Eva Longoria [1] first got our attention as one of the sexiest housewives in television history. Since her breakout role on Desperate Housewives, the Latin beauty has earned a reputation in Hollywood for her work as a producer, SAG Award winner, and philanthropist. Now, you can find her turning heads as Maxim's newly crowned Woman of the Year [2]. And we're betting the Woman of 2014 is just getting started.

In honor of Eva's new title, we've handpicked a few of her finest red carpet moments from the past year. Now, this is what a woman of the year looks like.

At the 2013 LA Film Festival, the naturally gorgeous Eva was both polished and playful in a dressed-up romper and strappy nude platforms.

Eva wowed in a bold green gown backstage at the 2013 ALMA Awards.

For her foundation's dinner, the actress lit up the red carpet in a frilly, bright lace Elie Saab confection.

At Glamour's 15th anniversary party, Eva showed off her stems in a sheer white Emilio Pucci mini.

Eva most recently hit the red carpet in London in a sleek Victoria Beckham gown [3] at the Global Gift Gala.
