Eva Longoria Shines in Designer Heels While Reclaiming Her Spanish Voice

Despite the challenges of reclaiming her language, Longoria’s confidence has always shone on the red carpet.

At the June 2023 Flamin’ Hot premiere in Hollywood, Eva Longoria stood alongside fellow Latina star Becky G—whose parents are of Mexican descent and whose grandparents hail from Jalisco—together with songwriter Diane Warren.

The trio underscored the night’s cultural pride, while Longoria’s designer heels reaffirmed her reputation as a commanding presence on the red carpet.

Eva Longoria, the youngest of four daughters born to Mexican-American (Tejano) parents, stopped speaking Spanish as a child after being discouraged from using the language at school.

At the Los Angeles screening of Flamin’ Hot, Becky G embraced sultry minimalism in a black jersey dress with daring side cut-outs from Zuhair Murad’s Resort 2023 collection.

Standing beside her, fellow petite Mexican star Eva Longoria delivered high-octane glamour in multiple standout ensembles throughout the promotional tour—including a black, backless lace gown from Roberto Cavalli’s Fall 2023 line for the Hollywood premiere.

Longoria stands at approximately 5 feet ½ inch (153.7 cm), while Becky G is even more petite at around 4 feet 11 ½ inches (151.1 cm).

Longoria didn’t become fluent in Spanish until her 30s, even returning to school to study the language. By 2013, she had earned a Master’s Degree in Chicano Studies from California State University.

Now a mother, she often shares how her young son Santiago playfully corrects her Spanish with dramatic flair.

A longtime red-carpet regular on Your Next Shoes, Eva Longoria has dazzled for years in a fantastic collection of heels that cement her status as a style icon.

One standout example came a few years earlier, when she attended the Global Gift Foundation Dinner in Miami.

Not only do the two share ethnic roots, but they also seemingly share a common life objective: to uplift people. The two supported the Global Gift Foundation, a non-profit organization that empowers women and children.

Oh, did we mention that the two arrived at the event on behalf of their own separate non-profit namesake organizations? Now we understand the concept of spiritual twins.
