Looking at the Emmy Awards red carpet tonight, one might think that it was mid-summer with all the bright colors ruling the red carpet. Canary yellow took center stage with Saffron Burrow’s Herve Leroux gown, Mariska Hargitay’s Carolina Herrera and Teri Hatcher’s Monique Lhuillier. Shades of aqua and turquoise made a great showing, too, from Christina Applegate to Cynthia Nixon to Mary Louise Parker. And, of course, there were plenty of black and navy gowns on Hayden Panettiere, Debra Messing and America Ferrera. Eva Longoria and fellow Desperate Housewives Dana Delany and Felicity Huffman made a dazzling case for silver accents. And for beauty, retro waves ruled from Kyra Sedgwick to Sandra Oh, and bold red lips turned up on Kate Walsh and more. Click here to see all of the fashion and beauty coverage from the Emmy Awards.

The new hair cut, the slightly fuller figure. Eva Longoria Parker is citing her Desperate Housewives character needs as the reason for her new look. According to her personal rep, Eva is reflecting a change in her on-screen character Gabrielle — who goes from her usual sex kitten to an over-worked housewife with kids in season five. “She’s making herself look like that as her character has let herself go. Gabrielle has gained weight and cut her hair,” Liza Anderson tells PEOPLE of Longoria Parker’s character. “She’s a worn out mother with two kids.” Longoria Parker was pictured on a European vacation — notably on a yacht off the coast of Italty — looking minutely larger than normal, prompting the usual rounds of pregnancy rumors. Anderson chalked this slight gain to Gabrielle’s woes. “And even that was not enough. She’s also wearing butt pads and a stomach pad to play the part.” And did Longoria Parker enjoy the method-eating? “This is a lot of fun,” says Anderson, “but as an actress.”

Following in the fashionable footsteps of her friends Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes, Eva Longoria has chopped her hair into a shoulder length bob just in time for the dog days of summer. Not only is a bob easier, as Hayden Panettiere told us of her chin-length do, but it’s a great way to shake up a look. And since it’s Hollywood, there’s always extensions if she gets bored!Tell us: What do you think of Eva Longoria’s new look? Love it? Hate it?
