The 44-year-old “Desperate Housewives” alum arrived on the famed Promenade de la Croisette for the premiere of “The Dead Don’t Die” wearing a show-stopping custom one-shoulder pink gown by Alberta Ferretti. The L’Oréal spokeswoman paired the gown with metallic Gianvitto Rossi shoes, and opted to keep her makeup simple with a natural, rose gold coloured lip.
Longoria’s elegant gown featured metallic detailing and a thigh-high slit that showed off her toned legs. Although Longoria looked in tip-top shape, the star has been open about the struggle to get back in shape after giving birth.
“I haven’t drunk wine. I haven’t eaten sugar. I haven’t seen a carb in a while,” Longoria told Us Weekly at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards on May 1. “But once I get to Cannes and finish the red carpet, then I’ll be indulging a lot.”

Longoria’s trainer, Grant Roberts, has been putting her through her paces, and focusing on weight lifting for the past six months to help her shed the baby weight.
The naturally petite actress has often joked with reporters about “eating air” to help her get back into shape, but insists her motivation to get healthy comes from a good place.
“It’s honestly just being committed to a goal,” she said. “I wanted to get back in shape for my son. It’s hard! It’s a lot of work with children. I’m exhausted. But just to stay in shape and be the healthiest me I can for him.”
