LONDON: The 'Desperate Housewives' actress became close friends with the former Spice Girl when she and her soccer star husband David moved to Los Angeles in 2007 with their three children and says she aspires to be like Victoria.

Eva - who is married to basketball star Tony Parker - said: "It's really interesting the camaraderie that athletes' wives have, because they understand the schedule, the travelling and the distance. Victoria and I are in similar situations when it comes to our husbands. I admire the wife and mother that she is and, at the same time, this glamorous and beautiful businesswoman. That's what I aspire to be."

Eva is also a huge fan of Victoria's fashion label and thinks she's a very accomplished designer.

She told Britain's Hello! magazine: "They're my favourite dresses out right now! They are beautifully created, so classic yet modern. She's really hit the nail on the head. You can tell she's not another celebrity doing a clothing line, she is fashion and knows what she is talking about."
