Antonio Banderas and Eva Longoria to hold second Starlite Gala.

AFTER the success of last year’s event, Antonio Banderas and Eva Longoria will be holding the second Starlite Gala in Marbella on August 6.

Last year, while Michelle Obama and her daughter were also staying at the hotel, Longoria, and 500 others attended the €1,000 -a-head Starlite charity gala held at the Villa Padierna.

The star-studded gala was co-hosted by Malaga actor Antonio Banderas, accompanied by his wife Melanie Griffith and their daughter, Stella del Carmen, who admitted himself that he doesn’t show his face at many parties, but this one was “worth it.”

The parade of famous faces included: Boris Becker, Adriana Karembeu, Alexandra and Victoria Swarovski, and Deepak Chopra, to name just a few.

The event raised €600,000 for the Eva Longoria fund, Niños en Alegria, and Fundacion Lagrimas y Favores.
