The red-faced 11-year-old looked as if he wished mum would Posh off before one of his mates saw him.

Not that mother-of-three Victoria, 36, let it get to her. In her cream one-shoulder mini dress, she was a bit hit at the LG Fashion Touch party in West Hollywood – but with hubby David meeting our troops in Afghanistan, she went along with her Desperate Housewives pal Eva Longoria.

From floor-length beaded evening gowns to short funky minidresses, no trend is too extreme.

But she excelled herself today, in a daring black leather bandeau top worn under an asymmetrical black mini dress covered in beads.

The mini hugged her curves as the Desperate Housewives actress hit the French Riviera for a third day in a row.

Longoria joined fellow L’Oreal brand ambassador, Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai at the glitzy screening of French comedy Tournee.

Indian actress Rai, 36, looked stunning in a dramatic embroided Armani Prive gown.

Although attending without her husband Tony Parker, Longoria’s close friend Kate Beckinsale is also at Cannes this year in her role as juror.

Both Beckinsale and Longoria opted for long sweeping ballgowns as they attended the gala opening of the festival on Wednesday at the premiere of Robin Hood.

After the screening, they both changed into mini-dresses for the after-party at the Hotel Majestic on the Croisette.

Eva’s basketballer hubby, Tony Parker, was also able to make it to Miami for the festivities, which included brunch this morning.

And of course, all the stars have been tweeting about their party plans…

“Happy birthday @EvaLongoria Can’t wait for tonight!!!” Kim first wrote.

New Twitter member and birthday girl Eva added: “thank you everyone! beautiful day in miami with @tp9network, @lorenridinger, @kimkardashian, @robinantinpcd!”

And Tony Parker says we’ll see snaps from the soiree soon!

“Big party tonight for the birthday,” he tweets. “You’ll have pictures tomorrow…”

Let’s just hope her hubby doesn’t stay up too late tonight. He’s got a big game in Miami on Tuesday.

Eva wore the outfit to the opening of the new Gap 1969 jeans shop in West Hollywood. And perhaps unsurprisingly, her clothes came from the chain’s upcoming collection. Also at the star-studded launch were Gap fans Sarah Michelle Gellar, Debra Messing and Kate Beckinsale.

Desperate Housewives

“This is a big deal. It’s a heady accomplishment. It was time,” she told me at the party in her Beso restaurant and Eve the Nightclub on Saturday night. She was celebrating Eva Longoria Parker Day, as well, with her proud parents Ella and Enrique Longoria.

It was the 35th installation by the Latin Chamber of Commerce, and Eva was presented with the Distinguished Gold Award acknowledging her “outstanding entrepreneurial success.” Chairman of the Clark County Commission Rory Reid and Las Vegas Councilman Ricki Barlow each presented Eva with a proclamation on the red carpet to declare the day in her honor.

Eva ran down the accomplishments for me: “It’s the first time the award has been given, it’s the first time to a woman and the first time to the sole woman restaurant and nightclub owner on the Las Vegas Strip. It’s also the first time it’s awarded to a woman who now spends half her time here in Las Vegas and half her time in Hollywood. Now I’m a resident!

“It’s an amazing feeling to be recognized like this. It’s nice to be welcomed into the community this way as a businesswoman, recognized by my own community that I give back to so much and really proudly represent. When they told me I was the first female Latino on the Strip, I said that’s impossible. It must have been done before, but they said no, I was the first. I thought many other people had come before me, but to be recognized as the only Latin restaurateur in Las Vegas on the Strip is a heady accomplishment. It was time.”

With hair swept up in a tight back bun, Eva looked simply stunning in a gray leather Badgley Mischka dress and black YSL heels as she walked the red carpet outside her restaurant and nightclub in MGM CityCenter’s Crystals. Also attending were Nevada first lady Dawn Gibbons, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Chairman David Lizarraga, Nevada Sen. Steven Horsford, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, Clark County Commissioner Lawrence Weekly, Assemblyman William Horne, Latin Chamber of Commerce Chairman Luis Valera, LCC President and CEO Otto Merida and Aria President and COO William McBeath.

