The best-known daughter of Hollywood star Melanie Griffith (64) is probably “Fifty Shades of Gray” star Dakota Johnson (32, dad is “Miami Vice” legend Don Johnson). But she still has a beautiful half-sister: Stella Banderas (25).
Stella, from Melanie’s marriage to Antonio Banderas (61), is Griffith’s youngest child. And now stepping out of the shadow of her older sister more and more.

It wasn’t until September that she walked the red carpet alongside Papa Antonio at the 69th San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain.
He proudly said of Stella that she was the wonderful result of his 20-year relationship with Melanie Griffith, “the most beautiful thing we have ever done together”.

And Stella, who was born in 1996 in Marbella (Spain) as Stella del Carmen Banderas Griffith, is really beautiful.
As a child she played in the film “Crazy in Alabama” (1999), now she works more as a model, in 2020 she graced the cover of the Spanish “Glamor”.
For three years she has also been working on her acting career, visiting the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York. So it will be interesting to see whether she will soon have her breakthrough as an actress.
Maybe she wants to have her name shortened in preparation for a great career. According to “The Blast”, the model has filed a request for a name change in Los Angeles. Officially, Stella del Carmen Banderas Griffith will only become Stella Banderas.
