Longoria's regal golden look is a work of art.
Eva Longoria has hopped aboard the sculptural trend in the most festive way possible. Following in the footsteps of the likes of Selena Gomez, Coco Rocha, Catherine O’Hara, and—well—herself, Longoria donned a dress that transformed her into a walking work of art.
Attending the Opening Ceremony at the Red Sea International Film Festival 2024 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the actress wore a metallic golden dress with a plunging, off-the-shoulder neckline and bustier bodice. The dress also featured ruched fabric draped along her midsection before flowing into an A-line skirt and elegant train that trailed out behind her.
She wore her hair in a slick updo to show off geometric dangly earrings. She opted to go sans necklace, drawing even more attention to the intricate bodice of her dress. She finished off the look with a few delicate bracelets and a pair of open-toe platform heels.
This is only the latest in a long list of glamorous red carpet looks from Longoria. Last month, she wore a sheer maxi dress along with a dramatic headpiece. A month earlier, she wore a glittering silver sculptural gown with sheer cutout detailing. Back in September, she opted for a sequined gown that was sheer from the waist down.
Longoria took to the stage during the ceremony to speak about her fears over cutbacks to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in America. “It’s funny, this kind of pendulum of DEI programs that are being cut back, and a lot of great directors and writers that come out of those programs will suffer, because they give opportunity where opportunity is not usually there,” she said, per Deadline.
She went on: “It’s much harder for women to break through in Hollywood, and it’s much harder for people of color to break through."
She later spoke about her hopes for the future of the industry. “I really want to know how can I build pipeline of future talent so that when they go to the next job, they can say, 'I just worked with Eva Longoria’, and somebody goes, ‘Oh, great, now I’ll hire you’. It’s about helping build the resumés of all of these talented women and all of these talented people of color, specifically for me, Latinos," she said.
Longoria will also be giving a talk today as part of the events of the festival.
