Actress, producer and director Eva Longoria wore a breathtaking golden gown when she attended the Cash & Rocket Gala in in aid of Global Gift Foundation at the iconic Casino de Madrid this week.
The Desperate Housewives star, 51, who is Honorary Chair and Ambassador of the Global Gift Foundation, led the gala alongside Spanish actress, philanthropist and founder of the Global Gift Foundation, María Bravo, soprano Angélica de la Riva, and Cash & Rocket's founder Julie Brangstrup.
Eva's stunning dress was by designer Marmar Halim, her coordinating heels by Alevi and her bag by Jimmy Choo, while her jewellery was by EFFY. The star wore her long, brunette locks in a glamorous down style, reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour
The evening was the culmination of the Cash & Rocket Spain Tour 2026.
During the tour, 50 women from different professional backgrounds travelled across the country for four days in red cars under the motto 'Let’s Drive the Change', increasing awareness of female solidarity and raising funds for the Global Gift Foundation, totalling £112,288. Elena Knezek and Jessica Davenport were crowned winners of the tour for raising the highest amount.
Eva, who lives in Spain with her husband José Bastón and their eight-year-old son Santiago Enrique Bastón, exclusively told HELLO!: "I love Madrid and to spend it with the ladies who had driven from Marbella to Madrid to raise money for the Global Gift Foundation was just fabulous. I stayed at The Four Seasons, which is my favourite spot, and the night before we had a fun dinner with friends including Maria, Nick, Leonor and of course Pepe [Eva's husband] too at Nota Blu."
The gala was co-hosted by international model and presenter Nieves Álvarez and British public relations expert and presenter Nick Ede.
Eva added: "These four days have shown what we can achieve when we unite our voices, our energy and our commitment to a common cause. Every woman who has been part of this tour has helped turn solidarity into a force capable of transforming lives."
Also in attendance at the gala were guests H.R.H. Princess Beatrice of Orléans and British model Jodie Kidd.
Julie Brangstrup of Cash & Rocket said: "I've driven all the way with my co-pilot Jodie Kidd and we have had so much fun on the way, and now to celebrate these incredible women and raise money for Eva, Maria and the Global Gift Foundation, I can't think of a better way to have ended this experience."
The Global Gift Foundation is an international charitable organisation whose aim is to improve the lives of children, women and families in vulnerable situations
