AceShowbiz - Apple Martin, the 20-year-old daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, made her debutante debut at Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris on November 30. The annual fashion event introduces approximately 20 women between the ages of 16 and 22 into society.
Apple wore a custom Valentino gown made in six tiers of silk plissé chiffon, cinched at the waist with a black silk bow. The gown was paired with matching blue Valentino sandals. The creation took Valentino Creative Director Alessandro Michele's atelier 750 hours to make, making Apple the first Le Bal attendee to ever wear a custom gown by Michele.
Her family supported her at the event, with Gwyneth wearing a gown from Valentino's spring 2025 collection while Chris and Moses wearing custom Valentino tuxedos. Gwyneth expressed her pride on her Instagram Stories, posting photos of Apple in the stunning gown.
Apple has shown an interest in fashion from an early age, attending Paris Fashion Week in 2023 and modeling for Goop, her mother's lifestyle brand. She has a unique style, describing it as a mix of "classic '90s and cool grandpa."
Since 1994, Le Bal des Débutantes has been about empowering young women around the world. This event marks a significant milestone in Apple Martin's life, as she enters adulthood and cements her place in society.
