Eva Mendes, Calvin Klein Underwear

Mendes’ new photos, which were shot in early March by renowned photographer Steven Meisel, will pop up around the world - including several outdoor locations in New York.

The sexy ads mark a comeback of sorts for the actress, who checked into Utah’s Cirque Lodge rehab facility in January to treat “personal issues.”

“Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support,” her rep said in a statement earlier this year.

Her last major film was 2007’s “We Own the Night,” but the actress has been hard at work since leaving rehab. Mendes is scheduled to appear next in the drama, “The Women” - and on billboards near you … in her underwear.
