London, Jan 10 : Eva Longoria was seen sporting a slinky and elegant floor-length gown to run errands and get her nails done at the salon.

Despite picking something from her wardrobe intended for a dressier affair, she created a casual approach by adding a long grey cardigan.

The Desperate Housewives actress chose to go braless in the summery number, initially tying the attached strings into a halter neck support knot.

However, later, Eva made a subtle alteration to her look, releasing the strings to create more revealing attire as the neckline sank an inch lower.

She also untied her hair from a ponytail, transforming her scruffy bed hair into a more sophisticated style as it hung loosely around her shoulders.

The 36-year-old completed the ensemble with a pair of flip-flops and black shades, which she placed on her head while tapping away on her mobile.

While she has always been trim, Longoria has revealed that she lost a lot of weight following the stress of her split from ex-husband Tony Parker.

"I remember after my divorce, I was so thin and everyone kept saying how great I looked," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling `Health' magazine.

"It was probably the most unhealthy place I've ever been. So it was funny what people would see as "healthy"

"In my worst time, people were saying I've never looked better. [But now] I have a great diet and exercise routine," she added.

The actress said that she battled her demons by not allowing them to `take over' before meeting Eduardo Cruz, 26, who she has been dating since February 2010. (ANI)
