Eva Longoria was spotted walking in Beverly Hills on Thursday afternoon.
The 47-year-old star went makeup-free as she stepped out and grabbed a coffee while wearing a chic off-duty outfit.
The actress, who shared a throwback summer snap to her Instagram last month, is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming directorial debut, Flamin’ Hot.
Longoria wore an almost all-white outfit that included a buttoned jacket and a crew-neck sweater.
The Desperate Housewives star also wore loose-fitting sweatpants and a pair of trainers.

The performer’s gorgeous brunette hair fell to her shoulders and perfectly contrasted with the light tone of her clothes.
The development of Flamin’ Hot was unveiled to the public in 2018, and Longoria signed on as director the following year.
According to Deadline, the actor prevailed over several other filmmakers who had expressed interest in working on the project.
The film centers on the story of Richard Montanez, a former Frito-Lay factory janitor who claimed to have come up with the idea for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and convinced the company to change its marketing techniques.
However, the claim about his alleged idea was questioned in an article published by the Los Angeles Times in 2021.
Jesse Garcia has signed on to star in the film in May, and other cast members including Dennis Haysbert, Tony Shalboub and Matt Walsh will also star.
Physical production took place that year and filming finally wrapped in August.
Longoria spoke about Flamin’ Hot in a recent interview with People, where she noted that she’s happy to have an inspirational story to tell.

“You look at this guy and you’re like, ‘Oh wait, he did that. So that means I can do that.” That’s a hero. He’s not wearing a cape, but man, is this story powerful,” she said.
The actress also expressed that she jumped at the chance to make the transition from working in television to film.
“I think it was like I had so much to prove and I really took on that challenge in every way,” she said.
Longoria went on to say that she wanted to set an example for other people who want to pursue a career in filmmaking.
“I was nervous about the responsibility… and at the same time, the only reason I wanted to direct and produce was to give other women and people of color behind the camera a chance,” she explained.
Flamin’ Hot will premiere at the South by Southwest Festival on March 11 before releasing to the public on Hulu on June 9.
