If you’ve been keeping up with Gwyneth Paltrow’s family life, then you’d know that her daughter Apple Martin is all grown up – and she’s promptly becoming a fashion star in the making at just 19. Last week, Martin rocked the internet by sporting Paltrow’s Alexander McQueen dress, which she wore to the 2002 Oscars.

Her Goop founder mum has long been hailed for her savvy sartorial choices, from her 1996 red velvet Gucci suit at the MTV awards (which she later rewore in 2021) to her ballerina-like gown at the 1999 Oscars, when she took home an award.

Although Apple seems more inclined towards singing (like her dad, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin) over acting, she certainly seems to have inherited her mum’s sense of style.

Let’s take a look at the Los Angeles-based youngster’s best matching fashion looks with her Marvel mama.

1. The Oscars 2002 dress

Earlier this month, Paltrow took to Instagram to respond to some fan-submitted queries from her inbox.

One of the questions was: “Does Apple wear any of your fashion archives?”

Paltrow’s Instagram Story reply showed that she does indeed. The 50-year-old responded by sharing a pic of her daughter sporting her infamous 2002 Oscars dress from Alexander McQueen. Fitted with a sheer bodice and a voluminous black taffeta skirt, the gothic gown initially received backlash with critics calling it “unflattering” and a “fashion disaster” when Paltrow wore it over two decades ago, per The Independent.

In 2013, the health guru stated to Marie Claire, “There were a few issues; I still love the dress itself but I should have worn a bra and I should have just had simple beachy hair and less make-up.”

2. Summer dresses with grandma

Paltrow and her daughter twinned in polka dot summer dresses from Goop’s G Label in this snap shared in 2020. Posing with Paltrow’s mum Blythe Danner, who’s also an actress, the dynamic multi-generational trio showed how a keen sense of fashion definitely seems to run in the family.

3. Gym buddies

It’s no question that Paltrow is a health and fitness enthusiast – though she’s oftentimes been criticised for some of her methods, from the infamous jade egg to promoting bee sting therapies on Goop.

But she’s not always about the wacky wellness routines. During the pandemic, the mother-daughter duo twinned once again for a workout wearing a sports bra and leggings set complete with black-and-white pairs of Hoka One One running shoes, per People. Paltrow tagged her long-time trainer, Tracy Anderson of the eponymous Tracy Anderson Method, in the pic too.

4. Matching in swimwear

The twosome rang in the new year for 2023 in matching string bikinis in different colours while on a trip to Barbados.

According to British media, Martin’s two-piece was from Daily Drills.

5. Chanel girls

It seems the Gen Z-er was always destined to be a “Chanel girl”. When Martin first met the late Karl Lagerfeld as a toddler, Lagerfeld declared that she would be one someday, according to American fashion personality Derek Blasberg on Instagram.

In January, Martin fulfilled his predictions, making a front-row debut at Chanel’s haute couture show dressed head-to-toe in the brand alongside fellow A-listers like Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink and actress Lucy Boynton.

Paltrow has dressed in Chanel many times over the years. She attended the house’s spring 2016 show in a similar black-and-white tweed look to her daughter’s.

6. Puffer jacket chic

Sometimes the simplest looks are the most effective. Paltrow and Martin showed us how to be the ultimate “Californian cool girl” as they twinned in simple white tees. Both ladies paired the tops with breezy, blue skirts.
