Eva Longoria just gave thong sandals the quiet luxury treatment in Marbella.
The actress and producer attended the inauguration of a monolith honoring Maria Bravo at Casa Angeles on Wednesday, wearing a breezy geo-print dress and a pair of Hermès thong sandals that were anything but casual. The flat brown leather style featured the house’s signature palladium turnlock at the strap — a polished detail that gave the silhouette structure without taking away its ease.
Longoria’s sandals followed a classic T-strap layout, anchored by a narrow sole with a slightly burnished edge and low heel. The fit was minimal but purposeful, styled to play off the relaxed silhouette of her Misa Los Angeles midi dress. The dress itself featured a scoop neckline and allover green and white geometric print, with delicate straps and a semisheer flow.

While Longoria is no stranger to sky-high heels — she’s regularly spotted in platform sandals by Flor de Maria or strappy stilettos from Aquazzura — her Marbella look was a reminder that flat doesn’t have to mean basic. In fact, it’s part of a subtle shift: she’s worn Hermès flats before, but this season’s thong silhouettes are having a broader moment.
From Solange’s sold-out Maryam Nassir Zadeh Tupelos at Telfar’s New York City show to the fashion block party happening across Copenhagen this week, thong sandals are everywhere — and they’re evolving. Heeled, bubbled, square-toed, strapped or leathered out with metal accents like Longoria’s, the shape is proving its range. Even The Row’s Dune made the Lyst Index top 10 for Q2, while Rihanna’s Fenty x Puma jelly slide took the internet by storm twice in one summer.
Longoria’s Hermès sandals did what good accessories do: sharpened the silhouette without interrupting it. The hardware brought a bit of structure to the otherwise soft geometry of the dress, and the flat sole kept the whole look grounded — literally and stylistically.
