Fifty and fabulous! Eva Longoria looks half her age at premiere of her family comedy

Eva Longoria put on a glamorous display while attending the premiere of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip on Wednesday.

The 50-year-old actress looked half her age in a strapless, crinkle gown in a olive green and taupe color paired with white platform heels and bouncy curls.

While attending the event at El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, she happened to be by the Hollywood Walk of Fame and posed for a pH๏τo, lying down on the ground, with her own star.

The Desperate Housewives alum — who enjoyed a dinner date with Jeff Bezos’ bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez in Beverly Hills on Tuesday evening — looked stunning while celebrating the upcoming release of her new family comedy, which is set to premiere on March 28.

She opted out of any jewelry besides a couple of rings for an understated look and to showcase her natural beauty.

The Flamin’ H๏τ director styled her chocolate brown hair in bouncy curls and waves, which she parted to the side.

For makeup, she opted for a soft, monochromatic brown look to highlight her features and accentuate her beauty.

She looked glamorous with full, fluttering eyelashes paired with peachy-pink blush and a glossy lip paired with a brown lipliner.  

Up next in her schedule, Longoria is anticipated to attend her longtime pal Lauren Sanchez’s nuptials to Amazon billionaire founder Jeff Bezos over the summer.

The day before the premiere, Longoria caught up with the journalist, 55, at E Baldi in Beverly Hills. The pair have been longtime friends for over two decades. 

Earlier this week, the brunette bombshell also opened up about her family dynamics while on a promo tour for her new movie. 

In an interview with Today, she said that she was often compared to her three sisters, adding that she ‘wasn’t the pretty one.’ 

On the daytime talk show, the Land of Women star, who is famed for her flawless looks, said that she often felt like the ‘ugly duckling’ in her family. 

She explained that she decided to focus on being the ‘funny’ and ‘smart’ one to compensate for what she felt like she lacked, and that was how she got into performing.

‘I was performative in my family because I was the ugly duckling,’ she said before cracking a joke. 

‘Documentation is available if you need it.’ The Only Murders in the Building actress added: ‘My three sisters look alike. They are all blonde. ‘I knew I wasn’t the pretty one and I was like, “Okay, I’m not the pretty one so I’m going to be the funny one. I’m going to be the smart one.”‘

Longoria also recalled how she grew up as the youngest of four sisters on a ranch with chickens in Texas. 

‘We had to go get the eggs in the morning. We had to milk the cow for the milk that was going to go in the coffee and in our cereal.’ 

When she got older, she attended Texas A&M and graduated with a degree in kinesiology, using scholarship money from a beauty pageant she had won to partly fund her studies. 

It was competing in beauty pageants that ended up leading her to Hollywood. ‘I land in Hollywood and I don’t know what happened. 

For makeup, she opted for a soft, monochromatic brown look to highlight her features and accentuate her beauty. She looked glamorous with full, fluttering eyelashes paired with peachy-pink blush and a glossy lip paired with a brown lipliner
