Eva Longoria's plunging sequin dress is taking 'naked dressing' to all new heights
The month of May will forever be one of the busiest times of the year for the fashion set, with both the Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival landing within just weeks of each other.
Officially kicking off on May 13th, the world's most stylish moguls and famed faces have descended on the French Riviera resort town, bringing their multitude of suitcases packed to the brim with glamorous gowns with them.
Included on the guest list, alongside Bella Hadid, who was seen arriving at her hotel on Monday sporting a bold new hair transformation, is everyone's favourite former Desperate Housewives star, Eva Longoria.
Spotted in the lobby of Hotel Martinez, Victoria Beckham's best friend oozed elegant femme fatale in a nude-toned, fully sequinned plunging midi dress. The figure-hugging ensemble from Turkish brand, The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel, was so shimmery that it gave the illusion it was made from luxe latex.
To add an extra layer of film festival flair, the 50-year-old scooped her long brunette locks into a beachy wave half-up-half-down style, while her makeup remained glowy and sunkissed with a pop of red lipstick.
Eva's daring dress is surprisingly controversial for the event, as officials from the festival recently made a statement about what is and isn't allowed at this year's event.
On the newly updated website, the dress code now reads: 'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival. Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre are not permitted. The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.'
The new rules are said to have stylists for the event in a flurry, given that the past few years notable names have leaned into fashion's beloved 'naked dress' trend, Bella Hadid baring all in a sheer brown Saint Laurent just last year.
Despite the event cracking down on rules, the next week and a half will see an abundance of shop-stopping looks, though none of them will be see-through, nor have big trains.

Beyonce rides into town for London leg of Cowboy Carter tour
Denim chaps and hot pants aren't most people's go-to outfit for standing outside on a drizzly June day in London but Beyonce fans with tickets to her Cowboy Carter tour joked they were enjoying their very own "rain-aissance". Referencing the singer's 7th studio album, for Wilfy - originally from - the weather wasn't going to dampen his spirits. "We came to rock and this time I'm going to see her 5 times, so on Saturday I'll be back. It's - this is a rain-aissance!" Her album Cowboy Carter may be responsible for the plethora of country-themed outfits, but this is not the star's first rodeo in terms of touring. As an artist who's been making music for over 25 years, this time around her 31 international shows are reportedly projected to make around £240m. For established artists, with their income from touring often surpassing revenue from streaming or sales nowadays, the price point of tickets can be a tricky line to tread - just ask . Figuring out how best to cover the costs of the massive touring infrastructure involved, make a profit whilst at the same time ensuring fans don't feel ripped off isn't easy to get right. From giant trucks to a mechanical bull, Beyonce fans are promised plenty of bang for their buck and at almost three hours long, it is her longest show yet. "I love this country album, it's so good," said Emily from . "I feel like it's going to be an amazing show." Enon from explained he'd taken a five-hour flight and spent a day ripping and sewing his cowboy-inspired tasselled denim crop top because "Beyonce is one of a kind, she changed my life, she made me who I am, and this is our little Met Gala". While there is quite a bit of pressure on the global superstar to deliver the goods, one man who knows more than most about how that feels is her dad, Dr Mathew Knowles, who was her manager for many years. "It takes a lot to be a good manager," he says, thoughtfully reflecting on that time, "but it takes even more to be a great one." From Destiny's Child up until 2011, he worked alongside his daughter for some of her biggest hits. "I'm one of the best managers ever," he says in all seriousness. While he has a ticket to see her perform in London, he is already in town to teach students at the London College of Contemporary Music where Sky News caught up with him. Read more from Sky News: Here also to help find a new talent deserving of a music scholarship in his name. The candidate, he explained, has to be "a student who's shown this real capacity, commitment and passion for the music industry". A stickler for young talent putting the practice in, he says: "Some artists aren't ready to tour… from a creative standpoint and a performance standpoint [you need to] put in 10,000 hours." When her UK tour tickets went on sale, fans reported prices seemed to stay static, suggesting "dynamic pricing" wasn't used to cash in on demand. On , Dr Knowles said: "I had to learn the value as a manager of understanding where each and every ticket goes. "You know, it's sad that often the artist gets the black eye when in fact the manager should be more involved…sometimes the artist doesn't even know about it until they hear these complaints." Of course, you'll hear few complaints from those with a ticket to see Beyonce on the UK leg of her world tour. Music-wise Milton from says he is confident his idol will "bring everyone together". But, he said, he wasn't so sure about whether he'd need carrying out afterwards. "When I see her I may die - a heart attack at a Beyonce concert? It would be worth it. What a way to go."

Williams' inbox: Bad look for Joe Burrow to miss Cincinnati Bengals practice for Met Gala?
Ask columnist Jason Williams anything − sports or non-sports – and he'll pick some of your questions and comments from his inbox and respond on Email: jwilliams@ Subject: Joe Burrow misses Cincinnati Bengals practice for Met Gala Message: Call me old school, but I didn't like that (Joe) Burrow missed the team's practice to be at the Met Gala. I get it's optional, but Tee (Higgins) and Ja'Marr (Chase) were there. Don't you think it would've sent a strong message to the fans and rookies for Burrow to be there, too? Advertisement Reply: It really wasn't a big deal. Burrow was back at Paycor Stadium for voluntary practice on Wednesday. Yeah, I understand it may have looked odd for a hard-working, team-first superstar like Burrow to miss practice for a New York City fashion show. Here in flyover country, we don't really like our sports heroes showing up on the red carpet. But it's early May and Burrow has certainly built up enough locker-room goodwill that no one inside the Bengals organization is questioning his priorities. He also gave the team a heads up that he would miss the first few voluntary team sessions. Burrow is expected to attend most of the practices over the next month. Now, if you want to question Burrow's fashion sense, have at it. Dude wears some ugly stuff, although I liked the classy suit he wore at the Met Gala. Advertisement And before the fake-name, costume-wearing Bengals fans take to social media and rip me, I'm joking. Burrow can wear whatever the heck he wants. It's not hurting me. Just like it didn't bother me one bit when he posed for a photo with Donald Trump last year. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 05: Joe Burrow attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City.
