Eva Longoria ditched her glam heels and went barefoot while departing the glitzy 2024 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The actress, 49, didn’t think twice about the comfiest option and was snapped leaving the star-studded annual event.
The Desperate Housewives alum wrapped up against the cold in a chic black coat, flashing her dazzling gown which she previously showed off on the sensational red carpet.
Carrying a green goody bag, Eva still exuded elegance as she headed to her car after the lavish night.
Earlier the American star made a sizzling appearance on the red carpet of the Fourth Annual Academy Museum Gala – where she was joined my music favourite Ricky Martin.

Eva turned heads in a figure-hugging black dress with a floor-length skirt, featuring a dramatic extra tulle bustier with shimmery details.
She beamed from ear to ear for the lense, adding a matching dazzling diamond jewellery set completed with earrings, a bracelets and rings.
The Flamin’ Hot director kept the accessories to the minimum, sporting her raven locks in a typical straight hair-do.
Eva boosted her natural looks with a bronze make-up palette and nude gloss, as the beauty then posed alongside Puerto Rican singer Ricky, 52.
The duo appeared in jovial sprits, embracing one another and showing off their best grins under the limelight – after the duo rubbed shoulder all night with A-listers.
The Desperate Housewives favourite has been ‘quietly making savvy business moves’ as she plots her transition from actress to investor, having been inspired by her close girlfriends Victoria Beckham and Serena Williams.
The actress and philanthropist, who is already worth a reported $50 million, has invested in multiple projects in recent years, including Siete Foods, which was acquired by Pepsi Co for $1.2 billion last week.
It comes months after DailyMail.com revealed that Longoria and her husband José Bastón, 56 – entrepreneur and founder of indie studio Elefantec Global – had quit Los Angeles for Marbella, Spain, in a bid to escape Hollywood.

‘Eva has quietly been making some savvy business moves behind the scenes for a few years now,’ revealed a source close to the actress.
‘Her venture into the world of investing was really sparked by some of her close gal pals who urged her to think beyond Hollywood.
‘One of her biggest inspirations was her best friend, Victoria Beckham.’
The former Spice Girl-turned-fashion mogul launched her eponymous label in 2008 before extending into beauty in 2021, with the British star now worth an estimated $70 million.
‘Eva has watched Vic transition from a massive pop star to a fashion mogul who created a brand that she is also very involved in,’ the source continued. ‘Vic has also been able to do this while raising a family and she really values her advice and friendship. She showed Eva how to build a lasting empire.’
