Eva Longoria made history this week with the celebration of the 15th edition of the Global Gift Gala in Paris on November 5. For the special evening, Longoria, who has served as Honorary Chair and co-host alongside María Bravo since the fundraiser’s inception, shone on stage in a fiery-red evening dress dripping in sparkles.
The sculptural Gaurav Gupta gown boasted a low-cut sweetheart neckline and a thigh-high slit embellished with ropes of glittery fabric, creating the illusion of several layers along the skirt. The design also featured a vibrant inner lining reminiscent of the red carpet.

“Paris, what a memorable night! Celebrating fifteen years of The Global Gift Gala with my dear friend @mariarbravo was so special. ❤️,” Longoria captioned photos of herself in the shimmering dress on Instagram. “Thank you to our wonderful family at @fsgeorgevparis and our dear friends at @apmmonaco for your generosity, warmth and love.”
The Desperate Housewives alum accessorized with strappy gold heeled sandals and statement jewelry from APM Monaco’s Winter 2026 collection. Notably, she paired the brilliant design with a sparkling, V-shaped necklace composed of floral medallions dripping in diamonds. She completed the elegant ensemble with diamond earrings, a matching statement ring, and two bangle bracelets.

For the event, Longoria wowed in a sleeveless halter-neck gown with a silver-embellished bodice and a sleek black skirt dripping in sequins. On both occasions, she accessorized with glittering diamond jewelry.
