Gwyneth Paltrow reveals daughter Apple Martin tried on her infamous 2002 Oscars gown
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree for Gwyneth Paltrow and daughter Apple Martin, specifically in the fashion department.
During an Instagram Q&A session Thursday, Paltrow revealed that Martin – her daughter with Coldplay singer Chris Martin – had tried on the controversial Alexander McQueen gown Paltrow wore to the 74th Academy Awards in 2002.
"Does Apple ever wear any of your fashion archives?" a fan asked Paltrow on her Instagram story, prompting the actress and Goop founder to share a photo of Martin donning the goth-inspired frock.
In the photo, the 19-year-old can be seen standing inside what appears to be a walk-in closet while wearing the designer dress with a playful hand on her hip.
Paltrow's feelings on the McQueen dress have softened over time, she said in an interview for Vogue’s "Life in Looks" series in April 2021. The "Shakespeare in Love" star said the look, which featured a long black skirt and sleeveless sheer top, drew criticism at the time for being "too goth" and "too hard."
"Everybody really hated this, but I think it’s kind of dope," Paltrow told Vogue. "I had a weird hangover about it for a while because people were really critical."
Martin has been embracing her inner fashionista as of late. The teen made her Paris Fashion Week debut in January, sitting front row at Chanel's spring/summer show alongside singer-songwriter Angèle, "Stranger Things" star Sadie Sink and "The Pale Blue Eye" actor Lucy Boynton. She wore a black-and-white plaid dress and accessorized her look with a black purse featuring a sparkling strap.
Despite her famous upbringing, Martin has stayed out of the public eye. Paltrow and ex-husband Chris Martin, who also share 17-year-old son Moses, rarely post photos of their children on social media, mostly reserving the appearances for birthdays and holidays like National Son Day or National Daughter Day.
