With Eva Longoria Baston less than a month away from giving birth, it was high time to celebrate with a baby shower. And celebrate in style the former Desperate Housewives star has.

The 43-year-old mum-to-be, who is believed to be due later this month, threw an elaborate pyjama-party-style brunch at Hollywood’s Lombardi House. Among friends who attended were Elizabeth Banks, Sophia Bush, Marisa Tomei and Melanie Griffith, and the 43-year-old Texan beauty spared no detail, ensuring the venue was decorated with balloons and teddy bears and Baby Baston-themed everything. While the rosé flowed, guests were treated to hair-braiding and massages; a Bloody Mary bar was also set up.

Texan-born Eva, who has happily revealed that she’s discovered the joys of wearing leggings since becoming pregnant, has made it abundantly clear she absolutely can’t wait to meet her little guy.

“I just can’t wait to see what his personality is like, what he looks like, how much hair he’s going to have,” she says. “There’s so much to look forward to, and it’s becoming more real every day.”

Eva married her baby daddy Jose ‘Pepe’ Baston this time two years ago.

Here, we round up the best happy snaps of Eva’s baby shower of the hour, starting with…

Every detail of the shower was cuteness itself!

Not only were guests treated to hair-braiding and massages, but sources say the rose was “flowing”. And if guests didn’t like rosé, they could’ve always swung by Eva’s custom-made Bloody Mary bar.

“So thankful for such a beautiful baby shower, definitely felt the love,” says Eva.

“Happy to be surrounded by these beauties! @elizabethbanks is toasting my belly and my sweet friend @marisatomei is always spreading love and light! What a special day for #BabyBaston and his mommy!”

“What a beautiful day with all of my girls! Thank you for your constant guidance and support! I love y’all so much!”
