Eva Longoria's 35th birthday certainly didn't pass unnoticed yesterday.

The Desperate Housewives star enjoyed a day of celebratory activities before a swanky evening party aboard a yacht, laid on by her doting husband Tony Parker.

Guests who came along to wish the actress many happy returns included American socialite Kim Kardashian and Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin.

The day started with a group breakfast followed by a spot of shopping and then onto a poolside lunch at the trendy W Hotel in Miami's South Beach.

At lunch time the group were in high spirits and were seen tucking in to treats, including chips and jugs of what appeared to the ice tea.

At one point 29-year-old Kim, dressed in a plunging black dress, and Robin nipped out to buy Eva a birthday present. The pair got into a Range Rover, which drove them to the Bal Harbour Shops.

They walked out with bags from Nieman Marcus and Chanel, which they later presented to their pal, who was dressed casually in black leggings and a grey top.

Later it was on to a luxury yacht, which Eva and Tony chartered to celebrate her birthday in style.

The Utopia III, owned by JR Ridinger of Market America, was moored in Miami Beach in Florida, affording the group stunning views.

And, of course, the day of exciting celebrations led to a flurry of messages on Twitter.
