Eva Longoria Closes Cannes With One More Sky-high Platform Sandal

Eva Longoria closed the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in another sky-high platform sandal, wearing a metallic silver iteration of Santoni’s Wide Strap Platform Sandal to the closing ceremony Saturday night.

Her Santoni pair featured a thick band across the toes, a lifted platform sole and a slim stiletto heel that appeared to fall in the 4-to-5 inches range. Two buckled straps wrapped the ankle and connected at the heel, while the platform, toe strap and ankle straps all had a metallic, almost hammered textured finish. A vibrant orange outer sole helped the metallic sandals pop.

The actress and producer wore the metallic silver sandals with an Elie Saab spring 2026 couture gown. The strapless dress included a thigh-high slit, allowing Longoria to put her Santoni sandals on display, along with a shimmering gold and silver patterned train. She completed the look with Garatti jewelry. The “Flamin’ Hot” director was styled by Maeve Reilly, who worked with Longoria on several Cannes looks.

Longoria’s closing ceremony sandals were part of a clear Cannes platform pattern. One day earlier, she wore René Caovilla’s Anastasia satin sandals with a white Tamara Ralph couture gown for the “Histoires de la nuit” screening. Earlier in the week, she also put Flor de Maria’s Berta platform sandals on repeat, wearing the black satin pair with a Cong Tri gown at the Global Gift Gala after pairing the same silhouette with a Sergio Hudson dress.

The 2026 Cannes Film Festival ran from May 12 to May 23, officially coming to a close on Saturday night. Park Chan-wook served as jury president, with Demi Moore and Ruth Negga among the jury members. Cristian Mungiu’s culture war drama “Fjord” took home the Palme d’Or.
