Eva Longoria, 51, almost spills out of very low-cut gown at Eddie Murphy tribute as she models one single glove

Eva Longoria’s dress nearly revealed too much at Eddie Murphy‘s celebration in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

The actress, known for her role in Desperate Housewives, appeared slim and elegant in a black velvet and chiffon gown by Cong Tri, which she wore without a bra.

The 51-year-old paired the dress with only one matching sheer glove featuring floral detailing.

Michael Jackson is most recognized for his signature fashion statement: a single white glove, covered in rhinestones, which he began wearing on his left hand in 1983.

Longoria completed her look with a diamond necklace and earrings, working with stylist Maeve Reilly and hair stylist Ken Paves.

At the event, the star of “Searching For France” took pictures with Arsenio Hall, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, and producers Cris Abrego and Byron Allen.

Also at the event were Bill Burr, Kevin Hart, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Kenan Thompson.

The Eddie Murphy AFI tribute will premiere as a special on Netflix on May 31.

Eddie Murphy quickly rose to fame, starting as a popular teenage comedian, then becoming a star on Saturday Night Live, and eventually achieving success as a leading actor in hit movies like Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, The Nutty Professor, and the Shrek films.

Big photos showcasing key moments from his career covered the stage, highlighting his work in comedy, TV, and movies.

Lee, who presented the award to Eddie Murphy, praised him for bringing joy to the country. She explained that she used her camera to share stories about how to improve the nation, and that both she and Murphy worked to advance culture. She added that throughout his career, Eddie has always remained authentic.

Comedians highlighted Eddie Murphy’s lasting impact on comedy. Chris Rock put it simply, saying, ‘We wouldn’t be here without him.’

Actor Lawrence, known for his role in ‘Life with Murphy,’ recently shared a story about how Murphy once turned down his request for a photo. Interestingly, their children are now married – they tied the knot in 2025, so things are much different now!

‘Now I can get all the pictures I want,’ Lawrence said with a smile. ‘Because we’re in-laws.’

Arsenio Hall, a frequent partner of Eddie Murphy’s, especially in ‘Coming to America,’ shared that Murphy really championed him during the film and praised his considerable skills.

‘When Eddie does a family film, he plays a whole damn family,’ Hall said.

Dave Chappelle remembered learning comedy by watching Eddie Murphy’s ‘Raw’ when he was younger. He considers Murphy a hugely influential comedian and recently visited him, where seeing Murphy’s grandchildren gave him a new appreciation for the comedian’s life and legacy.

Chappelle described watching the comedian every day after school as if he were a student in a class. He also mentioned considering bringing back ‘Chappelle’s Show’ – a project he previously stopped working on – and called it one of the most important experiences of his career.

Chappelle mentioned that Murphy suggested he reconsider the project, and even playfully offered to participate if it moved forward.

‘You are still the hero I want to be,’ he said.

Stevie Wonder felt Eddie Murphy’s influence went far beyond just making people laugh, and he greatly admired the actor and comedian.

According to Wonder, laughter helps us get through life. He describes Eddie as not just a funny person, but someone who connects with everyone.

Mike Myers, a fellow star of the Shrek movies, praised Eddie Murphy for his iconic performance as Donkey, calling it a defining element of the character and a true ‘masterpiece’.

Jennifer Hudson honored the film Dreamgirls with a musical performance, accompanied by a live band directed by Rickey Minor.

Oh my gosh, the AFI Gala was absolutely incredible! They raised over $2.5 million for their amazing educational programs, which is just… wow. But the best part? They gave the Franklin J. Schaffner Alumni Medal to Autumn Durald Arkapaw, the cinematographer! She gave this beautiful speech about how AFI helped her really find her artistic voice, and honestly, it was so inspiring. I’ve been following her work forever, and to hear her talk about her journey… it just made me love her even more! I’m still buzzing about it.

Eddie Murphy has enjoyed a remarkable career for almost 50 years, successfully moving between stand-up comedy and major movies. He’s remained popular with audiences of all ages thanks to his ability to do so much. In 2023, he received a lifetime achievement award, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, at the Golden Globes, and has recently shared how much he values looking back on everything he’s accomplished.

Murphy expressed their gratitude, saying, ‘Thank you for a night I’ll never forget.’ They finished with a heartfelt, ‘I love you.’
