A matching silky belt was wrapped around the star's slender waist and gave some structure to the billowy dress.

Eva paired the classic look with nude heels, which delicately wrapped around her ankles. 

Carrying a small pink Chanel purse, the Desperate Housewives star held her iPhone and a pair of sunglasses as she walked through the city.

The beauty accentuated her striking looks with smokey make-up and wore her caramel locks in loose waves around her shoulders.

The actress also told her host about how she had to sew her own dress for Serena Williams' 1950s-themed baby shower in Miami, Florida, over the weekend.

She explained: 'Serena is really big on theme parties which is such a pain in the a**.'

'Actually if you look closely at my dress you'll see that I had to go to a Halloween shop in Miami Beach because this was in Florida, and there's pirates on my dress. 

'It's actually a pirate outfit because I couldn't find a '50′s outfit, but I sewed it to make it look like a '50′s outfit.'
