Along with her post, she shared a boomerang of herself with Longoria and actress Kerry Washington dancing, as well as a few other snaps from the day.

There was even more love from Washington, who said she was thrilled to “celebrate a true star”.

“What a divine glory to witness you @evalongoria,” she added. “Felicidades hermana. I adore you. You are such an inspiration. Besos!!!!!!! Xo.”
