Eva Longoria Parker covered the February 2009 issue of Glamour magazine wearing a simple white tank top and jeans—a very basic look, yet with her bouncy curls and heavily made-up face, the ensemble oozed femininity. As the gallery above shows, this is a popular look with many of Hollywood’s hottest leading ladies.
The aforementioned Glamour "Man Issue" includes tips on dating, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Eva Longoria Parker even dishes up some love secrets of her own, including what she looks for in a guy ("Intelligence, humor and passion.") She also shared her thoughts on soul mates (she believes they can come in any form, from lover to sister) and her views on the male heart. "I believe that men, when they fall, fall harder than women," Eva Longoria said in the interview.
While the rest of Eva Longoria’s photo features include more done-up 1950s feminine looks, it’s the cover shot we’re focusing on today. The gallery above includes a few other celebrities who show how to wear a wife tank. Check out the white tank look on Mischa Barton, Alyssa Milano, Gisele Bundchen, Kim Kardashian, Pink, Britney Spears, Aubrey O’Day, Tila Tequila and of course, Amy Winehouse (though we don’t suggest emulating her look.)
