How do you say 'she has blue eyes' and 'she is wearing a red and blue jacket' ?

Need it urgently!

Maybe not.

I don't speak French fluently. So, you might consider giving the following translation sites a try.

I know that we have some French speaking individuals on this site, so hopefully, one of them might also happen to notice your question.

she has blue eyes: elle a les yeux bleu <-check the spelling because it might be slightly off..
she is wearing a red and blue jacket: elle porte une veste rouge et bleu

There's a little mistake in the first sentence: Elle a les yeux bleus.
"Bleu" is a simple adjective here. Therefore, you have to add the plural because "les yeux" is plural.

The second sentence is correct. Adjectives that describe multicolored objects do not change.
