Eva Longoria, shows off her toned legs and pert in a sultry singlet and backside-baring gown for Haute Living shoot

The 42 year-old American brain and beauty actress Eva Longoria sizzles in this month's Haute Living, where she got real about the pressure working women face while sporting a number of sexy looks in her spread.

The former daytime darling Eva Longoria, who balances a life as as an actress, director, bombshell, wife and friend, radiated sex appeal as she switched between a backside-baring gown, sultry singlet and white sweater wore san-pants in the spread.

Eva, who wed Mexican businessman Jose Antonio Bastion in May of last year, proved she was much more than a pretty face in HL's Fall issue.

In the editorial, the actress/filmmaker sizzles in a sultry singlet and backside-baring gown while getting real about the pressure working women face and how she pushes through in her chat with the mag.

The Texas native got real about the value of female friends, how things sparked between her and her media mogul man, and how she nurtures her inner confidence in the interview.

The Texas native balked at the idea that women have to choose between work, love and family.

'It’s a myth that you can’t have it all,' Eva explained bluntly.

'When I was younger, I got some great advice: you can have it all- just maybe not all at the same time.'

She continued, 'That doesn’t mean you should stop trying to balance everything and strive to be the best you can be everyday.'

The multi-hyphenate filmmaker also shared how nowadays her confidence stems from knowledge much, much more than the opinions of others.

Choice words: The 42-year-old dismissed the idea that women 'can’t have it all' by sharing sage advice she got as a younger woman - 'You can have it all- just maybe not all at the same time'

'I feel very, very confident in the things that I know,' Eva explained, 'I know how to direct; I direct really well. I know how to act; I know how to produce.

She continued: 'When I feel confident it’s because I’m well-researched, I am resourceful, I am prepared.

'I’m at my most powerful when I’m prepared to do something, whether it’s acting, directing, my charity work, speaking or doing a photo shoot.”

The power player also talked about her famous role as Gabriella Solis on the ABC dramedy Desperate Housewives.

Though she solidified her star on the show, the master's degree holding diva told fans not to hold their breath for any sort of series reunion.

'Everybody always asks me if we’re doing a remake,' said the starlet, 'I always say no because [creator Marc Cherry] says no, and only because we did... 24 episodes a year for ten years [180, to be exact].

One of Eva's next projects is the star-studded All-Star Weekend directed by Jamie Foxx.

The Latin lovely couldn't help but gush about the Academy Award winner during the chat.

'He’s an amazing human being. I mean, he’s not even a friend, he’s family. So when he asked me to do this, I was like, "Done,"' she explained.
