Eva Longoria swaps heels for comfort as she leaves ELLE’s star-studded Women In Hollywood event following stunning red carpet appearance in glitzy gown

Eva Longoria ditched her heels as soon as she departed ELLE’s Women In Hollywood event at Nya Studios in Los Angeles on Tuesday. 

The actress, 48, swapped her towering high-heels to go bare foot to make a more comfortable exit.

She wrapped up warm in a long black over coat and strutted out of the star-studded event to get back home.

At the bash, Eva brought the glamour to the red carpet in a glamorous glitzy gown, joining Jennifer Lopez and Alexandra Daddario.

Earlier in the night, the Desperate Housewives star stunned in a metallic silver maxi gown, which featured a low-cut cleavage and rhinestone embellished straps. 

The event celebrates the nine 2023 ELLE Women in Hollywood honorees who are making creative and cultural changes in the industry: Jennifer, Eva, Jodie Foster, Taraji P. Henson, America Ferrera, Danielle Brooks, Greta Lee, Fantasia Barrino Taylor, and Lily Gladstone. 

Eva told Elle about why it’s so important for her to tell complex Latin stories on the big screen.

She said: ‘Hollywood gets to decide what heroes look like, and they never look like us.’ 

Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez, 53, appeared to be in great spirits as she departed the event solo after brushing shoulders with celebrities. 

The stunner couldn’t seem to wipe the smile off her face as she departed still looking as glamorous as ever.

Natasha Lyonne looked freezing as she left the event wrapping herself warm in a black blazer.

The actress and film maker, 44, departed the event with smudged eye-makeup and was pictured glued to her phone.

She wore a gorgeous lace maxi gown with a mesh over lay and teamed her outfit with a stylish Yves Saint Laurent handbag.

Jodie Foster, 61, and her wife Alexandra Hedison, 54, looked smitten as they departed the event holding hands. 

Eva recently admitted that she ‘doesn’t care’ she is ‘pigeonholed as the ‘sexy one’ in Desperate Housewives.

She said she is ‘riding that wave to the beach’ after her role as Gabrielle Solis propelled her to Hollywood.

And Eva is every inch the femme fatale on the cover of ELLE’s December/January 2023 Women in Hollywood issue.

Eva said: ‘I remember when I was on Housewives and I was the sexy one, people were like, “Are you scared you’re going to be pigeonholed as sexy?”

‘I was like, “Oh God, no. I’m riding that wave to the beach. Go ahead and say I’m sexy”.

‘I don’t care, because there’s going to be a day when you’re going to say I’m not sexy, and I won’t care then either.’
