Don’t feel bad for her post-Desperate Housewives acting credits (or lack thereof), Eva Longoria is focused on the bigger picture.
Since the hit show tiredly crossed the finish line in 2012, she’s been channeling her inner Bree Van de Kamp.

Aside from being a burgeoning political activist, she’s also opened her own restaurant and founded a charity. The Eva Longoria Foundation aims to mentor and empower aspiring Latinas through education and entrepreneurship.
Eva Longoria and Mario Lopez have been friends for over 10 years and she’s the godmother of Mario’s daughter Gia Francesca Lopez
On November 5th, Eva and her foundation hosted its fourth annual gala dinner at Longoria’s Hollywood restaurant, Beso.
Mario Lopez and Courtney Mazza came out to show their support for Eva Longoria and her foundation at #DinnerWithEva in Hollywood on November 5, 2015
The guest list included Latino celebs as well as Eva’s friends and supporters, such as Mario Lopez and Zachary Levi. The wealthy 40-year-old actress reached out to her attendees with powerful words:
“It has been proven that if you help a woman, she leaves and helps her family. And when you improve the status of families, you improve communities. If you improve communities, you improve a nation – and that’s what we’re trying to do, one Latina at a time.”
#DinnerWithEva was a who’s who of Latino celebs including Roselyn Sanchez, Amaury Nolasco, Eva Longoria, Jose Moreno Brooks, Zachary Levi, Jencarlos Canela, Jadyn Douglas, Alex Meneses, and Izzy Diaz
For the occasion, Eva went for classic minimalism with a blinding white Ad Ponte knee-length midi turtleneck dress. On her feet were a pair of highly covetable pointy-toed Christian Louboutin “So Kate” pumps.
She topped it off with the best accessory to an all-white outfit: golden, tanned skin. A simple look but one that made Eva look every inch the savvy businesswoman.
“We help women of the Latino community because they are the pillars of our community” – Eva Longoria
You can find Eva’s fierce-looking heels in different versions at Mytheresa and Nordstrom.
