Eva Longoria reflects on her naked fashion from the early 2000s.
“Why why did I get stuck on showing my stomach on the red carpet??!” Longoria, 48, wrote alongside a series of throwback photos via Instagram on Thursday, January 18.
In the first photo – taken from the 2001 premiere of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider — Longoria left little to the imagination and went topless under a caramel-colored leather jacket. She wore the top open, exposing her abs and cleavage. Longoria paired the piece with matching patchwork pants and sandal heels. She wore a feather necklace and wore her hair down with a part in the middle. In the second photo, Longoria attended a Maxim event in a knitted bralette and a beige pencil skirt.
The final shot showed Longoria at Disneyland in 2004, wearing a pleated pink and green crop top paired with low-rise boot-cut jeans and a skinny fuchsia belt. She completed the look with leather sandals and dangling earrings.
Longoria's followers praised the slideshow, with one fan bellowing: “Sis, if I ever had a stomach like that, I would have showed up with two coconuts and a fig leaf.” Others compared her appearance to her Desperate housewives character, Gaby. 'It wasn't you! It was Gaby,” said a second social media user, while a third added: “This is so Gaby.”
Gaby was known for her flirty outfits, including vibrant mini dresses, ruffled skirts and plunging halter tops. Longoria portrayed Gaby throughout the series' eight seasons, from 2004 to 2012.
While Longoria's days of showing off her abs may be long gone, the actress still prefers ensembles that show off their figure.
Earlier this month, Longoria attended the Palm Springs International Film Festival in an embroidered nude dress that showed off her legs and butt. She also showed off skin in a sparkling green backless dress at the Governors Awards on Jan. 9.
