    • On Saturday afternoon, actress Eva Mendes took to Instagram to share a video of herself at a design meeting.
    • A troll hopped into the comment section to criticize Mendes' appearance, writing that she was "getting old."
    • Instead of ignoring the comment, Mendes shot back, replying that getting old is a good thing and that's she grateful to be aging.

    Eva Mendes isn't afraid of aging, thank you very much.

    On Saturday, the actress shared a new video on Instagram showing off her new haircut during a design meeting.

    "⁣Back to work. Design meeting," Mendes wrote in the clip's caption. "My coworker getting her kicks and teasing me about my “cute” new hair. Thanks to @giannandreahair for making my mom life a helluva lot easier. 🖤Saturday meeting aesthetic ...EM for @nyandcompany Reilly Blazer and Qiana Palazzo pant which I lorve so much. Avail online if you care. Thought I’d let you know since lots of you ask what I’m wearing. 🖤"

    Instead of just ignoring the shade, Mendes took to the comments herself to reply—and perfectly shut down the problematic remark.
