Melanie Griffith, 68, Is More Stunning Than Ever on the Red Carpet 38 Years After ‘Working Girl'
Melanie Griffith may be best known for her role in Working Girl, but she's more stunning than ever at 68.
Griffith, 68, scored acclaim for her famous role as Tess McGill in Working Girl, and went on to roles in projects like Celebrity and Crazy in Alabama. The acclaimed actress, who is also the mom of star Dakota Johnson, still takes on occasional acting roles these days, but lately flies under the radar. But in a new red carpet appearance at the opening reception for "Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood Icon" at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Griffith looked absolutely beautiful alongside Jeff Leatham. Wearing all black with her blonde hair in a chic shag cut, Griffith is aging like a fine wine.
Griffith Is Still Close With Her Ex, Antonio Banderas
Antonio Banderas, 65, known for films ranging from Philadelphia and Evita to Shrek and The Mask of Zorro, married Griffith in 1996. While the couple isn't married anymore, they're still rather tight and enjoy hanging out with each other. The duo has a daughter, Stella Banderas, and recently shared a sweet Instagram photo of them cuddling on the couch together with Stella's new husband, Alex.
"A lovely and fun moment yesterday in Los Angeles with my son-in-law Alex, my daughter Stella, and my ex-wife and lifelong friend, Melanie," Banderas captioned the photo, which showed the fearsome foursome curled up on the couch for a photo.
When Did Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith Divorce?
Banderas and Griffith officially divorced in 2015 after separating in June 2014, the Associated Press reported at the time. It was determined that Banderas would have to pay Griffith up to $65,000 a month in spousal support.
Does Griffith Still Have Antonio's Name Tattooed on Her Arm?
Griffith famously had her husband Antonio's name tattooed on her upper arm, surrounded by a heart. Following their split, it was announced in the same article that Griffith began removing Banderas' name from the heart tattoo on her arm. However, paparazzi photos from back in 2022 show it's still a bit visible, if you look very closely.
How Many Children Does Melanie Griffith Have?
Griffith also has a son, Alexander Bauer, with ex Steven Bauer, and a stepson, Jesse, with ex-husband Don Johnson. Of course, she and Johnson also have a very famous daughter, Dakota Johnson.
Back in January of 2025, Griffith celebrated her own mother, iconic actress Tippi Hedren.
In honor of Hedren's 95th birthday, Griffith posted a series of photos and videos of her mother looking happy and healthy as she blew out her birthday candles. Sporting bright rep lips and turquoise jewelry, Hedren waved for the camera as she sat at the head of the dinner table.
"My beautiful Mama turned 95 yesterday! 🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰 She's happy, healthy and feisty!!" Griffith posted on Instagram.
