The star of popular TV series “Desperate Housewives” posed for a new photo shoot for men’s magazine “Maxim.” The photo shoot took place on a sunny beach and featured Eva in a bikini that emphasized her sexuality.

The actress has already become a sex symbol thanks to her role in the series and earlier this week received a crown of Pussycat Doll in Las Vegas night club Caesar Palace.

Right before the photo session, the whole cast of “Desperate Housewives” turned down the offer to pose naked for Playboy as the leading star Hatcher found the offer inappropriate: "I looked at it seriously but it's inappropriate. It's just an opportunity to see celebrities without their clothes."

Yet sex appeal is not the only thing that comes to mind speaking of Eva Longoria – she also has signed a 2-million dollar contract with the cosmetic giant L’Oreal and will become a new face of the firm this month.
