Longoria’s footwear also included thick and lofty platform soles and breezy peep-toes. The strappy set was finished off with 5- to 6-inch stiletto heels, offering the “Desperate Housewives” actress a sky-high boost. Platform heels are a favorite of many top stars, Longoria included. In fact, the thespian tends to wear platform styles, usually of the sandal variety, in a range of her looks both on and off the red carpet.

Turning heads, the film producer was outfitted in a striking bright red floor-length gown. Longoria’s gown was form-fitted and comprised of long sleeves, a high neckline and a striking side slit that traveled up the length of her leg, stopping at her hip. The dress also included a backless construction and high-shine silver hardware. Rounding out her look, Longoria wore sparkling diamond-encrusted studs and styled her dark brown tresses slicked back and gathered into a sleek and sophisticated updo.

When it comes 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 have also added “designer” to her resume with a trend-based footwear collection, made in collaboration with the European retailers Eobuwie and Modivo.
