¡Viva la wardrobe!

Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria-Parker hosted the National Council for La Raza's 2008 ALMA Awards last night in Pasadena, California, turning the celebration of Latino achievement into a showcase for her own expansive—and expensive—fashion sense.

Longoria-Parker made 10 wardrobe changes throughout the ceremony, transitioning from a teal shift dress to a red Grecian gown to a strapless blue dress, among others.

Along with special musical performances by Prince and Beyoncé (huh?), the ALMAs honored George Lopez with a Special Achievement in Television award and Los Lobos with Pioneer in Music accolades. Other honorees included High School Musical II director Kenny Ortega (who received moral support from HSM-ers Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale).

Puzzlingly, Chelsea Handler's hard-working sidekick Chuy Bravo failed to take home any trophies. Re-count! Re-count!

Quotables /
“Zac "Elfin Gay" Efron and Ashley "Have you seen my nose anywhere?" Tisdale made an appearance at the Alma Awards last night. They presented their High School Musical director Kenny Ortega with an award. Ashley looked lovely in a yellow dress, and Zac still looks like Ellen DeGeneres: The Early Years.”

“We love you and your "Ugly," Betty! America Ferrera took home the 2008 Entertainer of the Year award at the Alma Awards last night. Isn't she pretty? It's always cool when a curvy girl makes it out ahead of those skeletal slutbags in a hot monochromatic dress. Have a big sandwich on me, 'Rica!”

“I thought Jessica Alba didn't consider herself to be Latina? So what's she doing at the Alma Awards. Crankyboobs Alba accompanied designer Narciso Rodriguez to the show. So I guess she re-discovers her Latina heritage when there's a red carpet and cameras? Check.”

“Longoria first popped up on the red carpet with husband Tony Parker wearing a teal number, and then became costume chameleon.

That's a lot of rhinestones, Spanx, and tafetta!

She also had her hairstyle changed with each outfit. There must have been some sweaty hair queens running around backstage, trying to fulfill Eva's demands.

Did they just glue the weaves on and shove her ass out there?

This is nothing, though. Eva had 17 at last year's show. Madness!”

“Zac and Ashley were on-hand to present the special achievement award to Kenny Ortega.

Zac, 20, is looking to move forward after carving his initial niche in the acting world. "I want people to see that I have grown up and moved on. I know for sure — and I need a new start," said Zac.”

“Jessica Alba, the recent 27-year-old mom, showed off her post-pregnancy figure on the red carpet. The Fantastic Four star is looking forward to expanding her family, saying, "I'd like to have as many children as my body will allow, and I'd adopt if I still want more children after that!"”

“Ashley Tisdale. the 23-year-old High School Musical star kept it bright in a Bradley Bayou mini and Stuart Weitzman peep-toes. Tizz accessorized with vintage jewelry from Platt and a Stuart Weitzman clutch.”

“The 24-year-old Ugly Betty star took top honors at the ceremony, winning Chevy Entertainer of the Year for her on-screen work as Betty Suarez and her off-screen efforts to encourage young people to get involved in the political process.”
Just Jared
“Jessica Alba looked stunning while attending her first public appearance since giving birth to baby Honor Marie back in early June.

Stunning!!! I want her diet ASAP!!!”
“The 15-year-old Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez wore a Grecian-inspired one-shoulder gown by Marchesa.”
