Eva Longoria, 50, sizzles in tiny string bikini while soaking up the sun in Spain... after sharing her top 3 diet tips
The Desperate Housewives actress showed off her toned form while on the beach in Marbella, Spain on Sunday with her husband José Antonio Bastón and son Santiago.
The 50-year-old, who has been seen on her CNN docuseries Eva Longoria: Searching For Spain, had on a bright orange string bikini that left little to the imagination.
The Texas native added a white cap, black sunglasses and dainty yellow gold jewelry as she flashed a fresh pale pink manicure.
Eva displayed her toned frame and signature curves while basking in the Mediterranean sun in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, a place she has called home for the past year.
This comes after the mother-of-one shared her top three diet hacks last year.
Longoria's three diet tips are intermittent fasting, clean eating, and moderation.
She follows a 16:8 fasting window (eating between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.) and focuses on protein, leafy greens, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates
She also avoids processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, particularly during the early postpartum stage.
She generally eats within an eight-hour window, typically between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., according to Women's Health.
She prioritizes whole, unprocessed foods like lean protein (chicken, fish, eggs), leafy greens, healthy fats (avocados, olive oil), and complex carbohydrates (quinoa, brown rice).
The workout enthusiast cuts out processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, especially after pregnancy, and incorporates protein into every meal and snack. She uses healthy fats like avocado in her meals and chooses complex carbs like quinoa and brown rice over refined grains.
The cover girl believes in moderation and avoids restrictive diets, according to Celebwell, but generally gravitates towards healthy options. Eva emphasizes staying hydrated, says Prevention, which is a crucial part of any healthy lifestyle.
Snacking includes almonds, yogurt, and fruit.

Eva's travel docuseries Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain continues to perform strongly for CNN.
After the success of Searching for Mexico, the Spanish edition led to yet another installment—this time taking the actress to France.
'France has long been a cornerstone of global cuisine, and I'm thrilled to be partnering with CNN for this next chapter in our culinary and cultural journey,' Longoria said in a statement, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
In May Longoria said she always thought she'd become a success in Hollywood.
The versatile actress has enjoyed a hugely successful career, starring in shows such as Only Murders in the Building, and Eva has now revealed that she never doubted her own talent.
The actress told Byrdie: 'When I look at the longevity I've had in this industry, it makes sense to me. 'Of course, I'm going to work as hard as I can at whatever I do, and it just happens to be in this industry. I knew I'd be successful because I was surrounded by successful women - my mother, sisters, and aunts were independent, strong, smart, and charitable.

She also avoids processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, particularly during the early postpartum stage.
'They were everything I wanted to be.'
Eva's self-belief has helped her to navigate the pitfalls of Hollywood. She explained: 'I remember the first time I was on a billboard and somebody said to me, "Oh my god, who would have thought?"
'And I said, "Me. I thought it. I dreamt it." If you don't champion yourself, who else is going to? That unwavering belief in yourself will take you so far.'
Despite this, Eva admits that her priorities have changed in recent years.
The brunette beauty shared: 'When you're young, you should say yes to every opportunity, so you can decide what you want to do in life.
'Now that I'm 50, I'm prioritizing differently,' explained the close friend of ER star George Clooney.
'I'm curating my life to be very specific to what I want the next 50 years to look like. I'm spending more time with my family, working less, and doing more of what I love.
'Being financially secure helps with those decisions, but I feel I've worked hard enough to say 'no' now.' Eva has also confessed to becoming more health-conscious in recent years.
The actress said: 'I don't mind ageing. I just want to age well. I'm grateful to be able to move my body and work out, hike up a mountain, and play with my son. I'm trying to be as mobile as possible for as long as possible.'

