Eva Longoria is making waves not just for her fashionable ensembles, but also for her latest film and accolades, showcasing her multifaceted career during her promotional tour in New York City for "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip." On March 18, 2025, she kicked off her promotional appearances with a vibrant red dress and bold accessories, exuding confidence and charisma.
Styled by Maeve Reilly, Longoria's outfit for her appearance on "Good Morning America" was a long-sleeve bodycon dress from Monique Lhuillier, featuring a flattering scooped neckline and a length that cut just above the ankle. The dress was perfectly complemented by pointed-toe scarlet heels, making her look both chic and stylish. Longoria kept her accessories minimal yet striking, donning silver hoop earrings, a diamond-encrusted necklace, and several eye-catching rings.
Her hair cascaded in soft waves, parted to the side, while her makeup featured a brown smokey eye, accentuating her striking features with a glossy pink lip. During the interview, Longoria shared her desire to prioritize family time over her career. "I want to say 'no' to more projects that limit my time with my family," she explained. Furthermore, she expressed pride in her upcoming film, which aims for wholesome family entertainment, stating, "there's not a lot of movies that you can sit and watch with your kids, you can sit and watch with your mom. I love being in these movies because Santi can watch it with me."
Her son, Santiago Enrique Bastón, born in June 2018 with her husband José Bastón, has become a focal point in her life, which she is navigating while adapting to their recent relocation between Mexico and Spain. Longoria nostalgically mentioned her childhood spent on a ranch in Texas, revealing her aspiration to embrace a simplified lifestyle. "I've been making my own butter, my own bread, and my own mayonnaise... I need chickens and goats and cows so I can... make my stuff," she shared, indicating a shift towards a more traditional life.
Just the day before on March 19, Longoria was again in the spotlight, showcasing another stunning look during her promotional tour. She opted for a Michael Kors midi dress, inspired by designs from the brand's spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection. This particular dress featured a structured bodice, an A-line skirt that boasted a back slit, and an exaggerated thin black belt that cinched her waist beautifully. Paired with black, pointed-toe heels and styled to perfection by Ken Pavés, her refined appearance was completed by understated jewelry—a delicate necklace and dainty rings.
As if her promotional agenda wasn’t enough, Longoria is set to receive the prestigious Honorary PLATINO Award at the upcoming 12th edition of the Platino Awards, scheduled for April 27, 2025, at the Palacio Municipal IFEMA in Madrid. This honor recognizes her remarkable career in the entertainment industry and her efforts to elevate Latin representation within Hollywood. Longoria's impressive resume includes notable roles in beloved series like "Desperate Housewives" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." Her recent directorial debut with "Flamin’ Hot" emerged as Searchlight Pictures’ most-watched streaming premiere and even secured an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.
Longoria's influence extends beyond acting, as she also helms her production company, UnbeliEVAble Entertainment. She has produced a variety of projects, including the ABC series "Grand Hotel," showcasing her commitment to showcasing Latin culture and talent in the industry. Additionally, her passion for her roots is evident in her participation in the CNN docuseries "Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico" and its upcoming follow-up, "Searching for Spain."
Her impact in nurturing and promoting Latina voices in film is felt widely, positioning Longoria not just as a star but also as an advocate for diversity and representation in Hollywood. Past recipients of the Honorary PLATINO Award, such as Benicio del Toro and Carmen Maura, now welcome Longoria into a prestigious circle of artists recognized for their contributions to Ibero-American cinema.
The Platino Awards celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Latin American cinema and highlight outstanding achievements in the industry. This year’s ceremony will feature a total of 23 awards, highlighting the work of creatives across disciplines—from acting and directing to production and storytelling.
With a focus on family, cultural roots, and professional endeavors, Eva Longoria continues to captivate audiences and expand her legacy, leading by example in her dedication to both her craft and her loved ones. As she balances her glamorous appearances with the responsibilities of motherhood and her advocacy work, Longoria exemplifies how art and personal life can harmoniously coexist.
