Eva Longoria wore a $39 dress to the Cannes Film Festival, can you guess which one it is?

Eva Longoria wore a $39 dress on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

It looked pretty spectacular but she regrets making the move because some people shamed her for not modeling haute couture.

The star explained that at the time she ‘really didn’t understand the gravity of that red carpet’ 20 years ago when she was a newbie.

The Desperate Housewives star shared that she popped into a high street store in Los Angeles in 2005 to pick up a frock before the festival.

In an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper, Eva said: ‘The first time I went to the Cannes Film Festival sticks out [as a fashion regret].

‘I went to Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles and bought a $39 dress because I was told I needed a dress.

‘It looked amazing and people were like: “Who are you wearing?” I thought, why are they asking me that? It was this gold knit dress…’

Eva was an ambassador for beauty giant L’Oreal at the time and she admits her gold dress prompted their team to offer to get her a stylist for her next trip.

She added: ‘Even L’Oreal were like: ‘Maybe next time we style you.’ I really didn’t understand the gravity of that red carpet.’

In the interview, Eva explained she isn’t a fan of trends and prefers ‘classic styles and comfort’ – and she aspired to be able to dress like her close friend Victoria Beckham.

Eva added: ‘Victoria Beckham. She is my style icon. I aspire to be like her one day, and I never will.’

This comes after Longoria said she believes Laura Bush helped to put ‘Desperate Housewives’ ‘on the map’.

The actress played Gabrielle Solis on the hit TV drama between 2004 and 2012 – but Eva has claimed that Laura, the wife of former US President George W. Bush, played a pivotal role in the show’s success.