Photographer Denise Truscello captured the ceremony for our photo gallery as Eva was presented with the prestigious Premio de Oro — Distinguished Business Leadership Award honoring her commitment to expand opportunities for women- and minority-owned businesses. Eva told the group that it was an honor to receive the award and that she was proud to make a difference in the Las Vegas and Latin community, attributing much of her success to the female role models in her life — her mother, grandmother, aunts and three older sisters.

After the ceremony, Eva dined with her parents at her Beso steakhouse. Afterward, he returned upstairs to Eve, where she topped off the night with dancing, a surprise visit from showman Jeff Beacher’s Oompa Loompas and a cake and champagne toast in celebration of Eva Longoria Parker Day. Contributing photographer Erik Kabik was on duty for that portion of the evening, and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton dropped by to congratulate Eva on her achievements.

I asked Eva, who opened her restaurant and nightclub in December, to give me an assessment of her first 90 days. She told me: “Our first quarter looks like it will be an amazing year. Things are going great. I see the balance sheet every night via email. I look hard at those P&L statements. I am hands on — sometimes very controlling. So far I’ve been very pleased at how we are doing in CityCenter. I’m getting my feet really wet now in Las Vegas.

“I see, I sense that Las Vegas is coming out of its darkest economic problems. I really feel that especially here in the restaurant. I don’t know if it’s because we are recognizable as a brand, but we have had a steady, sure growth since we opened. Nothing has declined. We’re not in trouble in any way, so I’m really pleased with its performance.”

I said her parents must be particularly proud. “I think they’re here more to drink and gamble,” she joked. “They’re really proud of me, but they came to play.”

Eva told me that she has only four episodes left to film for Season 6 of Desperate Housewives.

“We’ve been picked up now through year nine, so we have three more years guaranteed. It’s great to have a steady job. I’m actually not thinking about next season because I don’t even have the script yet for what we’re shooting next week! But, you know, everything always goes wrong on Wisteria Lane, and that will keep happening with a healthy dose of sex and insanity. So next year, anybody, everybody could die. You can bet there will be more drama, more agony and more upheavals.”

She summed up her success as a businesswoman — and actress — for me: “If you are willing to take the risk, anything is possible.”

Eva is scheduled to appear on NBC’s new show “The Marriage Ref” this season. In the series celebrities judge the winner of domestic disputes between feuding couples. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld came up with the idea after asking a friend to settle a dispute between him and his wife of 10 years, Jessica.

Eva has been happily married to NBA basketball star Tony Parker since July 2007.

Decked out in a shimmering silver frock, the “Desperate Housewives” beauty was presented with the Distinguished Business Leadership Award at the annual fete.

As an entrepreneur and owner of two new and successful CityCenter ventures, Beso Steakhouse and Eve nightclub, Longoria also played host at the extravagant ceremony.

In addition, the city of Las Vegas and Clark county proudly declared February 20th as “Eva Longoria Parker Day.”

She said: “I am a big eater, but I do watch what I eat. I love to cook and just love Mexican food. It’s my weakness and any red meat, I just love it. So I’d say Mexican food is my secret indulgence. I also love New York pizza and I just love Indian cuisine — the spicier the better.”

The 34-year-old actress, who is married to her basketball player Tony Parker, owns Mexican eatery Beso in Hollywood and has another restaurant in Las Vegas.

Eva also revealed she doesn’t do a lot of exercise to retain her sexy trim physique. She added: “It’s mostly weight training or kick boxing. I have this amazing high for adrenaline. It agrees with me. Your body is a vehicle and you have to take care of that vehicle.”

The beautiful brunette looked cute as usual as she went over her lines and shot scenes for the hit ABC show.
