Eva Longoria made headlines at the Cannes Film Festival when she wore a stunning gown that cost just $39 (37 euros), a decision she later came to regret.
In a candid interview with “The Sunday Times,” Eva reflected on her experience at the 2005 festival, revealing that she initially had no grasp of the red carpet’s significance. Leading up to the event, she purchased a gold dress on Melrose Avenue, believing it was a great choice. However, the public’s reactions and inquiries about the dress’s designer quickly led her to realize her misstep.
Even L’Oréal, for which she was an ambassador, suggested she consider hiring a stylist in the future. Although Eva admitted she doesn’t typically follow trends, she favors classic styles and comfort, expressing a desire to emulate the fashion sense of her friend, Victoria Beckham.
Additionally, Eva recalled a pivotal moment in her career when Laura Bush, the wife of former President George W. Bush, praised “Desperate Housewives” during a 2005 speech, significantly elevating the show’s profile and solidifying her status as a global star.
