Coastal grandma meets 'The Holiday.'
Oh, to live in the world of Nancy Meyers—where Cameron Diaz looks immaculate after dragging a suitcase down a snowy path in stilettos and Diane Keaton’s cozy cream knits never seem to pill or stain. Now, Eva Longoria is taking inspiration from the iconic filmmaker’s signature aesthetic with her recent outfit.
The actress was recently spotted at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills wearing a chic monochromatic off-white look that could easily have been pulled straight from The Holiday or Something’s Gotta Give. Longoria wore a soft pale beige V-neck sweater tucked into a pair of cropped khaki pants. She added even more off-white tones to the look with a cream colored wool coat and a cream quilted Chanel handbag. Finally, she braved the chilly evening air with a pair of nude open-toed sandals.
Longoria has been reaching for her quietly luxury-coded pieces quite a lot lately. In October, Longoria traded in winter whites for autumnal caramels, stepping out in New York City in a coffee colored silk top paired with a deep brown midi skirt and brown suede boots. She also opted for a monochromatic black look that month, pairing a button up silk shirt with a form fitted midi skirt. Her latest all-beige look once again makes the case for simplistic, elevated basics. However, the actress leaned into festive holiday dressing during the Red Sea International Film Festival 2024 in a metallic gold plunging dress.
During the opening night of the film festival, where she spoke about the importance helping women and people of color find success in the entertainment industry. “I really want to know how can I build pipeline of future talent so that when they go to the next job, they can say, ‘I just worked with Eva Longoria’, and somebody goes, ‘Oh, great, now I’ll hire you,'” she said. “It’s about helping build the resumés of all of these talented women and all of these talented people of color, specifically for me, Latinos.”
This came after the actress announced that she and her family—husband José Bastón and their 6-year-old son, Santiago—have been living out United States.
“I had my whole adult life here,” she told Marie Claire of her decision. “But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then COVID happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to shit on California—it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”
The family now split their time between Spain and Mexico.
