They say that looking great is the best revenge – and Eva Longoria drove that point home at her 36th birthday bash at Eve Nightclub in Las Vegas on Friday, March 18th. The “Desperate Housewives” star, who is in the midst of a painful divorce from hubby (and San Antonio Spurs star) Tony Parker, arrived on the stylish pink carpet in a dress and heels that would make gals half her age jealous. Read on for event photos, and discover how to copy Eva’s sexy look for less!

Let’s start with Eva’s boudoir-inspired shoes. The petite star (she barely reaches 5’2”!) has never shied away from the highest heels – and often finds the fiercest pairs for appearances. Her birthday party was no exception to her fashion rule, and she opted for a pair of sexy, satin, sky-high Brian Atwood platforms. There’s nothing sexier than a high, nude pump, but Eva manages to turn up the heat with a pair made from lingerie-esque satin. We adore these shoes – and although they may not be office-appropriate – they are the perfect way to complete your next formal party ensemble. Fortunately, similar styles are popping up at every price point, so keep your eyes peeled for deals on your next shopping trip!

Only Eva could pull off her super risque Acra mini dress for her 36th birthday. The frock seems better suited for the bedroom, but the outspoken starlet makes it look fabulously chic for the occasion. In true Eva fashion, her dress fits like a glove and highlights her best assets. She even managed to incorporate two huge spring trends – lace detailing and a feminine nude hue – into her party look. If you’re interested in trying a similar trend, look for dresses and skirts with womanly detailing, but remember to cover a little more skin than Eva did for her soirée. Throw on a few pieces of sparkly statement jewelry (Eva’s gorgeous bracelet and eye-catching earrings here are from Neil Lane) and you’ll be ready to party in star style this spring and summer!
