As the eldest daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, Apple Martin has always been a focal point for the media. Her striking resemblance to her mother has frequently landed her in the headlines, and she has been hailed as the “most beautiful star offspring“.
Recently, Apple Martin was invited to the Paris Debutante Ball (Le Bal des Débutantes), marking her grand debut in the social scene. Dressed in a stunning powder blue Valentino gown, Apple Martin looked radiant and full of confidence.
This is a highly anticipated ball, with only 20 lucky participants allowed each year. The Bal des Débutantes is a social event that society women dream of, not only because of its long history but also due to its strict invitation system, earning the title of “one of the world’s top ten luxury dinners.”
One of the conditions for attending the ball is that young women aged between 16 and 22 must be accompanied by a partner, which is seen as their “coming-of-age ceremony” into society. In the past, invitees were often from prominent families, including Lily Collins, Ava Philippe, and Margaret Qualley, and even Anna Wintour’s daughter Bee Schafer.
This year, Apple Martin clearly shone, wearing a gown by Valentino’s new creative director Alessandro Michele, which took 750 hours to create. This powder blue low-cut dress not only showcases the brand’s exquisite craftsmanship but also enhances her elegant youthful charm.
At the same time, she was accompanied by her parents Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, as well as her brother Moses Martin. The whole family wore Valentino’s black custom evening gowns, becoming another highlight of the ball.
At the ball, Apple Martin’s partner was Count Leo Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck, who came from a noble family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His family had led many innovations in German industry and is considered a prestigious lineage.
Apple Martin’s entire family attended the ball, including her grandmother Blythe Danner, her parents, and her younger brother. The moment she danced with her father Chris Martin became a warm highlight of the evening, and many netizens expressed that they were deeply moved.
Chris recalled that in his daughter’s workplace, he often acted shy and respectful, leaving candy for her and overhearing her confession: “I love you, Daddy“, which warmed his heart immensely.
However, a small incident during the dance party sparked different opinions. In a video, a girl can be seen preparing to take a photo when Apple Martin excitedly enters the scene and strikes various poses.
This action has sparked heated discussions among netizens; some people believe she appeared rude, while others think she was just showcasing her lively and approachable nature, perhaps due to a close relationship with that girl.
Although there is no conclusion to these discussions, as Apple Martin’s fame continues to grow, her every move will attract more and more attention. In the future, her stories will surely bring more anticipation to the public.
