Why, what’s that peculiar yellow thing we see outside? Why reader, that’s sunshine, who we haven’t seen in so long that we're on the cusp of submitting a missing person’s report.

And when the rays start shining through, we start frantically looking for season-appropriate ensembles to add an extra spring to our step.

Enter actress Eva Longoria who was papped in New York City wearing a glorious top-to-toe red ensemble that we are dead keen to recreate this season.

 Eva Longoria is captured on a bustling city street at night. She wears a bold red coat draped over a matching long-sleeved dress. The floor-length gown hugs her figure, with sheer panels strategically placed along the sides. She carries a Playbill in one hand and a structured white handbag over her shoulder. Her red patent heels peek out from under the hem of her dress as she walks with a bright smile. The urban background is filled with people and illuminated by streetlights and car headlights, adding an energetic cityscape feel to the shot.© GC Images

The Hollywood icon and Desperate Housewives alumni combined a sleek, form-fitting silhouette dress with a perfectly matching full-length coat and skyscraper heels.

The actress (who recently celebrated a very exciting birthday) was papped outside the Buena Vista Social Club musical at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in NYC and it’s the red hot maxi dress with sheer panels that’s got us all hot under the collar.

 Longoria is closer to a theater entrance, waving gracefully to onlookers. Her coat is draped off her shoulders, revealing its black lining. The dress’s sheer detailing is more visible, showcasing its delicate interplay between fabric and skin. Her hair cascades in soft waves, and her poised expression highlights her effortless confidence. The background features a crowd, some of whom are in casual attire, contrasting with her strikingly glamorous look.© GC Images
Eva Longoria waves to fans in New York City

Glamorous enough for a night at the theatre, but in a fresh colour palette that screams spring, it’s the perfect transitional ensemble for those who need a sartorial boost. 

For beauty, Eva plumped for a classic grey smoky eye with big fat full lashes and a slick of nude lipstick. For her manicure, she opted for gold tips, very classy.

Spring is a time for renewal. As the days finally get a little longer and the temperature starts slowly sneaking up the thermometer, bright and bold colours make their triumphant return to the fashion spotlight.

Red oozes confidence, passion and energy, the trifecta of good vibes for the season ahead. And while it might not be warm enough to shed outerwear altogether, Eva’s perfectly matching coat is practical but doesn’t tone down the outfit’s vibrancy one iota. 

The entire look is a lesson in layering for the new season. Top marks all around.
