She's at the Dubai International Film Festival to receive the Global Gift Humanitarian Award acknowledging her charitable work at a glittering gala on Monday.

And it looks like Melanie Griffith is having a whale of a time hanging out with Eva Longoria and pop star Anastacia at the United Arab Emirates festival.

On Sunday, the 59-year-old slipped her slender figure into a figure-hugging, silver sequin dress and matching sling-back shoes as she walked the red carpet for director Sophie Boutros's film Solitaire on day five of the festival.

Trio of beauty: Hollywood stars Melanie Griffith and Eva Longoria posed on either side of singer Anastacia at a screening of director Sophie Boutros's film Solitaire at the Dubai International Film Festival on Sunday

Her blonde hair was styled in an elaborate updo giving a full view of her perfectly made-up face.

The Working Girl star was joined on the red carpet by Eva, 41, and Anastacia, 48.

The beautiful brunette wore a sleeveless dress with a fitted black bustiere and a white flared skirt.

Anastacia, full name Anastacia Newkirk, took a leaf out of Melanie's fashion book and sparkled in a sequin dress.
