On Monday, Eva posted a behind-the-scenes video that showed her getting ready for a photo shoot.
She was seen in glam before taking her place in front of the camera.
In the caption, the Girl in Progress star opened up about one of her biggest insecurities.
“Sometimes I get so nervous to just talk. Yup- just talk,” Eva, who is notoriously private, wrote.
“Growing up bilingual was great but I feel like I never mastered either language.
“So when it comes to expressing myself -I can get super ‘ansiosa’ at times.”
“I’m so grateful to @mossovskaya for helping feel more confident by bringing me clothes that make me feel good, like this @moniquehullier dress and @jimmychoo heels,” the star added.
“Sometimes, only sometimes, confidence can start from the outside in.”
Fans in the comments seemed to resonate with that message.
“I always believed in ‘dressing for the part you want,’ it does wonders for my confidence,” one supporter posted.
“This is very interesting! [English] is my second language and I’m always nervous when I speak it [especially] with my accent,” a second commenter shared.
“So gorgeous and also able to be vulnerable = powerhouse,” a third fan praised.
LUCKY IN LOVE
Although Eva tends to keep her private life far from the spotlight, she has been opening up more as of late.
Over the weekend, the star shared a sweet video made by a fan account dedicated to her husband, Ryan Gosling.

They have kept the details of their relationship very private.
The actress and her Barbie star husband welcomed their first child, a daughter named Esmeralda, in 2014.
Two years later, they welcomed a second daughter called Amada.
The children are kept out of the spotlight.
“I have always had a clear boundary when it comes to my man and my kids. I’ll talk about them, of course, with limits, but I won’t post pictures of our daily life,” she told People in 2020.
“Since my children are still so little and don’t understand what posting their image really means, I don’t have their consent. And I won’t post their image until they’re old enough to give me consent.”
Eva confirmed that she and Ryan were married in 2022 when she referred to him as her husband during an appearance on Channel 9’s Today.
