New York 08: Eva Longoria Parker is running a tight schedule.

The "Desperate Housewives" actress hopped on a red-eye flight from California to help launch the new M&M`s Premiums candy collection at New York Fashion Week on Sunday. Later that day, she planned to meet up with husband Tony Parker — in France.

If Longoria Parker was exhausted, she didn`t show it while hosting a presentation to introduce M&M Premiums, a new variety of the candy.

Wearing a dark brown beaded minidress designed by Pamella Roland, she said she`s always been "kind of an outspoken chocolate lover."

Since her breakout role in ABC`s "Desperate Housewives," the star has been a fixture on red carpets and best-dressed lists for her chic style.

When asked how she stays so stylish, she said, "It`s all smoke and mirrors — it`s the hair and makeup." She was less candid about speculation that she and France-born NBA star Parker are expecting their first child together.

Her response to how she deals with the rumors: "I don`t."
