There is a new style star in town! Apple Martin, daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay's Chris Martin, stepped into the limelight at the prestigious Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris. Held at the opulent Shangri-La Hotel, the event is a glamorous coming-of-age tradition for young women from notable families worldwide.

Apple stole the spotlight in a custom Valentino gown, an ethereal creation by its Creative Director Alessandro Michele. The gown, a delicate symphony of pastel hues and intricate embroidery, combined timeless elegance with a modern flair, perfectly complementing Apple’s poised and radiant presence. She accessorized with minimal jewelry and a soft, natural makeup look, letting the gown take center stage.

The striking light blue Valentino gown, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, reportedly took an astonishing 750 hours to create. Martin's look was completed with minimalistic makeup, soft waves in her hair, and matching silk heels, embodying timeless elegance. This marked Michele's first collaboration on such a debutante gown

The 19-year-old's appearance at Le Bal marked her debut in high society and the fashion world, where her family connections and striking resemblance to her mother already make waves. "It was an unforgettable experience," Apple shared in an interview. "Valentino's vision made me feel both beautiful and confident."

The event, known for its prestigious roster of debutantes, served as a family affair for Apple. Her mother, Gwyneth Paltrow, and brother, Moses Martin, were also in attendance, with Paltrow opting for a black Valentino gown from the brand's Spring 2025 collection. This year’s Le Bal highlighted individuality and creativity, all while raising funds for charity.

Le Bal des Débutantes, known for its philanthropic mission, raised funds this year for various charitable causes, blending tradition, glamour, and goodwill. With Apple Martin's graceful debut, the next generation of style and influence has officially arrived.
