Eva Longoria Goes for Comfortable, Clear-Strap Manolos for Ace Awards Red Carpet

Eva Longoria always looks glam for every occasion. Even at the beach, the actress managed to give chic a whole new meaning. Last night, in honor of the 21st annual Ace Awards held in New York City, she dressed up the little black dress in a completely unexpected way that might actually blow your mind.

She started her look off with a beautiful form fitting midi-LBD made by designer Georges Chakra. Longoria then kept things simple with a pulled back ponytail, light make-up, a white mani-pedi, and minimal accessories. Here came the twist, the star opted for a pair of Manolo Blahnik black sandals with a clear strap across the vamp that practically made her shoes look invisible. At first glance, it seemed as if she was simply tip-toeing across the red carpet.

The see-through shoes were certainly an eye-catching moment of the night and it continues to prove Longoria’s unique sense of style. What makes the heels even better is how easy they are to walk in. “I’m into the lower heel,” Longoria told Footwear News at the awards ceremony. “I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older, but this 3.5″ is really so comfortable. I last the night in it.”

As the seasons change, we’ll be keeping an eye out to see what else she’ll do to switch things up in her wardrobe. She actually mentioned to us that she just cleaned out her closet, so expect different styles from her. “Right now I’m into single sole shoes,” she said. “I had a sh*t load of platforms and I was like, ‘When did I have this many platforms, geez?’ But remember that was the big thing when YSL came out with the pump and then it was Brian Atwood.”
