Eva Longoria inspired by Marilyn Monroe

Eva Longoria says Marilyn Monroe is her ultimate style icon.

The former 'Desperate Housewives' actress is a huge fan of the late blonde beauty as she just oozed beauty and sex appeal.

She said: "Marilyn Monroe had that certain something. She never changed her look, and even after he death that blonde hair with the red lips is still glamorous and beautiful. But it's also what she exuded - she was electrifying and you couldn't wait to see what she did next and who she was with. She just had this essence about her that was beautiful."

Eva also spoke about how she maintains her stunning figure and admits she hates working out.

She said: "I hate working out. I hate cardio, I hate running, I hate the treadmill. I like weights, but the rest of it just has to be done. That's why I have a trainer - to make me do it. And I like to get out and about as much as possible, which is easier in Los Angeles, as the sun shines."
