How Eva Longoria Anchored Her Boldest Cannes Looks With Aquazzura Heels

During the 75th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, in May 2022, Eva Longoria wore a series of striking red-carpet and event looks that highlighted both her fashion choices and her footwear preferences.

From Aquazzura’s crystal-embellished Moon sandals to metallic Ari sandals, the petite actress repeatedly relied on elevated heels to complement everything from cutout evening gowns to tailored daytime separates. Here’s a closer look at the outfits and shoes she wore throughout her busy week in Cannes.

For the amfAR Charity Gala, Longoria wore a black Monot gown featuring an asymmetrical neckline, strategic cutouts, and a dramatic thigh-high slit that revealed her footwear.

Selected by her stylist, Charlene Konsker, the floor-sweeping number features a one-shoulder silhouette with a curved strap, an angular front cutout, and a cleavage-baring asymmetric neckline.

The sweeping silhouette and high slit created a strong visual contrast, balancing the gown’s floor-length proportions while drawing attention to her crystal-embellished sandals.

Underneath her frock was a pair of Aquazzura “Moon” crystal sandals, which boosted her height by several inches.

These sleek and sexy sandals are made of nappa leather and feature micro-crystal embellishments on the front straps and back counters. They also have ankle straps and 4-inch heels.

Elevating the look further, Eva accessorized with Chopard jewelry, including a pair of large oval drop diamond earrings.

Hairstylist Ricardo Rojas gave Eva a curly high ponytail using his Full Blown Volumizing styling spray, Oribe’s Royal Blowout, and T3 curling iron.

Meanwhile, makeup artist James Molloy created her signature look with smoky eye makeup and nude lipstick.

Pinko Lace Ensemble and Aquazzura Moon Heels at the Chopard Love Cinema Gala

Jose Baston’s wife set pulses racing in another sexy black ensemble as she attended the Chopard Love Cinema Gala at Hotel Martinez in Cannes.

Her two-piece outfit included a black lace bodysuit with a taffeta wrap skirt from Pinko’s Spring/Summer 2022 ‘Dress to Impress’ capsule collection.

The sensational jacquard lace top, which retails for $295, showcased her ample cleavage with its plunging V-neckline. It also features an open back, thin adjustable shoulder straps, and a logo-bearing elastic band under the bust.

The podcast host decided to ignore the leg-or-cleavage fashion rule by putting her legs on display in a wrap-style skirt with a dangerously high slit, which gave us a clear view of her Moon heels from the popular women’s shoe brand.

Of course, Eva styled her femme fatale look with pieces of diamond jewelry from Chopard, no less. She wore a pair of dangling diamond-and-emerald earrings and added a diamond cuff to each wrist.

Beauty-wise, Eva wore her dark tresses in a sleek center-parted bun and added some color to her head-to-toe black look with a swipe of pink lipstick.

Roberto Cavalli Cutout Gown and Hidden Saint Laurent Pumps at the Global Gift Gala

The Casa Del Sol owner also showcased a series of hot looks while attending several events at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.

Eva, the honorary chair of the Global Gift Foundation, made a glamorous entrance at the Global Gift Gala held at the JW Marriott hotel.

She arrived in a stunning Roberto Cavalli Spring 2022 creation with a bondage-style design featuring sexy peekaboo cutouts, a halter neck, and a floor-sweeping see-through skirt. The cutout fabrics are held together by gold carabiners adorned with fangs and panther heads.

The iconic actress complemented the look with gold Messika jewelry, including a pair of giant, thin gold hoop earrings, an Iconic Glam’Azone double ring, a My Twin ring, and an Independent Icon ring.

She was reportedly wearing a pair of Saint Laurent pumps, which were unfortunately not visible from under her gown.

To complete her look, she pulled her tresses back into a sleek center-parted ponytail and enhanced her features with heavy lashes, smoky eyeshadow, and nude lip gloss.

Victoria Beckham’s Orange Cutout Gown at L’Oréal Paris’ Cannes Anniversary Dinner

As a longtime L’Oréal Paris ambassador, Eva Longoria attended the brand’s 25th Anniversary dinner during the Cannes Film Festival in a striking burnt-orange gown from Victoria Beckham’s Spring 2022 collection.

Crafted from stretch jersey, the halter-neck design featured a floor-length silhouette and strategically placed cutouts that highlighted the warm hue and clean lines of the dress. The vibrant color offered a sharp contrast to the black ensembles she wore elsewhere during the festival week.
