She was earlier in the day looking like a dream in cream.
But after promoting some potato chips in her neutral outfit, Eva Longoria emerged in some eye-popping colour.
The 37-year-old looked elegant, showing off her incredible figure in an emerald draped dress as she braved the rain in New York.

The diminutive star paired the ensemble with a pair of nude-coloured stappy sandals.

The TV star was accompanied by several members of her entourage, who dutifully held an umbrella over her head to protect her from the rainy conditions.
Earlier in the day, Eva again put her fashionable foot forward to promote a contest to create a new flavour of Lay's potato chips.
Wearing a white silk romper, a white tuxedo-style blazer and a pair of strappy sandals, she posed with a variety of crisps at the Lays pop-up store in Manhattan's Times Square.

The actress was helping to launch a contest to create a new flavour for the Lay's brand at the pop-up store where consumers can sample up to 20 existing flavors of potato chips.
'To me, the best part about the contest is that you don't have to be a foodie, chef or flavor expert to enter,' explained Longoria. 'You just have to trust your taste buds.'
In addition to acting, Longoria is also author of the cookbook Eva's Kitchen and the owner of Beso, a Latin style Steakhouse with outposts in Hollywood and Las Vegas.
Downpour: Earlier in the day, Eva again embraced the rain with a smile
Newly single Longoria is currently producing a reality show Ready for Love, which sees a team of professionals pair people with their perfect partners.
Eva felt inspired to work on the TV show because she enjoys bringing different people together.
'I'm a pretty good matchmaker, I love pairing people up, even if it's not romantic.'
'I am like, "You guys would be great friends," or "You guys would be great business partners," or "You guys should get to know each other." I try to connect a lot of people,' she said.

Eva Longoria was the epitome of glamour as the host of the ALMA Awards earlier this week.

Eva has apparently lined up four different projects and will produce two of the diverse ventures, according to Variety.

Travelling through airport security some passengers are subjected to a security pat down.
But as Eva Longoria and beau Eduardo Cruz were making their way through L.A.X. it wasn't just airport staff that were being hands-on.
The petite actress, 36, and her boyfriend couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they made their way through the terminal to board their flight.
As they arrived at the airport Eduardo, 25, played the perfect gentleman offering to carry some of her things.
They held hands as they walked through check-in and as they queued for security couldn't resist a quick cuddle.
Eduardo, Penelope Cruz's younger brother, placed his arm around Eva’s shoulders as she wrapped hers around his waist.

But despite her casual dress Eva, who was also wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses still looked glam with her gorgeous brown locks tumbling around her shoulders.

Just two weeks ago the pair enjoyed a romantic break in Miami where the Desperate Housewives star mixed work into her holiday.

Eva Longoria and Megan Fox both paid visits to their respective beauty salons today in Beverly Hills.
But when it came to being picture perfect, it was only Eva who was ready for her close up.
The 36-year-old Desperate Housewives star clearly takes her pampering regime very seriously, stepping out in a casual but stylish ensemble of jeans, a white shirt and killer pink heels.

But she was clearly in no mood to be pictured, keeping her eyes firmly to the ground.
Eva, though, was only too happy to pose for the waiting paparazzi.
After three hours of pampering - which she hardly needed - Eva headed out to the shops - probably to stock up on more supplies for her wardrobe.

Kiss kiss: Eva Longoria and her boyfriend Eduardo Cruz share a lingering kiss as they queue at a check-in desk at L.A.X. yesterday
She and new boyfriend Eduardo Cruz enjoyed a romantic break to Mexico just last month but the lovebirds couldn’t resist heading off for another mini-break together yesterday.
The couple were spotted at L.A.X. airport as they boarded a flight for Miami and the Desperate Housewives star hadn’t just brought her man along for the trip she was also carrying her creature comforts too.
The tiny actress, 36, was seen carrying a travel pillow as she made her way through the airport to ensure her flight was as comfortable as could be.
Eva and Eduardo, who have been dating since February, appeared in an amorous mood ahead of their air travel.
The pair were seen sharing a number of lingering kisses together as they dropped off their luggage at the at the check in desk.
Eva, who has undertaken a promotional tour for her new cookbook Eva’s Kitchen of late, was dressed in a pair of pale teal trousers, a long-sleeved white blouse and wrapped up with a large cappuccino-coloured pashmina.

