Longoria arrived on the Croisette in a sheer couture gown with complementary Santoni heels.
Eva Longoria arrived at the 10th Global Gift Gala on May 19, held at Hotel Martinez during the Cannes Film Festival, wearing a hand-embroidered Yanina couture gown and silver Santoni heels. The “Flamin’ Hot” director was present in support of the fundraising initiative which raises money for women, children and families.
The fitted gown was made up of a sheer mesh material, with barely visible long sleeves and an imperceptible high neckline. The outfit included nude-colored undergarments that allowed the unique print of the dress to shine; the gown featured feather-shaped designs adorning the fabric from head to toe, most concentrated amid the bodice. The transparent beige skirt flared slightly and hung elegantly to the floor, exposing Longoria’s legs and matching shoes.
The simple open-toed heels featured a slight platform and a single strap across the ankle and toes. The shiny silver material picked up the embroidery on her dress. A fan of the Italian shoe brand, Longoria wore the same heels earlier in the festival, when she attended the premiere of “Emilia Pérez” on May 18. That time around, the platforms complemented a seafoam green gown with silver accents. Far from the only celebrity at Cannes to favor silver heels, Longoria’s footwear might be compared to Lucy Hale’s metallic Miu Miu heels or Kelly Rowland’s shiny Jimmy Choos.
Stylist Maeve Reilly put together Longoria’s outfit. Reilly has styled a myriad of other looks for the actress at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. She recently wore a glittering gold Oscar de la Renta gown with matching heels; last week, she stepped onto the red carpet decked out in a silver Elie Saab gown with a plunging neckline.
The Global Gift Foundation, which hosted the gala in France, supports the Eva Longoria Foundation. Longoria’s charity advocates for the social inclusion of women and children of Latina origin by way of education and entrepreneurship.
