There can be plenty of perks to being the daughter of Hollywood royalty, and Apple Martin, the daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, is making sure she enjoys most of them.
The blonde 21-year-old singer joined her mother and brother, Moses, 19, at Tuesday’s New York premiere of Paltrow’s latest film, Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet. For the red carpet, Apple borrowed a black Calvin Klein dress first worn by her mother to the 1996 premiere of Emma.
Apple has already demonstrated an affinity for her mother’s designer tastes, posing on Instagram in 2022 wearing the controversial black Alexander McQueen dress first worn by Paltrow to the 2002 Academy Awards.

Promoting a recent advertising campaign in which the mother-and-daughter act participated for clothing chain The Gap, Paltrow told US Vogue that Apple is very familiar with her archive.
“She pulls all kinds of stuff. She’s very into all my ’90s Calvin, of which there’s a lot, and the ’90s Prada, of which there’s a lot,” Paltrow told Vogue. “Sometimes we just play dress-up, and she’ll put on my Oscar dresses and stuff like that. We have fun down there.”
Apple managed to find her own outfit to attend last year’s exclusive Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris, wearing a strapless blue Valentino gown that took 750 hours to make.
For the Marty Supreme premiere, Apple is following in the footsteps of other Hollywood offspring by tapping into the vintage trend through their parents’ archival pieces.
Back in 2021, Zahara Jolie-Pitt borrowed a sequinned Elie Saab haute couture gown that her mother, Angelina Jolie, wore to the Oscars in 2012.
Salma Hayek’s daughter, Valentina Pinault, reached further back into history to accompany her mother to the 2023 Oscars. Pinault picked a strapless red Isaac Mizrahi gown that her mother originally wore in 1997, long before her birth.
To the relief of Princess Charlotte, who could be keeping a close eye on the wardrobe of her mother Catherine, Princess of Wales, even royals are not immune to the attraction of haute couture hand-me-downs.
The 22-year-old heir to the Dutch throne, Princess Catharina-Amalia, wore an apple-green gown from Theresia Vreugdenhil in October to an event celebrating the 750th anniversary of Amsterdam. The dress with beading on the bodice was first worn by her grandmother, Queen Beatrix, in 1981 for a state visit to Belgium. In 2014, Catharina-Amalia’s mother, Queen Maxima, wore the dress to a concert in Amsterdam.

In July 2020, Princess Beatrice, daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, bypassed her mother’s eclectic and vibrant wardrobe to pick a gown for her wedding day first worn by her grandmother Queen Elizabeth. The Norman Hartnell dress was worn by the Queen in 1962 to the London premiere of Lawrence of Arabia.
Beatrice described wearing the dress as an “honour”. For Apple, wearing her mother’s clothes appears to be more of a habit.
