Hi Mayara,

Please try the below Validation Rule:

Use your correct Status field api name in below i havee assumed as status__c :
  
AND(
	NOT(ISNEW()),
	OR(
        ISCHANGED( FirstName ),
        ISCHANGED( LastName ),
        ISCHANGED( Salutation )
        ),
	TEXT(Status__c) <> 'approved'
)

If you don't want the Salutation in above rule you can remove it.

Thansk,

Without Salutation :
  
AND(
	NOT(ISNEW()),
	OR(
        ISCHANGED( FirstName ),
        ISCHANGED( LastName )
        ),
	TEXT(Status__c) <> 'approved'
)

Thanks,
Maharajan.C
