Apple Martin is certainly living up to her heritage, as she makes waves in the fashion world.

The 21-year-old, daughter of Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin, has captured the spotlight in a new modeling project. Fans are quick to point out her striking resemblance to her mother, adding to the buzz around her latest venture.

Apple takes the stage in a captivating campaign for the renowned fashion brand Self-Portrait. The campaign, photographed by the talented Ryan McGinley, unfolds against the serene backdrop of pastoral landscapes in upstate New York.

With her understated makeup and gently tousled hair, Apple embodies a natural, ethereal look that harks back to some of Paltrow’s most memorable movie moments.

In one captivating shot, she ventures into the water, adorned in a sheer cotton dress.

In another image, she stands elegantly at the water’s edge, draped in a creamy wrap dress that exudes grace and simplicity.

After seeing the pictures, fans couldn’t help but compare her ethereal beauty to Paltrow’s appearances in Emma (1996) and Shakespeare in Love (1998).

At just 21, Apple is only two years younger than her mother was when she filmed Emma, further fueling comparisons between the two.

Apple is currently a college junior at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.

‘Apple is loving college life, it is a great fit for her and offers her so much as far as academics and a sense of community,’ a friend told the Daily Mail. 

‘She has really taken to the lifestyle and has made a lot of new friends, which is important to her. She certainly is thriving in Nashville.’

‘I’m a law, history, and society major but […] maybe I’ll take a theater course before I leave,’ Apple revealed to Interview magazine in April.

‘It’s really busy because after spring break I have tech week and I have to get everyone’s costumes ready for the show,’ she added.

She has also been enjoying the ambience of her college: ‘Vibes are great, honestly. It’s so much easier for me to get out of bed and walk to class when it’s pretty outside. Um, yeah,’ she said.

Apple also shared that she’s following in her mother’s footsteps by working on a show while at the university.

She said: ‘Oh my god, so – I’m in the lovely Vanderbilt Original Cast, the esteemed cabaret theater group. This semester’s show is a musical parody of Love Island called Love on an Island. It’s so fun. The songs are phenomenal.’ 

Vanderbilt University is a private research university in Nashville which was founded in 1873. It was named in honor of shipping and railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. 

Apple also celebrated her 21st birthday in May 2025, and marked the milestone with a glitzy ‘debutante’ coming-of-age ball the year prior.

The high society affair was held in Paris at the $1,000-a-night Hotel Shangri-La, and Apple was joined by handsome date Count Leo Henckel von Donnersmarck, who hails from Austro-Hungarian nobility.

Apple’s proud parents were also in attendance, as was her brother Moses, who is now 19.
