Eva Longoria Shines Bright in a Beaded Elie Saab Gown and Gold Platforms at Cannes Film Festival 2023

Eva Longoria graced the red carpet at “The Old Oak” screening during the 76th annual Cannes Film Festival yesterday in the south of France.

The “Desperate Housewives” star was outfitted in an elegant bodycon Elie Saab gown comprised of a fitted halter-style bodice with beaded silver, white and gold sprawling appliques set on a nude fabric that offered Longoria a nude illusion. The gown also featured delicate cut-outs on the sides that further transitioned into a floor-sweeping skirt. Additionally, the garment featured a sheer lacy train that trailed behind Longoria as she traversed the carpet.

Although they were hard to see, Longoria appeared to wear gold sparkling sandal heels from Santoni with thin but secure straps, platform soles and stiletto heels.

When it comes down to footwear, Longoria is an avid sneaker collector. She frequently shares photos and videos of her at-home workouts on social media in shoes from Nike, New Balance, Asics, and more. The actress, director, and producer has also added “designer” to her resume with a trend-based footwear collection, made in collaboration with the European retailers Eobuwie and Modivo.

For more formal occasions, however, Longoria favors pointed-toe pumps and sleek sandals from high-end brands like Christian Louboutin, Victoria Beckham and Gianvito Rossi, among others.
