Apple Martin, daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, is beginning to establish herself in the spotlight, indicating a desire to pave her own path while still enjoying “stealing” clothes from her mother’s wardrobe. In a recent interview with Interview Magazine Editor-in-Chief Mel Ottenberg, Apple, who is 20 years old, discussed her college life, career aspirations in pre-law, and evolving sense of fashion. She mentioned that her style is still developing, with a mix of classic pieces like Doc Martens, jeans, and a white t-shirt, as well as “fun and fabulous” fashion items.
After completing an internship at Interview Magazine in the summer of 2024, Apple’s passion for fashion was sparked, with her first-ever interview and photoshoot for the magazine playing a significant role in her sartorial awakening. The shoot featured a variety of looks, showcasing her ability to pull off collegiate-chic pieces as well as more glamorous and trendy ensembles. Apple mentioned that her favorite place to shop is her mother’s closet, which contains a collection of nostalgic Calvin Klein pieces from the 90s that she loves to borrow and wear.
When it comes to fashion icons, Apple cited her mother as a source of inspiration, particularly admiring a throwback look of hers featuring a cheetah print coat, hair clips, and wedged sandals. She also expressed admiration for Jane Birkin’s style, especially her babydoll dresses, but typically gravitates towards a 90s supermodel vibe for her day-to-day looks. In terms of beauty, Apple prefers a bolder glam look, with a love for fun eyeshadow and bold eyeliner, embracing a unique and experimental approach to makeup.
As Apple continues to navigate her path in the fashion world, it is likely that we will see more of her on the front row of fashion shows or gracing the cover of magazines. Taking inspiration from the character Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, played by Reese Witherspoon, who was known for her fashion sense and daring use of color, Apple is embracing her own style and making a mark in the industry. The Interview shoot helped her to realize the importance of having fun with fashion and being more experimental, leading to a newfound confidence in her evolving sense of style.
