Eva Longoria, the glamorous star of Desperate Housewives, found herself in a sticky fashion situation at the Cannes Film Festival. The actress, who’s no stranger to the red carpet, had a wardrobe malfunction that required a safety pin and a lot of grace to handle.
The 49-year-old dazzled at the premiere of Emilia Perez in a stunning teal gown adorned with bedazzled straps and strategically placed cutouts showcasing her toned torso. The thigh-high slit revealed her long, sculpted legs, making her a standout on the red carpet at the Palais des Festivals. Despite the risky nature of her attire, Eva managed to pull off the look flawlessly at the premiere.
However, the glitz and glamour took a turn for the worse once she returned to her hotel. As Eva walked into the lobby, her dress shifted, revealing her underwear. A quick adjustment and a bit of backstage magic were required to keep things in place. This incident adds to her list of memorable Cannes moments. “I think everything has happened to me on the red carpet,” Eva shared with Vogue France. “I have fallen, worn a dress backward, and even lost jewelry. Everything is possible in Cannes.”
Eva’s adventures in Cannes have always been eventful. She recalls an incident when strong winds blew her salad right off her plate during a press event. “I was eating and it was gone, and I thought, ‘what is happening?’” she laughed. Despite these mishaps, Eva treasures her Cannes experiences, saying, “My greatest memory is just being on the Croisette and feeling the energy of all the people.”
Eva is typically more conservative in her everyday attire, especially when working out. Last month, she took to Instagram to show off her new workout set from Zentoa. “Look how cute! It’s seamless, so you don’t get the camel toe,” she said, flaunting her figure in her massive closet inside her $23 million mansion. Fans were treated to a glimpse of her fitness routine and impeccable style.
While Eva continues to shine in her various ventures, fans might soon see her return to the small screen. Actor Jesse Metcalfe, who played John Rowland on Desperate Housewives, hinted at a possible reboot. “I can certainly see that happening and I’d be open to it. There’s definitely been discussions,” he revealed. Eva has also expressed her enthusiasm for reprising her role as Gaby Solis, saying she “misses Gaby so much” and imagines her as a social media mogul today.
Desperate Housewives, which aired from 2004 to 2012, followed the lives of friends in a seemingly perfect suburban neighborhood. The show was celebrated for its dramatic storylines, intriguing mysteries, and witty humor. Eva, along with Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, and Marcia Cross, received praise for their performances, bringing multi-dimensional female characters to life.
