Slimmed down Eva Longoria shows off her form in a slinky purple dress

Eva Longoria has dumped her frumpy Desperate Housewives image, and she wants everyone to know.

The Desperate Housewives star, who sparked pregnancy rumours after gaining weight for Gabrielle Solis's latest storyline, slipped into a skin-tight lavender dress for a visit to hairdresser Ken Paves in Los Angeles yesterday.

It's the second time in as many days the actress, who is once again back in amazing shape, has put her svelte physique on show.

A night earlier she looked gorgeous in a flirty little black dress as she arrived at her Hollywood restaurant Beso.

The new Desperate Housewives series, which is currently airing on Channel 4, picks up in the year 2013 when Eva's character has transformed from neighbourhood sex kitten to dowdy mother of two.
In real life, Eva was forced to fend off 'baby bump' rumours, regularly denying she's expecting a child of her own.

The 33-year-old said: 'I'm not pregnant. I stopped working out and gained about seven pounds over the summer, which is a lot for a small person.

However, she is hoping to start a family with husband Tony Parker sometime soon.

She has said: 'I can't wait!'.
