It's an annual event raising money for her charity, so there's no surprise Eva Longoria was the belle of the ball on Saturday night.
Having flown into London specially to host the annual Noble Gift Gala, the former Desperate Housewives star, 37, looked stunning in a floor-length peach gown.
The Texan actress had opted for a low-cut Alberta Ferretti gown, which she teamed with a loose updo and simple, understated earrings as she arrived on the red carpet at the ME Hotel in The Strand.
