EVA Longoria brought the party to a charity gala dinner held in Marbella, Spain, over the weekend.

On Sunday, Eva attended the Global Gift gala dinner held in Marbella. She walked down the red carpet in a red satin floor-length dress with cut-outs across her chest and neck.
She wore her hair in a voluminous, middle-parted ponytail and accessorized with gold hoops and rings.
Eva, who joined Spanish TV presenter Vicky Martín Berrocal on the red carpet, later let her hair down at the charity celebration, as she was photographed dancing barefoot on a table.
She was also spotted taking tequila shots with Mariana Padilla, a Mexican-based artisan and entrepreneur with whom she co-founded the luxury tequila brand Casa Del Sol.
The duo posed for multiple photographs and videos that Eva later shared on her Instagram account.
The gala dinner comes days after Eva was spotted enjoying a beach day in Marbella with her husband Jose Baston, 56.
For the outing, she chose a bright blue bikini and completed her look with black sunglasses and a large straw hat.
Earlier this month, Eva was asked about rumors that Desperate Housewives, the iconic dramedy that catapulted the star into the spotlight.
During an appearance on Good Morning America on July 4, Eva addressed the possibility of a Desperate Housewives reunion, adding “I’d be the first one to sign up”.
“Everybody asks me one hundred times a day if we’re going to do a reboot and I’m like, I’d be the first one to sign up. I’d be on Wisteria Lane right now just waiting, waiting, for the crew,” Eva, who played the role of Gabrielle Solis, said.
“I loved my time on that show. I love all the women,” she added, referring to her cast mates Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, and Teri Hatcher, who starred as the show’s titular housewives alongside Eva.
She also told The Guardian that being a part of Desperate Housewives was “completely” life-changing, adding that the show was “such a phenomenon.”

Eva attributed its enduring appeal to the fact that the ABC drama explored “timeless” themes such as “family, friendship, motherhood, divorce, love.”
She was most recently seen in Land of Women, the Apple TV+ series where Eva plays Gala, a New York socialite who finds herself on the run in a quaint Spanish town with her mother and daughter.
