Scarlet woman: Eva Longoria shows off her new red hair colour while filming her new movie Without Men in California


Eva Longoria Parker looked a little less like her usual glamorous self on the set of her new film this week.

The Desperate Housewives actress sported a new red hair colour and went make up free on the set of Without Men in California.

Eva, 35, was a far cry from her usual immaculately turned out appearance, appearing slightly uncomfortable and frumpy in a lime green dress


Drab to fab: The actress is usually glammed up to the max, but has gone make up free for her new film role


Fans of the actress will be more familiar with the sight of Eva with her trademark brunette hair and generously applied make up.

However, her latest requires the actress to tone down her appearance.

Eva is filming an adaptation of James Canon's novel Tales From The Town Of Widows in which she stars as Rosalba viuda de Patiño alongside Christian Slater.

Without Men is based on Canon's international bestseller and is directed by Gabriela Tagliavini.

The story follows Longoria’s character as she leads a group of women in a remote Latin American village forced to fend for themselves after their men leave to fight in a civil war.

A battle of the sexes ensues when the men return to reclaim their power.

Last week, the actress was pictured walking around on the set of the new film in her underwear, seemingly without a care in the world.

Husband Tony Parker, who plays for basketball team the San Antonio Spurs, recently said he thinks his wife would make a great mother and that the couple are thinking about children.

Parker told UsMagazine.com: 'We're thinking about it. Pretty soon. She's got one more year with Desperate Housewives, so we'll see what happens.

Tony, 28, who celebrates the couple's third wedding anniversary in July, said he had no doubts about whether he'd make a good father, telling Us: 'I'd be great. I love kids.'

Asked whether Eva, the youngest of four girls, wanted a large family, he said: 'We'll see. It depends on her. I don't care (if it's a boy or a girl). I would love to have both.'

Meanwhile, actor John Barrowman has also been singing Eva's praises, but for an altogether different reason.


The camp star revealed that the Latino actress has a devilish sense of humour, and the two shared a few saucy secrets during their time on the set of Desperate Housewives - which Barrowman guest starred on.

He said: 'She's just naughty! She likes to have fun. On set we had a good laugh with each other. She might have groped me, I might have groped her and we might have discussed certain things. She's saucy, just like me!'

The actor - who is in a civil partnership with Scott Gill, 47 - admitted he was blown away by the actress's beauty.

He said: 'Eva really looks amazing on and off camera - even without make-up.'
