Eva Longoria loves getting revenge on fashion designers who snubbed her.
The Desperate Housewives actress has revealed one top designer refused to dress her before she starred in the hit US show – but is now desperate for her to wear his clothes.

She said: “There is that one fashion designer who said, ‘We’re not dressing her,’ because he thought I was such a nobody. When he sends clothes for free now, I send them right back.”

The 31-year-old brunette admits she was frustrated after being rejected for several acting roles before getting her big break playing feisty housewife Gabrielle Solis.

She said in an interview with Playboy magazine: “I was turned down for the starring role in Dark Angel – which went to Jessica Alba. And I was snubbed for the lead in Spanglish. I auditioned to be one of the girls who escorted the wrestlers on Battle Dome and didn’t get it and I was fired from The Young and the Restless. But I’m not bitter at all.”
