Apple Martin: Special evening for Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow (52) and Coldplay singer Chris Martin (47) have been divorced since 2016, but they maintain a good relationship for their two children. They proved this again at the weekend in Paris: together they watched as their daughter Apple Martin (20) took part in a ball as a debutante.

The 20-year-old visited “Le Bal des Débutantes” on November 30th, where around 20 women between the ages of 16 and 22 have been introduced into high society every year since 1992. The celebrity daughters and actresses Lily Collins (35) and Margaret Qualley (30) were able to attend the glamorous event, where the focus is always on the elegant gowns. Apple Martin showed off a special look: She appeared in a custom-made Valentino dress that, according to Vogue, took 750 hours to make in the atelier of Valentino’s creative director Alessandro Michele. The strapless, light blue dress consisted of “six layers of pleated silk chiffon in the dégradé style.” It was tied at the waist with a black silk bow and Martin paired it with matching blue Valentino sandals.

Her family also presented themselves in clothing from the luxury fashion house. Gwyneth Paltrow wore a dress from Valentino’s Spring 2025 collection, while Chris Martin and brother Moses, 18, chose tailored tuxedos. In addition to “Vogue”, the proud mother also gave insights into the “special long weekend in Paris”. Gwyneth Paltrow posted several color and black and white photos of Apple on Instagram and gushed: “My beautiful daughter.”

Fashion journalist Derek Blasberg (42) once said that the late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld (1933-2019) predicted that Apple Martin would become a “Chanel Girl” when she was just four years old. In fact, she first gained fashion attention at age 18 during Paris Fashion Week 2023 when she wore a black-and-white Chanel dress-and-blazer ensemble.

However, the college student, who occasionally models for her mother’s lifestyle brand “Goop,” doesn’t consider herself to be “super trendy.” “I love sweaters and oversized cardigans, loafers and a good pair of comfortable Levis,” Apple told Vogue last year. “The most important thing for me is that I feel like my true self in an outfit; I aim for a mix of classic ’90s and cool grandpa look.”
