See Eva Longoria’s bedazzled cutout dress in Cannes

Eva Longoria, the unofficial queen of Cannes, is back and ready to reclaim her crown.

For the third year in a row, the actress left us speechless with a revolving door of dazzling red carpet gowns, from her hip-high slit gown at the 2022 amfAR Gala to this year’s super-plunging beaded gown. But last night Emilie Pérez first, she topped them all with a look that sealed her best-dressed status once and for all.

Arriving at the Palais des Festivals, Longoria hit the red carpet in a breathtaking teal dress by Tony Ward Couture that featured dazzling details, multiple cutouts and a sky-high slit on the leg. On top, the dress’s sweetheart neckline was highlighted by a pair of crystal-encrusted straps and pearl branches protruding from her shoulder. Below the bust, an upside-down V-shaped cutout exposed Longoria’s midriff, while the dress’s skirt included a thigh-high slit accented with sparkling fringe.

The actress-turned-director let the dress speak for itself and accessorized it minimally, adding only a pair of sky-high silver wedge heels and drop diamond earrings. She pulled her dark brown hair back into a ponytail with wavy pieces in the front, before finishing off her glam with silver eyeshadow and nude lip gloss.

In keeping with the festival’s glitzy dress code, Longoria also wore a buttery yellow backless dress that essentially looked like a glittering disco ball hours before she arrived on the red carpet. Her sunny yellow midi was almost entirely covered in large mirrored sequins and white pearls and featured a sheer overlay at the neck that gave the illusion that the bodice was supported by just a trio of tiny straps.
