Eva Longoria Dazzles at 2025 Academy Museum Gala in Elie Saab Gown

Los Angeles, CA – Eva Longoria made a striking appearance at the 2025 Academy Museum Gala on October 18, just ten days after attending the London premiere of her friend Victoria Beckham‘s Netflix docuseries.

Longoria, who debuted a fresh, face-framing lob hairstyle at the gala, wore a stunning pink, fully-embroidered Elie Saab gown featuring a dramatic back train. She completed her look with a diamond necklace and bold smoky eye makeup.

At the London premiere on October 8, Longoria had her hair in a long center part, showing her supportive spirit for Beckham. Longoria appeared in the docuseries, which reminisces about their days as “WAGs”—wives and girlfriends of professional athletes. Longoria was married to basketball player Tony Parker from 2007 to 2011, while Beckham has been with former soccer star David Beckham since 1999.

Reflecting on their experiences as WAGs, Longoria shared a humorous take on the term: “I didn’t know what a ‘WAG’ was. I remember seeing in a press clipping that I was a WAG, and I was like, ‘What the fuck is that?’”

She highlighted the challenges they faced, saying, “There’s an assumption that goes with being a wife or a girlfriend is that you’re a gold digger.” She added that support often gets misunderstood, stating, “It was like, ‘Ugh, how can you have a job? Your job is to support your husband.’”

Longoria has often praised Beckham, calling her “funny, charming, and smart.” She referred to their close friendship, saying, “We are inseparable.” Longoria appreciates Beckham’s loyalty, saying, “There’s never a moment I can’t call her, or I’m raiding her closet.”

Longoria is known for her bold hair transformations. Recently, she teased a new look, saying, “Someone’s getting bangs,” on her Instagram. Additionally, she will appear in her upcoming film, Christmas Karma, where she sports a dramatic wig for a role.

While Longoria embraces her on-screen changes, she humorously revealed she is in “constant touch-up mode” due to having a “full head of gray hair.”
