Camila Mendes flaunted her fantastic figure in midtown Manhattan on Valentine’s Day.
The Riverdale star, 29, wore a figure-hugging black minidress with three oval shaped cutouts down the front of the bodice.
She also wore a long black coat, sheet black hose and red pumps as she strode across the sidewalk from an SUV to her destination with a smile on her face.
Camila is currently starring in the Amazon Prime romantic comedy Upgraded and hopes this film helps boost the genre back to popularity.
‘I got to be an executive producer on it, so I’m very personally connected to it because I’ve never been so involved in a project before,’ Mendes told WTHR News. ‘It’s so beautiful to see the final product and know the journey it took to get there.’

Camila stars in the movie with Marisa Tomei, Archie Renaux, Lena Olin, Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Anthony Head.
She plays an intern who finds love in first class on a flight, but lies about her job title.
Mendes stars as Ana, an ambitious young intern in the art world who cannot wait to make it big in the field. She wants desperately to impress her demanding boss Claire – played by Tomei.
She’s tasked with helping Claire on a business trip to London and gets upgraded to first class where she meets a cute Englishman (Renaux) who mistakes her for her boss.
In her interview with WTHR she said it was easy to build the chemistry with Renaux.
‘We got along right away. We share a manager, so he linked us over text leading up to the film,’ Mendes said. ‘We were texting for months before we actually met each other in-person, and we got to establish a really nice dynamic that way.’
The Do Revenge star also talked about the Miranda Priestly-esque role Oscar winner Tomei plays in the film.
‘She’s incredible. She brought so many interesting choices to the character that weren’t even on the page,’ Mendes said. ‘We were very lucky to have an actress of her caliber playing a role like that.’

Camila primarily wanted to produce the film – and her upcoming projects – so that she wouldn’t be typecast from her six years of playing Veronica Lodge on Riverdale.
‘I’m sure I will be typecast – I think people are gonna offer me roles based off things that they’ve already seen me do. So it only’s natural that’s what would happen,’ she told Variety.
She feels like producing ‘…is a way for me to take agency over my career and force people to see me do things they haven’t seen me do before — whether they like it or not,’ she said.
The Perfect Date actress also revealed what drew her to Upgraded, explaining; ‘I really fell in love with the story, I thought it was unique. I’d never seen a rom-com set in the art world before. It felt like a version of Devil Wears Prada, but in the art auction house world, so that was really appealing to me.’