Eduardo,26, who is Penelope Cruz’s younger brother, was dressed in a pair of jeans, a grey striped T-shirt and a olive green baseball cap.
'Things are getting very serious between Eva and Eduardo,' a source tells America's People magazine. 'They're really happy.'
It's us honest: Eva and Eduardo were happy to oblige with security staff and the actress-turned chef flashed the guard her stunning smile
And she has made no secret of her desire to start a family, a feeling which might have been heightened after organising her close friend Victoria Beckham’s baby shower over the weekend.
'[I want to] have kids and be a mom,' she said while promoting her book Eva's Kitchen on the Rachael Ray Show earlier this month.
Eva split from her husband of four years, Tony Parker, in November amid allegations he had been unfaithful.
While she was heartbroken over the divorce, she insists she wishes the basketballer well.
'So many people want me to hate him and destroy him, but I don't want to,' she has said. 'I want him to be happy. He's not a bad person.'
'I do believe in forgiving and forgetting. There was a reason we were together. I just want to hold on to the good times.'
Minimalist: Eva Longoria looked elegant in a strapless black dress at the museum opening in Los Angeles
She may have experienced a wardrobe malfunction earlier in the week when her jacket popped open on David Letterman’s chat show, but last night Eva Longoria made sure her dress fitted like a glove.
The actress wore a well-fitting black strapless LBD while attending the opening party for an LA museum that recognises Mexican-American’s contribution to Southern Californian culture.
It was a far more modest look for the 36-year-old than the micro shorts and gaping jacket that she wore on Letterman’s show while promoting her new cookbook.
But despite her elegant ensemble at the the Inaugural Gala of La Plaza De Cultura Y Artes in Los Angeles yesterday, the museum opening still sparked controversy.
As glamorous stars such as Eva paid between $1,000 and $100,000 to attend, demonstrators stood outside protesting over the treatment of human remains found during the facility’s construction.
Native American protesters gathered with drums outside the gala following a statement that accused Los Angeles County officials of allowing the desecration of a historic cemetery where hundreds of people are believe to be buried.
A secretary for the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians said tribe members had pleaded with museum and county officials to delay the opening until an agreement could be reached on the restoration of the cemetery.
Modest outfit: Eva made sure she didn't experience another wardrobe malfunction by wearing the skin-tight dress
But museum representative Manuael Valencia said in an email that the celebration went well.
He said: ‘Everyone is celebrating the opening of LA Plaza. There have been no disruptions.’
Mexican American actress Longoria was also busy with another book signing at South Coast Plaza before last night's event.
After promoting Eva’s Kitchen: Cooking With Love For Family & Friends, she wrote on her Twitter page: ‘Thank you Orange County and everyone at South Coast Plaza! Most successful book signing yet!’
Earlier in the week she was discussing her cookbook on David Letterman’s Late Show when her jacket button popped open, almost exposing her chest.
The wardrobe mishap led to over four million views on YouTube.

Welling up: Eva Longoria became tearful as she spoke for the first time about her divorce from Tony Parker
Eva Longoria was reduced to tears last night as she talked publicly for the first time about her failed marriage to Tony Parker.
The Desperate Housewives actress and basketball player Parker's divorce was finalised in January - bringing to an end their four year marriage.
Speaking on the Piers Morgan Tonight show the 36-year-old said she wished the sportsman nothing but the best in life.
Tears and Piers: Eva was chatting to Piers Morgan on his U.S. show on the CNN network
But she conceded it had been a humiliating experience, especially as it has been played out so publicly.
Eva and Tony split in November last year amid allegations he had been unfaithful with the now ex-wife of his teammate Brent Barry, Erin.
Longoria didn't comment specifically on these claims during her hour-long chat with Morgan.
However, she did admit: 'So many people want me to hate him and destroy him, but I don't want to. I want him to be happy. He's not a bad person.
'I do believe in forgiving and forgetting. There was a reason we were together. I just want to hold on to the good times.'
She confessed the split was 'heartbreaking' saying one of the hardest things was trying to discover her new identity after the break-up.

'I had such an identity in being Mrs Parker and when that's taken away from you it's hard.'
As Piers probed her on the matter, she became tearful and immediately started to apologise, saying: 'This is the first time I've spoken about this [publicly].'
Asked if she had any regrets, she said: 'I do not regret getting married nor do I regret getting divorced.'
Eva has since been romantically linked to the brother of Penelope Cruz, Eduardo, who she was first spotted with in December, just weeks after her split from Parker was announced.
Elsewhere during the interview, Eva revealed she was keen to continue with Desperate Housewives for 'as long as it keeps going'.
And she also talked lovingly of her family and friends and how she has been inspired by her sister Lisa, 43, who is mentally disabled.

