New mum Eva Mendes has expanded her fashion passions by creating a line of bridesmaids dresses.

The Place Beyond the Pines star's first line of party dresses, pants, shirts and accessories with designers at New York & Company hit stores in 2013, and now she is working on a range of wedding-related gowns and accessories, which will be available in the U.S. in January (15).

A statement from Mendes reads, "An important day needs a special dress. I love this collection for weddings and other special events. Feel great and dance the night away!"

The budget line includes eight dresses ranging in price from $79 (£49) to $119 (£74).

Mendes and actor Ryan Gosling welcomed daughter Esmeralda Amada in September (14).
