The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and the energy of Gwyneth Paltrow at the peak of her ’90s cool girl powers continue to permeate today—case in point, her daughter Apple Martin.
Photographed on a casual dog walk through the Hamptons yesterday (July 3), Apple Martin went for a relaxed look: She wore a white cable knit sweater over a white tank top, with navy adidas shorts, and black ballerina pumps with eyelet-studded straps. While the wired headphones (Apple Martin, an surprising certified wired-it girl) add that first layer of nostalgia, it’s the up-do and the circular black sunglasses that give her the ’90s stylings of her mother.
It’s a look that almost exactly reflects her mother at the 1996 premiere of her film The Pallbearer. Here, Paltrow was photographed with her then-partner Brad Pitt at the Tribeca Film Center in New York City, where she wore a white, lightly floral patterned shirt, her long blonde hair in a relaxed off-center up-do, and a pair of small, dark sunglasses.
Martin has her moments for channeling her mother. When Martin made her fashion week debut back in 2023, she did so on the front row of the Chanel couture spring show in Paris. Wearing the house’s signature tweed skirt suit, she recalled some of Paltrow’s rare fashion week appearances made for the house—in particular, her own tweedy skirt suit moment for Chanel’s spring 2016 couture show.
Paltrow’s style over the years has oscillated from glam to Goop-y, but it’s our ever-enduring obsession with the ’90s that draws us to this particular golden era of Gwyneth looks. Think sexy, slinky slips as she promoted her 1998 film A Perfect Murder, oversized leathers and straight-leg denim, tank tops and tailored trousers, a pixie cut and sharp chignons with oval, orange-lensed sunnies. It’s an aesthetic and vibe that’s easily replicable, as Apple Martin’s super casual dog walk shows—of course, it helps to be related to the style icon you’re emulating.
