Eva Longoria Proves Mesh Pumps and Chunky Sneakers Are the Only Two Shoes You Need This Summer

When Eva Longoria visited New York City in August 2022 to promote her Casa Del Sol tequila brand, she provided a masterclass in “high-low” dressing.

Balancing her duties as a founder and a director, she relied on two distinct footwear extremes: the functional, chunky white sneaker and the structured mesh pump.

Casual Street Style: Styling Chunky Sneakers with an Oversized Blazer

For a day of press on the move, Longoria chose a relaxed, monochromatic base. She paired a branded black tee and trucker cap with black leggings, grounding the look with thick-soled sneakers.

The outfit highlights how a simple athletic foundation can be adjusted for a city setting by adding a sharp, oversized blazer.

To elevate her off-duty sporty ensemble, she wore an oversized black blazer and accessorized with large gold hoop earrings, a dainty bracelet, a chain necklace, and some rings.

She then wore her signature fluttery lashes with nude lipstick and styled her long tresses in thick waves.

Eva Longoria Stuns in All-Black at the Citi Taste of Tennis Red Carpet

Eva wore another all-black ensemble the previous day as she hit the red carpet at Cipriani 42nd Street for the Citi Taste of Tennis New York 2022.

It is an annual culinary and tennis event that kicks off major tennis tournaments in the Big Apple.

Putting on a leggy display, the Desperate Housewives star arrived in an elegant black blazer mini dress by Rachel Gilbert, an Australian designer known for her modern evening and event wear.

The $1,095 “Malea” mini is inspired by traditional tailoring and features a blazer silhouette with voluminous puff sleeves and embroidered floral detail.

Eva chose to go braless underneath the blazer mini, which was cinched in at the waist with a crystal-embellished button.

She teamed the textured number with black mesh pumps featuring pointed toes and thin stiletto heels. For her accessories, Longoria wore chain hoop earrings and matching diamond-accented chain necklaces, curated by her stylist, Charlene Roxborough Konsker.

At one point, Eva was pictured promoting her tequila brand on the blue carpet. Wearing purple nails, the actress flashed her pearly whites while carrying a Casa Del Sol tequila bottle.
