The desperate housewives star stuns fans with sultry birthday photos as she parties with a-list friends.

Eva Longoria is proving that age is just a number as she marked her 50th birthday in jaw-dropping style. The Desperate Housewives actress celebrated the milestone by slipping into a sheer shawl and sharing a sultry snap with her 10 million Instagram followers.

Posting the daring image online, Eva captioned it simply: “So this is 50.” The stunning photo quickly sent fans into a frenzy, with many marvelling at how she still radiates the same timeless beauty that made her a global sensation in 2004 when she starred as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives.

Despite her reputation as a Hollywood bombshell, Eva has revealed that she never felt particularly beautiful while growing up. Speaking on US morning show Today, she opened up about how she always saw herself differently compared to her sisters.

“My three sisters look alike. They are all blonde. I knew I wasn’t the pretty one, so I thought, ‘OK, I’m going to be the funny one. I’m going to be the smart one.’”

Her 50th birthday was nothing short of extravagant, with a glamorous celebration in Miami, attended by some of the biggest names in entertainment. The star-studded guest list included actress Jessica Alba, singer Marc Anthony, and tennis champion Novak Djokovic.

Sharing her gratitude for the outpouring of love, Eva posted online: “I felt so loved! Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday.”

In an interview with Marie Claire, Eva reflected on turning 50 with a refreshingly positive mindset, refusing to let age define her success.

“For me, age is just a number. I refuse to believe my greatest success is behind me.”

As she steps into this new decade, Eva Longoria continues to prove that confidence, beauty, and ambition only get better with time
