Glamorous images from the first Global Gift Gala in Monaco, with Eva Longoria as Honorary President

This Saturday evening, October 4th, in the luxurious Salle Empire at the Hôtel de Paris, the Global Gift Foundation held its first gala in the Principality of Monaco, in the presence of the American actress and director and Princess Stéphanie.

Four days after dazzling Paris Fashion Week, walking alongside Jane Fonda and Kendall Jenner for L'Oréal, Eva Longoria caused a sensation on the red carpet rolled out in the lobby of the Hôtel de Paris for the first Global Gift Foundation gala in Monaco.

Wearing her honorary president's hat, the American director and actress, who rose to fame for her role as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives, posed alongside prestigious guests, including Princess Stéphanie and several members of the royal family (Louis and Marie Ducruet, Camille Gottlieb, and Alexandre Grimaldi).

"The gala is present in nine or ten countries, and we really wanted to hold the gala in Monaco. This community is so generous and glamorous. It's truly the perfect night to raise funds," she told Monaco-Matin. "With Casa Angeles, we help children receive therapies they can't afford or that aren't available in their own countries. We also support an orphanage in Vietnam. With tonight's donations, we hope to help 2,000 children."