It was her sister's condition, which Eva described as in the same spectrum as Down Syndrome, that encouraged her to set up the charity Eva's Heroes, which supports people living with the disability.
'She lives a very vivid life,' said Eva of her sibling, describing how she lives life to the full.
'She's doing well - she's 43 and when you constantly stimulate people they progress, when you stop they regress.
'Lisa thinks she's the star. We go to events together and she does autographs.'
The actress is currently studying for a masters in Chicano (Mexican studies) and political science, saying she had got to a stage in her life where she has a 'thirst' to learn more.
Legs on show: Seen here earlier in the week arriving at the David Letterman Show in New York
Whoops! Eva Longoria's jacket button pops open while she's chatting to David Letterman on his Late Show
Even David Letterman asked where she was going when Eva Longoria walked onto his chat show set in a barely-there tuxedo, which ended up popping open.
‘That’s only part of a tuxedo’, the talk show host joked when the star arrived in hot pants and a low-cut jacket without anything underneath.
And she left Letterman almost speechless when the 36-year-old’s jacket button popped open, almost revealing her modesty.
Embarrassed: Eva grabbed her chest and then giggled after the wardrobe malfunction
She first shrieked ‘Oh my button!’ and then quickly covered her chest before turning to Letterman and saying: ‘I’m sorry… but you didn’t see anything.’
Letterman, 63, then joked: ‘Oh lord, we’re going to lose our liquor licence.'
But Eva wasn’t in New York City just to wow viewers with her killer legs and flawless figure, she was actually promoting her new cookbook.
Gasp! At least Eva saw the funny side of the incident as she was promoting her cookbook Eva's Kitchen: Cooking With Love For Family & Friends
The Desperate Housewives actress was talking about her book, titled Eva’s Kitchen: Cooking With Love For Family & Friends.
‘I could fillet a fish before I was seven,’ she boasted as she chatted to Letterman about her favourite dishes and culinary skills.
‘Yes, I cook. Half [of the recipes] are from my family, I grew up eating Mexican food and then American food, so there’s a mixture in the book.’
When asked what she loves to cook the most, she said: ‘Tortilla soup and I make really good guacamole.
‘You have to have good avocados [to make guacamole] and I put in onion, cilantro, and lemon and salt – but don’t add garlic or mayonnaise!’
After playing Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives for the past seven years, Longoria also revealed that they are planning at least another two years on the show.
‘We’ve almost finished negotiating so we’ll be coming back with season eight and nine hopefully soon’, she said.
After filming her slot on the Late Show, the star wrote on her Twitter page: ‘Watch me tonight on Letterman at 11:35pm/10:30pm c! I am so excited.’

Eager to promote her book, friends of Eva have been tweeting about the book.
Her friend Victoria Beckham sent a Twitpic of Eva today and wrote: 'I can't cook, but my friend can! Now even I can learn xvb'.
Kim Kardashian went one step further and tweeted a picture of her holding Eva's book.

Later in the day she changed outfits and went for another simple ensemble of a black fitted mini dress and purple peep-toe shoes.
She arrived for another television appearance - this time at the Late Show with Letterman.
But it appears Eva's food enterprise is not going as well as she hoped and matters have reached boiling point.
Going dark for late night: Eva later changed into a black dress for her appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman
Records filed last week show that Eva's restaurant Beso LL lost about $137,000 in February since filing for bankruptcy on January 6.
A hearing has been set this month to try to resolve matters.
Another issue that Eva has apparently resolved recently is the laser removal of her tattoo that commemorated her wedding to ex-husband Tony Parker.
The roman numerals tattoo showing the date 07/07/07 appears to have been taken off of her wrist going by recent pictures of her hand.
Kitchen delightful: Eva looked stunning during her promotional blitz in the Big Apple
Her new boyfriend Eduardo Cruz, 25, who Eva has been dating since January has shown his love for his girlfriend with a new tattoo. He's had 'Eva' enscribed on his arm alongside the tattoo of a ship.
The couple appear to be smitten, and spent her birthday last month together at Disneyland, where they kissed and cuddled as they waited to go on the rides.
Longoria and her ex-husband Parker split suddenly in November amid allegations that San Antonio Spurs stars Parker had cheated on her with his team mate's wife. They divorced earlier this year.
