Camila Mendes is on the promo tour for her new movie Musica with her latest stop on GMA on Wednesday.
The Riverdale alum, 29, looked gorgeous in a long, off-the-shoulder brown dress and cream-colored pumps.
She was spotted outside the GMA Studios wearing a cream, floor-length coat over her shoulders.
The Upgrade star’s hair was worn in soft waves and she sported a radiant palette of make-up.
Camila plays Isabella in Musica, which was written, directed and stars her boyfriend of two years, Rudy Mancuso, 32.

‘There’s a lot to the plot,’ Camilla began. ‘We have three different genres going on. There’s a rom com, there’s a sort of coming-of-age story, there’s the Brazilian-American aspect, a very cultural aspect of the film.
And she also said it is told through the point of view of someone who has synesthesia, which Mancuso has.
Mancuso has musical synesthesia, during which he makes sense and order out of every day sounds.
Mendes co-produced the film and told the hosts what that experience was like, calling it ‘amazing.’
‘When I got the script in my inbox, I was like I have to be more involved than just as an actress, being able to tell a Brazilian-American story is so rare, I’ve never been able to do that in my career,’ she said.
‘I hope people learn a little bit about Brazilian culture because it’s so nuanced and so different from other Latin cultures.’
She also hopes audiences also grasp the coming-of-age aspect of the film.
‘Rudy is running around trying to please everybody in his life and ultimately what he realizes is that you can’t feed others until you’re fed,’ she explained.
Camila shared snaps from her visit to the GMA studios and captioned the post: ‘bom dia américa!!’

Mancuso cast his real-life mother Maria to play his onscreen mother in Musica and shot most of the film in the house and neighborhood he grew up in.
‘This is not an experience that a lot of film makers, certainly not first time film makers get to have, so a bizarre experience in real time in the making, retrospectively very rewarding,’ the You Tuber turned actor said.