Jeff Bezos matches wife Lauren Sanchez's gold necklaces as he debuts flashy look while in Ibiza with Leonardo DiCaprio
It appears as if Lauren Sanchez has taken the wheel when it comes to new husband Jeff Bezos ' sartorial side. On Tuesday the Amazon founder was flashing several gold pendant necklaces as his pale beige shirt was worn opened just enough to highlight the bling. Gold-rimmed brown tinted sunglasses added even more razzle dazzle to the home shopping executive. He looked more Miami Beach than Silicon Valley with a splash of the Italian Riviera thrown in for good measure. The billionaire also had on his gold wedding ring which went nicely with his gunmetal gray beaded bracelets. His wife Sanchez also had on two gold necklaces as she added Jenny From The Block style gold hoop necklaces and gold rimmed brown sunglasses. Bezos paired his collared shirt with dark beige slacks and matching mandals that were perfect for the summer day. Sanchez was stylish in a brown bra top that left little to the imagination with a long woven skirt that had two pockets in front. The TV personality added a wide-brimmed woven straw bolero hat in a pale butter color. The diva from New Mexico added a generous brown leather purse from her shoulder. They were are spotted leaving a restaurant in Ibiza, Spain before heading to their mega luxury yacht. Just a day after bravely teetering over rocky terrain in sky-high stilettos, Lauren kicked off her shoes and went barefoot on the beach. The couple were joined by friends, including the Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio and girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti along with the former Vogue Editor in Chief Edward Enninful around the Mediterranean. Sanchez goes way back with DiCaprio as the Oscar-winning actor is also pals with Sanchez's ex, mega-agent Patrick Whitesell. Leo's stunning model love interest Vittoria took a thrill seeking late afternoon jet ski ride. The billionaire also had on his gold wedding ring which went nicely with his gunmetal gray beaded bracelets His wife Sanchez also had on two gold necklaces as she added Jenny From The Block style gold hoop necklaces and gold rimmed brown sunglasses This comes after claims that Bezos didn't make any of the VIPs at his wedding sign gagging contracts. The Amazon founder billionaire, 61, and his partner Sanchez, 55, exchanged vows at the end of June during a weekend of celebrations held at a private venue in Venice. And one of the couple's guests, 44-year-old actress and podcast host Sara Foster, has now spoken candidly about attending the lavish ceremony. Sara, who is the daughter of music producer David Foster, revealed behind-the-scenes details of the three-day celebration in Italy during an episode of The World's First Podcast, which she co-hosts with her sister Erin Foster. She said: 'No one signed NDAs. No NDAs.' Jeff and Lauren's wedding, which took place on 27 June, brought together a guest list of more than 200 people, including some of the world's most high-profile names. Sara added the event felt far more intimate than the public had been led to believe. She said: 'There's nothing – it's so interesting how the optics were this over the top, you know, protesters… it's just not, it's not what it was. 'It actually felt very intimate.' They were are spotted leaving a restaurant in Ibiza, Spain before heading to their mega luxury yacht The ceremony, reported to have cost around $50 million, attracted global media attention and saw the presence of celebrities such as Mick Jagger, 80, Oprah Winfrey, 70, Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, Sydney Sweeney, 26, Jerry Seinfeld, 70, Orlando Bloom, 47, Jessica Alba, 43, Bill Gates, 68, Brooks Nader, 27, and Ivanka Trump, 42. Members of the Kardashian-Jenner family were also in attendance, including Kim Kardashian, 43, Khloé Kardashian, 40, Kendall Jenner, 28, Kylie Jenner, 27, and Kris Jenner, 68. Sara addressed the criticism she received online after sharing photos from the wedding on Instagram. 'Here's the problem. You can't say anything anymore without being attacked,' she said. Sara added: 'I swear to God, it never occurred to me once that anybody would take issue with people attending a wedding. Truly. It really didn't. It didn't.' She also hinted at the discretion of some attendees. Sara went on: 'There were definitely a lot of people that were not photographed. 'I can't. I mean, that's, like, so lame. I'm not gonna do that. But it's very interesting how many people went un-photographed. It was definitely a very interesting setup.'

Leggy Kate Moss uses £35K Birkin as a beach bag while joining bikini-clad daughter Lila and pal Jaime Winstone as they soak up the sun during lavish Ibiza getaway
