With open-toe mules having a major moment right now, I wasn’t surprised to see Eva Longoria step out in the Giuseppe Zanotti “Intriigo” mules.
She isn’t the only one leaning into the silhouette this spring; we just saw Olivia Munn pull off a masterclass in New York with sculptural Victoria Beckham and Paris Texas heels, while Camila Morrone recently sharpened a nude lace Gucci dress with those same black patent Paris Texas “Lidia” mules.

She wore them as she arrived at the Today show studios to promote her new travel-and-food series, Eva Longoria: Searching for France, which premieres on CNN on April 12.
The show follows her previous projects, Searching for Spain and Searching for Mexico, in which she explores culture, cuisine, and the places that shaped her love of food.
Eva Longoria Sharpens Her Today Show Look in Giuseppe Zanotti Intriigo Mules
Eva slipped into the Giuseppe Zanotti “Intriigo” mules, part of the same line as the sandal version that’s been making rounds last awards season on stars like Anya Taylor-Joy and Renate Reinsve.
Longoria wore the mule version of the Intriigo, which kept the same sleek, sharp silhouette but with a more laid-back, slip-on feel.
The pair featured pointed open toes that gave it a polished, modern edge, while the thin 3.5-inch stiletto heels added height and elegance without feeling too heavy.
Finishing these mules were the brown leather insoles stamped with the label’s logo, adding a hint of luxe. These retail for $795 at Farfetch.

Eva Longoria Balances the Patent Mules With a Sculpted Victoria Beckham Midi Dress
Eva paired the mules with a charcoal black midi dress by Victoria Beckham. The dress looked simple at first glance, with its round neckline and long sleeves, but the details made all the difference.
The gathered effect on one side of the waist added shape and made the silhouette more flattering, while the basque waist further defined her figure. The long sleeves came with thumbholes, giving the look a slightly modern, practical edge.
The skirt then flowed into an asymmetrical midi hem, moving beautifully as she walked and adding a bit of drama to an otherwise understated piece. You can get this dress for $748 at Farfetch.

Soft Waves, Statement Earrings, and Red Nails Finish Eva Longoria’s Polished Promo Look
Eva Longoria kept her accessories minimal with statement earrings and a few rings, letting the outfit speak for itself. Her red nails added a nice pop of color against the all-black look.
To finish everything off, she wore her brunette hair in soft, tousled waves and went for simple glam with mascara and peachy lipstick.
