Eva Longoria Shines at Monaco Global Gift Gala
Actress attends the second annual charity event in a striking black velvet gown.
Eva Longoria exuded chic on Friday as she graced the red carpet at the Monaco Global Gift Gala, held at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo. The 51-year-old actress presented a striking figure in a strapless black velvet gown at the second annual event, which convenes individuals from the realms of entertainment, business, and philanthropy for an evening supporting charitable causes in Monaco and beyond.
Longoria's glamorous ensemble featured a silver, embellished trim and a daring split at the back. She complemented her look with towering black heels and dazzling diamond jewelry, including hoop earrings and a necklace. As the Honorary Chair for the foundation, Longoria was photographed with other guests, including Princess Stephanie of Monaco, who wore a stylish red ruffled gown.
The gala appearance follows a busy week for Longoria, who had been in Paris supporting Victoria Beckham at her Paris Fashion Week runway show. Longoria also participated in L'Oreal's Paris show, appearing on the runway alongside notable figures such as Jane Fonda, Kendall Jenner, Heidi Klum, and Cara Delevingne.
In recent months, Longoria has been engaged in shooting numerous campaigns and has also been traveling in Europe. She relocated to Spain two years ago with her husband, José Bastón, and their son, Sebastian, and the family now divides their time between Mexico and Spain. Longoria, originally from Texas with Spanish heritage, has expressed her fondness for Spain's Andalucía region, noting her frequent patronage of chiringuitos, small beach bars and restaurants. Longoria and Bastón celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary in May. She previously described their relationship as still flowering, recalling a romantic anniversary trip to a castle in France's Loire Valley, while also noting that a typical date night for them involves cooking tacos and enjoying wine.
