Eva Longoria brought her Flamin’ Hot style to the 96th Academy Awards.
The multi-hyphenate made her grand entrance tonight at Los Angeles’s Dolby Theatre looking utterly fabulous. Longoria’s ensemble consisted of a glorious inky-black Tamara Ralph gown with a timeless hourglass silhouette. The piece featured a trailing train that completely covered the actor’s black Stuart Weitzman pumps and a structured off-the-shoulder neckline that culminated in dramatic points on each side.
She elevated the look even more with a diamond-studded Bucherer wrap necklace (held together by a huge diamond in the center), a diamond ring that coiled around her index finger like a snake, and classic diamond stud earrings. Longoria glammed up with bronzy makeup, with a subtle smoky eye, fluttery eyelashes, soft blush, and a peachy lip, and styled her luscious brunette locks down behind her with a middle part.
Longoria’s directorial debut, Flamin’ Hot, is up for the Oscar for Music (Original Song), for Becky G’s “The Fire Inside” (music and lyrics by Diane Warren). Live performances of songs in this category are normally interspersed throughout the ceremony, so expect Becky G to put on a show—and to hear the other nominees: “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie, “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony, “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” from Killers of the Flower Moon, and “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie.
Longoria’s biographical comedy follows the story of Frito-Lay janitor Richard Montañez. The son of a Mexican immigrant, Montañez is credited with inventing Flamin’ Hot Cheetos—the spicy snack that disrupted the American food industry.
Longoria has had one eventful—and stylish—Oscars weekend. The Desperate Housewives alum kicked things off at the 17th Annual WIF Women Oscar Nominees Party on Friday, where she put a fun spin on a classic black suit. For the occasion, she dazzled in an inky-black blazer with glittery sequin-covered lapels, along with matching loose-fitting trousers that featured a wide glossy satin waistband. She added a sultry, feminine touch in the form of a plunging cream-colored corset top, and accented the look with black pumps, a gold clutch, a massive diamond ring, and diamond hoops earrings. Longoria finished everything off with a voluminous blowout and sultry, bronzy makeup, complete with a peachy lip, shimmery eye shadow, and fluttery eyelashes.
On Saturday, she stepped out at MPTF’s 22nd annual Night Before party, where she captivated in a slinky black gown that had long sleeves, a turtleneck, and a soaring thigh-high slit that culminated in ruching details and a bedazzled leaf decoration on her hip. She teamed the centerpiece with black pointed-toe pumps that featured a jewel-adorned strap, crystal drop earrings, and a wavy silver ring that coiled around her finger. This time, she wore her hair in a sophisticated updo and glammed up with dark smoky eye shadow.
