Apple Martin is making the most of the gifts from her mother, Gwyneth Paltrow. In this case, it’s a dress by Alexander McQueen.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, the 50-year-old actress and founder of Goop addressed questions from followers, one of which asked about her storage space for old photos.
Apple wears any of your fashion archives, a follower inquired.
In retaliation, Paltrow shared a photo of her 19-year-old daughter wearing the exact same Alexander McQueen gown that Paltrow wore to the 2002 Academy Awards.
She holds one hand under her chin and the other on her hip as she poses inside a walk-in wardrobe, which she shares with Chris Martin of Coldplay. The two are now ex-couples, and Moses Martin, who is 17 years old, is their child.
Martin didn’t just try on any dress; it was a dress that, with its audacity and gothic design, stirred conversation.
The ensemble featured a rumpled skirt and a sheer mesh top with a cross-hatch pattern in the middle.
Paltrow admitted that more than ten years after wearing the gown, she now regrets handling it.
In a 2013 QandA article posted on the Goop website, she admitted that “there were a few issues; I still love the dress itself but I should have worn a bra and just had simple beachy hair and less makeup.”. Then, a punk at the Oscars would have accomplished my desired result.
Her position on the subject has evolved in recent years. She stated in her Vogue Life in Looks video 2021, “Everybody hated [it], but I kind of like [it].”. Because of the criticism, she claimed, “I had a weird hangover about it for a while.” She also mentioned that the punk edge had a small shock value.
The Iron Man actor can give Martin a few different options. “I’ve saved quite a few pairs of shoes for Apple. She said, “Lucky for her, I have plenty of ’90s [pieces],” in a February closet tour posted to Goop’s Youtube channel.
The Oscar winner also discovered a white Calvin Klein dress with floral embroidery that she had worn on a date with her ex-husband Brad Pitt while filming.
She claimed, referring to their date night at the 1996 New York City premiere of The Pallbearer, that she had “probably worn [it] to a premiere when I was going out with Brad Pitt.”. It conveys an attitude that is distinctly “I don’t give a f—k” from the 1990s. ”.
Martin is on the verge of becoming the newest It girl in fashion.
Since she is a private individual who rarely appears in public, admirers were taken aback when she made her Paris Fashion Week debut at Chanel’s Haute Couture show at the beginning of the year.
She was one of the A-list guests who attended the event and cheered on the company from the front row, along with Sadie Sink and Lucy Boynton. She dressed in a checkered tweed miniskirt suit, loafers, and pin-straight hair, making a striking resemblance to her mother.
According to Derek Blasberg, Apple Martin met Karl Lagerfeld when she was 4 years old and the fashion designer predicted that she would become a Chanel girl in the future. “It occurred today!”.
