Eva Longoria, 45, stuns in red bikini tribute photo
It's been almost a decade since Desperate Housewives ended, but Eva Longoria has shown that her connection to her much-loved character Gabrielle Solis remains strong.
In a stunning bikini photo shared on Instagram, the 45-year-old paid tribute to her role in the hit series, which ran from 2004 to 2012.
"Even #20YearsLater, she still knew red was her colour #DesperateHousewives," she wrote in the tongue-in-cheek caption referencing the bright shade of her two-piece.

Fans of the show will know that she was referring to a line of speech famously used to describe her character in the comedy-drama.
Her post went down well with her followers, who left more than 345,000 'likes'.
Swimwear designer Melissa Odabash, who created her bikini, commented: "You are just perfection."
Beauty entrepreneur Huda Kattan wrote: "I can’t believe this is 20 years apart, how is it possible that you look even more beautiful now?"
Actresses Kerry Washington and Gabrielle Union also shared fire and heart emojis.
"Gabyyyyy! U look 🔥 mi amor!" another fan commented.
The actress – who has a two-year-old son Santiago with husband Jose Baston – starred alongside Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman in the hit series, set on fictional Wisteria Lane.
