Causing for quite the paparazzi frenzy, Eva Longoria and Sheryl Crow were all smiles as they teamed up for a lunch outing at The Ivy restaurant in Beverly Hills on Friday afternoon (October 10).

The “Desperate Housewives” actress and her “Soak Up the Sun” singing gal pal pried their way through photographers and onlookers, sitting down for a meal alongside the restaurant’s fellow celebrity guests including “Sex and the City” star Cynthia Nixon.
And it appears as if Eva and Sheryl had good reason to be in a cheerfully celebratory mood, as Miss Crow just launched a new casual clothing line called Bootheel Trading Co.

According to Sheryl’s Web site, the new collection is much like what Crow wears on a “casual day out or even while rocking out with her guitar at a concert.”

“The Bootheel Trading Company came out of Sheryl’s lifetime experiences here in Kennett and Southeast Missouri,” said Bernice Crow, Sheryl’s mother. “The collection is inspired by the kind of clothes she loves to wear — stylish jeans and feminine tops with a little hint of western cowgirl.”
