The charity gala held this Friday evening at the Hôtel de Paris was designed to raise funds for three organizations—Fight Aids Monaco, Corazones Unidos, and Global Gift—all amidst a glamorous atmosphere heightened by the presence of the former *Desperate Housewives* star.

Winter, spring, summer, or autumn—in Monaco, there is no wrong season to roll out the red carpet in support of a good cause.

On Friday evening, the red carpet was laid out for a star: Eva Longoria, who brought her Global Gift Gala to the Principality for the second consecutive year.
