Victoria Beckham appeared not to approve of pal Eva Longoria’s revealing dress last night at a party for the “Desperate Housewives” star’s newly launched foundation.
The Spice Girl-turned-designer took a moment to cover up Longoria, a moment caught in a photos that Longoria then posted on her Twitter page. In the image, Beckham — who chose a high-collared blue dress from her collection for the event — sits beside Longoria. Beckham wraps her arms around her friend, blocking the camera from getting a view of Longoria’s chest. While Beckham gives a disapproving smirk to the camera, Longoria flashes a shy smile.

Longoria’s caption for the photo reads, “My beautiful girl @victoriabeckham supporting me.”
Longoria was a stunning hostess, with slicked back hair and simple earrings. Her black dress dipped nearly to her belly button, and revealed ample cleavage. The party, which was sponsored by Vanity Fair and Chrysler on behalf of The Eva Longoria Foundation, took place at Longoria’s restaurant, Beso, located in Hollywood.
In addition to Beckham, famous friends Kate Beckinsale, Mario Lopez, Felicity Huffman, and sisters Venus and Serena Williams also attended the fete. Longoria’s boyfriend, Eduardo Cruz — the younger brother of Penelope Cruz — also attended in a black hat and white shirt.
Longoria wrote an op-ed yesterday for The Huffington Post, explaining the intentions of her new foundation.
“I was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, just a few hours from the U.S.-Mexico border. My family has lived there for nine generations. As a Mexican-American growing up in a city with a large Hispanic community, my hybrid identity was not unique; many friends and classmates experienced a similar cultural mix. Growing up in this vibrant community left me with a strong desire to give back,” Longoria explained. “Our mission is to help Latinas build better futures for themselves and their families through education and entrepreneurship. We will support programs which help Latinas become college graduates. And we will provide Latinas with career training, mentorship, capital and opportunity.”
