Melanie Griffith & Antonio Banderas' Daughter Stella Is Simply Gorgeous in a Black & White Outfit in Pic

Despite their split, Stella Banderas and her famous mom and dad were the picture of a happy family in one of her Instagram posts. The daughter of two well-known actors, Stella followed in their footsteps but now goes by Stella Banderas after making headlines for dropping her mother's last name.

In a recent Instagram post, Stella gave fans a life update, sharing a five-image post that included her stunning in a black and white knitted sweater with a leather jacket. In the other images, Stella shared a blurry snap of a scenic view out of a window and a mirror selfie in an all-black outfit. She ended the series of pictures with an image of roses.

Stellas amassed 202,000 followers at the time of writing, and while she is known as Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas' daughter, Stella has also made a name for herself as an actress. Born in Marbella, Spain, Stella's earliest acting credit came in 1999, when she landed a role in "Crazy in Alabama." Years later, she was part of the "The Oscars" cast in 2020 and attended Festival de cine de San Sebastián in 2021.

And this year, Stella proved her talent in front of the camera does not stop at acting; it also includes modeling. On March 28, Stella wore a pink silk slip dress as she posed alongside another model for the clothing brand RABÔT before donning an all-black outfit in a campaign for Dior. Stella joined forces with Dior again in April when she appeared on the cover of Woman Madame Figaro magazine in different unique outfits from Dior.

While Stella Banderas is making a name for herself in the world of fashion, she has done so by using her father's last name after requesting "Griffith" be removed from her last name in September 2021. Born Stella del Carmen Banderas Griffith, according to reports, Stella cited the reason for the change as wanting "to shorten my name by removing the extra last name."

"As well, I typically do not use 'Griffith' when referring to myself or on documents. So, dropping the name would match my regular use," she added. However, after sharing a picture of the smiling family, Melanie Griffith proved there was no bad blood between her and her daughter or her ex-husband. "Surrounding our Stella with love," the actress captioned the post.
