Although in the past she confessed to having issues with posing naked, Eva Longoria has decided to pose provocatively for Elle en Español.

The cover of the December edition of the fashion and beauty magazine will be graced by the sensual actress and businesswoman, wearing nothing but thousands of Swarovski crystals.

According to the Elle website, the 38-year-old actress and producer confessed that despite her amazing body, the photo shoot was a challenge for her.

"I was very excited that they would seek me out for such a special number. My only fear was being so naked for the cover. I couldn't hide anything that caused me insecurities", said the actress in the interview for the December edition of the prestigious magazine.

At 38 years of age, Eva Longoria has consolidated herself as one of the most sought-after and influential Latina actresses in the United States and the world. Besides her professional career as an actress, the so-called "Latina Goddess of Hollywood" has stood out for her achievements in other professions such as producer, businesswoman and philanthropist.

This is why Elle en Español decided to highlight the importance of the Latina actress by having her become one of its "Swarovski Crystal Women". Since 2007, the magazine has dedicated it's December edition to highlighting the beauty and success of notable women.

Among those other women who have been on the cover of Elle in the past are Paz Vega, Belén Rueda, Elsa Pataky, Paula Echeverría, Irina Shayk and Sara Carbonero.

The photo shoot saw Eva covered with thousands of Swarovski crystals, renowned globally for the quality of the cut and polish of the diamonds they produce.
