to be funny,” but lets be as real as possible. I think the more committed we are that furthers the potential for laughs and humour.'

The role is a slight departure for Wahlberg, who has recently be seen in Shooter and The Departed, but he says he thoroughly enjoyed the change of pace.

He added: 'If you look at I Heart Huckabees and The Departed there was comedic elements in those performances, but obviously the tone was just a little bit different.

'If you turn the tone a little bit to the left or a little bit to the right that makes everything shift.

'It was a nice fit for me and I wanted to do a comedy.

'Obviously, you gotta do the right thing coming from a dramatic background. If not, then you wont get another chance to do it again.

'It’s not the kind of thing where they let you try it over and over again until you get it right. You gotta make a good crack at it.'
