Fashion history repeats itself in the most heartwarming way! Apple Martin just stepped into her mom Gwyneth Paltrow’s stylish footsteps—literally. On Tuesday night in New York, the 21-year-old made a stunning red carpet debut at the premiere of Paltrow’s new A24 film, Marty Supreme, wearing a form-fitting black Calvin Klein Collection dress. But here’s the twist: this wasn’t just any dress—it’s the same one Paltrow wore nearly 30 years ago to the 1996 premiere of Emma, the Jane Austen-inspired film directed by Douglas McGrath. Talk about a full-circle fashion moment!
Apple wasn’t alone; she joined her mom and brother, Moses Martin, at the star-studded event, where Paltrow also donned a sleek black dress. This isn’t the first time Apple has raided her mom’s closet—Paltrow recently revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that her daughter is ‘so freaking cool’ and has been diving into her extensive fashion archive. And this is the part most people miss: Apple’s love for her mom’s ’90s style isn’t just a phase. Paltrow told Vogue during their Gap Studio campaign collaboration, ‘She’s very into all my ’90s Calvin [Klein] and ’90s Prada. Sometimes we just play dress-up—she’ll even try on my Oscar dresses!’
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is Apple’s fashion homage a sweet nod to her mom’s legacy, or is it a subtle statement about the cyclical nature of trends? Apple herself admits, ‘She’s such a badass when it comes to fashion… She influenced me.’ Could this be a quiet rebellion against today’s fast-fashion culture, or simply a daughter celebrating her mom’s timeless style? Let’s discuss in the comments!
Meanwhile, Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, hits theaters in New York and Los Angeles this Friday, with a wide release on Christmas Day. Starring Paltrow alongside Timothée Chalamet and Odessa A’zion, the film follows Marty Mauser, a hustler with a ping-pong paddle and a dream. Will it be as iconic as Paltrow’s Calvin Klein dress? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: Apple Martin is proving that style—like family—is forever.
