Eva Longoria and Jennifer Lopez's front row fashion battle!

Does Jennifer Lopez still have it? Or is Eva Longoria Parker the newly annointed Latina Queen of Fashion?

Judging from the crazed reactions of photographers at the New York fashion shows, Eva is the new Latina It Girl.

Acclaimed international fashion/culture reporter Dana Thomas, author of "Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Luster," was in the Big Apple today for some paper promo work and popped into the Diane von Furstenberg fashion show.

"The seats were empty next to me and I thought, no-shows? And then, suddenly, very much showed up: Jennifer Lopez, Rosario Dawson and Eva Longoria, who sat down right next to me," says Thomas. "The horde of photographers descended on us like those flesh-eating ants in 'Indiana Jones.' 'Eva! Eva!' they shouted. 'Look left! Look left!'

"Jennifer was, sadly, an afterthought," according to Thomas. "You can gauge quickly the state of your career by paparazzi shouts," she adds.

While the flashes blinded Dana and Eva, the author whispered, "This is what I get for forgetting to put on my lipstick," to the "Desperate Housewives" star, who "cracked up."
