Dexter’s Julie Benz dolled up for Eva Longoria’s New Year’s bash

Dexter star Julie Benz was among dozens of stars who turned out for Eva Longoria’s Hollywood New Year’s Eve bash at the Desperate Housewives star’s restaurant, Beso.

As she often does on the red carpet, Benz indulged her inner sex-kitten in a form-fitting black satin cocktail dress which she smartly accessorized with a black patent clutch and flirty red pumps (a close-up of these killer shoes is after the jump).

Other celebrities joining Benz to ring in 2009 included Christopher Lambert, Drew Carey, Masi Oka, Brooke Burns, Nadine Velazquez, Darin Brooks, Josh Henderson and Lindsay Price.
