From preteen to style queen: Stella Banderas’ most memorable red carpet looks, see all the photos

See how the young socialite masters minimalism


UPDATED FEBRUARY 7, 2020 2:35 AM EST

When dressing for the red carpet,  Stella Banderas  has shown she has a preference for minimal-chic style. Most recently, the 23-year-old has accompanied her father,  Antonio Banderas , to events wearing sophisticated iterations of simple strap dresses. Most often than not, the only daughter of  Melanie Griffith  and the Spanish actor steps out rocking fashion’s chicest, can’t-go-wrong color: black.

Although this hasn’t always been the case, we’ve noticed Stella’s sartorial choices tend to lean towards dark or neutral hues with a few exceptions. This year, we’re hoping to see more of the socialite on the red carpet. At the moment, we know she’ll be her father’s date at the 2020  Oscars  for which Antonio is nominated for his first golden statuette for his role in Pain and Glory.

Even though it’s her father’s special night, we’re eager to see what she’ll wear to the star-studded ceremony. Regardless, we’re sure she’ll nail her look. You know we’ll be watching!

Simply chic

The brunette beauty was by her father’s side at the Vanity Fair Spanish edition event, where he was honored as Personality of the Year. Stella looked chic and sophisticated as she opted for a simple spaghetti-strap dress in classic black.

Back in black

The then family-of-three appeared on the blue carpet clad in the dark hue. Stella’s dress channeled Old Hollywood glam thanks to the sweetheart neckline.

Another look that proves Stella is all about monochrome. Here, she’s with her mom, Melanie, half-sister Dakota Johnson and their grandmother, Tippi Hedren.

Twinning with mom

Mother-daughter duo had a similar outfit idea in mind when they dressed in black ensembles topped with a pop of color. In Melanie’s case, a cropped red blazer, meanwhile Stella chose a light beige overcoat.

Rainbow overload

Possibly the brightest look we’ve seen Stella in, the time she teamed a rainbow midi skirt with a cropped red cardigan. A bold move!

Early 2000s

We’re taking it way back with this look where – again – despite being around nine or ten years old, she opted for a darker get-up, unlike her mom, who went for a pretty minty ensemble.

Ladies night

The mini socialite went to the Golden Globes with her mom and sister wearing the ultimate pre-tween dress: a floor-length gown in a soft beige.
