Claim 2: “Eva Longoria wore a stunning black dress to the AFI Life Achievement Award gala, which saw Eddie Murphy become the latest recipient of the accolade.”

SINGLE SOURCE

While the evidence confirms both Eva Longoria attended an AFI event and that Eddie Murphy received an award, the specific combination—that she wore a black dress *and* that this was the gala where he received the award—is not corroborated by multiple independent sources. The evidence is suggestive but lacks the necessary cross-confirmation for a higher verdict.