Kate Moss chose to use A £35,000 Birkin as a beach bag amid her lavish Ibiza getaway with lookalike daughter Lila and pal Jaime Winstone on Wednesday. The supermodel, 51, was spotted toting the pricey accessory, which was left open and covered in sand, as she strolled along the beach. Kate put on a very leggy display in a white kaftan which she wore with a pair of skimpy gold bikini bottoms after enjoying a trip on a yacht which also saw them joined by Lila's boyfriend Yoni Helbitz. Shielding her eyes behind chic shades the completed the stylish ensemble with dazzling diamond bracelets and a huge cocktail ring. Meanwhile Lila, 22, showcased her jaw-dropping figure in a tiny black bikini as she topped up tan during her time on the water. The stunner looked nothing short of sensational in the skimpy swimwear as she larked about on deck while her beau swam in the water. Lila, 21, looked nothing short of incredible as she slipped into a tiny black bikini The supermodel was spotting toting the pricey accessory, which was left open and covered in sand, as she strolled along the beach following her yacht trip Lila and Yoni have been dating for nearly two years, with Daily Mail revealing in 2023 that they were an item after being spotted out in London frequently together. One on dry land the group later headed for a spot of retail therapy at a small store on the beach. Last month, Lila and Kate enjoyed a fun girls' trip on the island, and was also seen channelling her mother's iconic style. Lila's father is Dazed Media chief executive Jefferson Hack, with whom Kate was in a relationship in the early Noughties. The model has never been shy of stealing from her mum's wardrobe. From ballet pumps and waistcoats to biker jackets and transparent slip dresses, she has recreated almost every iconic Kate Moss look there is. 'I copy her outfits consistently,' Lila admitted in a magazine interview in 2023. '[Although] I steal mostly her bags. I can't steal her shoes, which is devastating. She's a size six. I'm a size five.' Kate and Lila have spoken candidly in the past about their unconventional relationship, with Kate telling Vogue in 2023: 'There were still rules in our house – always say please and thank you; never go out with wet hair or you'll catch a cold – even if I wasn't that strict. Now that she's 21, Lila's the one setting rules for me. 'Wear SPF50; quit smoking… Although she did give me this cigarette case as a gift recently that I just love... She's flown the nest now, and got her own place in downtown New York, but she's still so young in my mind... 'I feel like I'd already lived quite a few lives by Lila's age. I'd gone abroad. I'd had one serious boyfriend – and moved on to the next. In a lot of ways, though, Lila is so much more grown-up than I was in my 20s... While on board Kate looked words away from the runway as she protected herself from the scorching sun under a kooky straw hat and scarf Kate put on a very leggy display in a white kaftan which she wore with a pair of skimpy gold bikini bottoms The original Birkin bag sold last month for a whopping £7million Meanwhile Lila showcased her jaw-dropping figure in the skimpy swimmer while enjoying a trip on a yacht with pals Lila larked about on deck while boyfriend Yoni Helbitz swam in the water Lila and Yoni have been dating for nearly two years, with Daily Mail revealing in 2023 that they were an item after being spotted out in London frequently together She wore her long blonde hair loose as she enjoyed the lavish getaway The couple appeared to put on a flirty display as they relaxed at the back of the boat Kate took in the stunning views on her stroll The stunning model followed her mother's effortless style and wore a silk slip dress One on dry land the group later headed for a spot of retail therapy at a small store on the beach (L-R) Kate and Jaime picture 'Watching her establishing her career as a model takes me right back to the '90s when I was just starting out, but I know that things will be different for her.' 'She understands she can say no, for one thing, which I never did, and she has the right people around her – I've made sure of that. And let's face it, she's a lot more sensible than I was back then. I mean… thank God. Ha!' For last year's British Fashion Awards, she commissioned designer Nensi Dojaka to create a dress that was eerily reminiscent of her mother's infamous bias-cut Liza Bruce slip dress from 1993. While at New York Fashion Week, she stepped out in a near-identical Saint Laurent blazer and low-cut silk top Kate had worn two years before. Lila has been making moves in the fashion world and walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week for for Vivienne Westwood last year. It was a successful year for Lila after she fronted campaigns for the likes of Pepe Jeans - an international denim brand based on Portobello Road in Notting Hill - which happens to be the model's favourite hangout spot. Lila has never been shy of stealing from her mum's wardrobe and has recreated almost every iconic Kate Moss look there is She also starred in a campaign for the French brand Maje last year and is currently gracing the front rows of exclusive shows such as Yves Saint Laurent for Paris Fashion Week alongside her mother. After being signed to her mother's Kate Moss Agency when she was just 15, Lila became the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty in 2018. She went on to make her runway debut for the Italian fashion house Miu Miu in 2020, became an ambassador for YSL and made headlines when she walked the pink carpet for Victoria's Secret World Tour . The stunner has been hit with her fair share of nepotism accusations - the most recent being when she appeared in Edward Enninful's edition of Vogue called Legendary alongside the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Victoria Beckham. In 2021, when Lila was 19, she became the director of Grace Grove Ltd - the name of the company is a nod to The Grove, her family home in North London, which Kate sold in 2021.

How did a new take on War of the Worlds get a 0% critical rating?
