Eva Longoria's Citizen K spread for the French fashion/lifestyle magazine's fall issue is raising a few eyebrows as the barely recognizable, petite Latino actress is shown sporting a black bob and glaringly white skin.
The edgy, goth-like editorial of Eva Longoria's Citizen K spread is substantially similar to Kim Kardashian's shoot for YRB magazine earlier this month.
Eva Longoria's Citizen K shoot features the actress in black, futuristic outfits and stiff poses.
Implications - Leave it up to stunning Eva Longoria to once again rock a fashion editorial. She has got to be one of the most dynamite Desperate Housewives, and would make any editorial instantly a huge sensation. Citizen K's transformation of this Hollywood icon helps Longoria to prove her versatility.
