Eva Longoria Talksto Yahoo Style About Dressing From ‘Work to Wine’ — and, of Course, What Her Favorite Wine Is

Everyone’s favorite housewife Eva Longoria was in New York launching her debut collection with The Limited, and we caught up with the petite actress about her favorite wine, her tricks on how to dress for her size, and her secret to always looking good.

Eva Longoria: I’m a big fan of this knit dress, and this comes in yellow and also comes in wine. This is our power knit — you can feel it; it’s really just delicious. I have a lot of dresses and tops with peplum and also belts because I like the waist to come in. I’m a jeans and blazer girl, so we have some great jeans. I like to call the line “from work to wine” because you can wear it to work and wear it out if you layer it! I wear all of this, and we also have some overlay pieces, some outerwear that you can wear over this in the office and take it off whenever you want to go out. The collection has a lot of graphic tees that have a lot of fun slogans on them like, “Wine a little”!

What’s with the wine slogan? And do you have a favorite wine?I’m pretty obsessed with wine. Wine love, more wine, wine goals. I’m getting better with wine; I am obsessed with California cabernet sauvignon, not just because I live in California, but there’s just an amazing boldness to them. But I’m recently been drinking super Tuscans, so I’m exploring that one now as well.

What’s the best advice you’ve been given on how to dress for your shape, because you’re so petite?Alter everything — it doesn’t cost a lot! Nothing off the rack can fit everybody, so a lot of the time I see a woman look at a dress and they try it it on and they say it’s too long and then they don’t buy it. But I tell them, no, no, you can hem it. And it’s, by the way, not very expensive at your local dry cleaners. It doesn’t cost a lot to alter your clothes. I alter everything because I’m so short.

Do you have any tricks or hacks you have picked up from shows or sets on dressing?I alter everything! I mean, I alter T-shirts! I alter the sleeve, the shape of it, the v-neck — a costume designer taught me that trick. I remember some celebrity doing it, and I remember reading it in a magazine and I was like, “Oh, that’s why she always looks so good!”