Just over 20 years ago, Steven Spielberg released War of the Worlds, a remake of the HG Wells classic updated for then-modern day, capturing an era of post-9/11 anxiety filtered through the prism of late-90s disaster movies. That movie's reputation has only grown over the years – it's basically the thinking and anxious person's Independence Day – but the Wells text has been revisited repeatedly since its publication at the tail end of the 19th century. 2025 seems as good a time as any for another update. And if ever any viewers yearned to see a new War of the Worlds beset with the constant pinging of a Microsoft Teams chat, Prime Video has a real treat in store. Yes, hovering towards the top of Prime Video's movie charts is a new War of the Worlds, which arrived with little fanfare on the service at the end of July. In it, Ice Cube plays Will Radford, a Department of Homeland Security official who monitors an array of feeds for terrorist threats. Despite a belated heads-up from his Nasa pal Dr Sandra Salas (Eva Longoria), he (somewhat bafflingly) fails to pay much mind to a series of mysterious gathering storms, until it's too late: meteor strikes occur worldwide, and from the meteors emerge alien tripods that quickly lay waste to buildings and people everywhere. Will has been distracted by the hunt for a hacker called 'Disruptor', as well as by spying on his grown-ish kids Faith (Iman Benson), who is expecting her first child, and Dave (Henry Hunter Hall), a gamer Will thinks is wasting his life. In a novelty that turns into a hindrance almost immediately, most of this unfolds on Will's computer screen at his mostly empty office, where he's working what's described as a 'graveyard' shift despite it being, you know, daytime. Actually, it's more accurate to say that it unfolds near Will's computer screen. Unlike past 'screenlife' movies like Unfriended, War of the Worlds is not exactly rigorous about adhering to its self-imposed limitations. Though Will's face is often display on screen as part of various video calls (which is how Unfriended and others have worked actors' faces into a screen-only framework), the movie also flat-out cuts away to traditional shots of Will that are framed vaguely like a Zoom call but clearly take place outside of Will's computer. This makes sense. After all, when you've got an actor as expressive as Ice Cube, you want unmotivated closeups that can capture every single cocked-eyebrow scowl. How will the audience know how to feel if they can't see Ice Cube scowling at his computer screen? That's probably not fair to Cube, who has been quite good in plenty of other movies. The man has presence. What he does not have is the kind of subtlety or emotional range that benefits from de facto solo occupation of the screen. Really, every actor in War of the Worlds feels like they're performing in a Zoom-style vacuum – and seemingly not as a commentary on the coldly disconnected world of digital communication. In fact, quite the opposite: in this movie, everyone video-calls everyone all the time, to better show off some of the worst visual effects ever seen in a movie bearing the Universal Pictures logo out front. No amount of handheld phone-camera or grainy news footage can disguise how terrible the alien ships look. They wouldn't pass muster on a whimsical Snickers ad. So how did this happen? How did this D-grade reimagining of a public-domain property wind up going from major studio to major streaming service to the top of the charts? It should have been a fortuitous confluence of events. Film-maker Timur Bekmambetov remains high on the screenlife format, a variation on found footage, where stories are told entirely through activity on device screens. He's produced several successful film series based on that tech: the aforementioned horror film Unfriended and its sequel, and a pair of less bloody companion thrillers, Searching and Missing. All of these movies make innovative use of their central gimmick, and War of the Worlds came out as a pandemic-inspired variation. It was announced in the fall of 2020 as a spectacle-driven sci-fi movie that could nonetheless unfold in a series of contained environments, with actors all filming their parts separately. So the reason War of the Worlds feels not just like eavesdropping on a Zoom call but like a movie pieced together through Zoom is that it more or less was. More technology was involved, but that's barely clear from the final product, which has the rushed jankiness of something that should have come out a month or two after filming and been marketed as a quickie experiment. Instead, the movie seems to have sat on a shelf for literally years before it was sold off to a streaming service. Weirdly, it's not the only 2020-shot Universal-produced sci-fi movie to get that treatment: Long Distance, a space survival movie starring Anthony Ramos, recently debuted on Hulu despite filming wrapping before the end of 2020. Even a lengthy post-production would mean that it spent three years on the shelf, and couldn't even rate a release in the aftermath of the 2023 strikes. (Long Distance looks and acts more like a real movie compared with War of the Worlds. This is also true of many network TV shows and some big-budget ads.) The simplest answer to why the hell these movies have remained in limbo, then, seems to be Covid-era buyer's remorse. Studios were panicking about how to keep their pipelines moving during an unprecedented disruption, and didn't wind up having room on the release schedule for these smaller projects. The real question is how audiences have made it through an unconvincing cheapie like War of the Worlds – a sci-fi epic that seems to take place in real time yet features a vast and coordinated worldwide mobilization of multiple armed forces – without shutting it off in disgust (it boasts a rare 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes). Maybe they haven't. Streaming viewership is notoriously sketchy to measure, and most services rely on total minutes watched, which means watching five minutes of an awful movie and then flipping to something else can add to its total. War of the Worlds seems to have been made for its Covid-era convenience, and cynically capitalizes on surveillance paranoia and government secrets without actually saying anything coherent about, well, anything. But Amazon – which figures into the plot so embarrassingly that it seems like a plea for a Prime Video pick-up – stumbled upon the perfect streaming product: a cheap piece of junk with a recognizable title and stars, just enough for millions of people to hit play. Maybe some of them even watched through the end; the movie certainly doesn't compete with second-screen phone-scrolling, in the sense that your scroll is likely to eventually hit upon something vastly better than the movie's own toggling between chat windows. Amazon has plenty of experience helping consumers find junk, so War of the Worlds wound up in a fitting home – at least until Temu starts its own streaming service.
