She’s the daughter of A-list stars Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas.

And, Stella Banderas, 25, looked ready for business in a red mini skirt and coordinating blazer at Dior’s Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week show, on Monday afternoon. 

The aspiring actress commanded attention in the bold red skirt suit as she posed for photographs at the city’s famed Rodin museum before settling in to see Dior’s Spring Summer 2022 collection.

Stella oozed confidence in her chic two-piece set, and wore skin-coloured tights to give her some warmth amid the plummeting January temperatures. 

The stunner wore a chic black ribbed polo neck jumper beneath her suit jacket, and tucked it into her skirt’s waistband.

Stella carried her belongings in a padded white top-handle Dior handbag and boosted her height with branded black-and-white pointed stiletto heels.

Completing her look, she accessorised with a pretty silver necklace and styled her ombré tresses into voluminous waves.

Stella’s fashionable outing comes a few months after she filed to remove ‘Griffith’ from her name, according to legal documents, obtained by The Blast.  

The Spanish actress wants to ‘shorten’ her name to Stella Del Carmen Banderas ‘by removing the extra last name.’ 

‘I typically do not use ‘Griffith’ when referring to myself or on documents, so dropping the name would match my regular use,’ she explained in paperwork of her reasoning behind the request.

Melanie Griffith’s youngest child, who is bilingual in both Spanish and English, is the half-sister of Alexander Bauer and Dakota Johnson, from her marriages to Steven Bauer and Don Johnson, respectively.

The dual-citizen of Spain and the United States was largely raised out of the spotlight, but has recently recently begun attending high-profile events.

Stella’s choice does not seem to have anything to do with her relationship with her mother, who received a sweet birthday gift from both her girls in September.

Melanie filed for divorce from Antonio Banderas in June 2014 after 18 years of marriage. 

The exes first began their relationship in 1996, during filming of their movie Two Much. 

Melanie would go on to star in her husband’s 1999 directorial debut Crazy In Alabama, which also featured Stella’s first on-screen role.

The mother-of-three has kept busy in recent years, with a recurring role on the rebooted Hawaii Five-0 and small parts in The Pirates Of Somalia and the Oscar-nominated Disaster Artist.

In 2020, Antonio said he still speaks to his ex-wife Melanie all the time and says she will always be part of his ‘family.’  

The former couple have remained close since their divorce and Antonio has said Melanie will always be part of his life because they shared so many ‘wonderful years’ and have their ‘wonderful daughter’ Stella together.

Speaking on TV show ‘El Break de las 7’, he said: ‘I think we are both reluctant to bury 20 years of marriage. We are human beings, we make mistakes and that is the human condition.

‘You have to leave the egos aside and not want to prove that you are right or find who’s guilty of what. Because it may be both or neither of you. There is a moment when things are over and you have to accept it. 

‘The life I had with Melanie was beautiful. We had 20 wonderful years during which we gave our best and lived wonderful moments that I will not forget. We had a wonderful daughter that we both love and that is the end result of our relationship, the most beautiful thing we have ever done together,’ he added.
