Apple Martin showed that the fashion apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when she wore a vintage black Calvin Klein dress to the New York City premiere of A24’s Marty Supreme. The dress came straight from her mother Gwyneth Paltrow’s ’90s archive. The sleek, strappy dress is the same Calvin Klein Collection look that Paltrow wore to the New York premiere of Emma in 1996. Fans immediately started to remember the minimalist red carpet era.
Apple walked the carpet with her Oscar-winning mom and younger brother Moses. She wore a modern version of ’90s minimalism with a form-fitting silhouette, simple diamond studs, and a chic updo that subtly referenced Paltrow’s original style from almost 30 years ago. Paltrow also wore all black to the event, which made for a stylish mother-daughter matching moment that showed how stylish their family is in Hollywood.
Apple’s look is the latest in her ongoing love affair with her mother’s fashion archive. She has borrowed a black Alexander McQueen dress that Paltrow wore to the Oscars in 2002 and often raided her collection of ’90s Calvin Klein slip dresses and tube skirts. Paltrow has said that she has saved decades of red carpet looks just for Apple. She also said that they often “play dress-up” together and that she thinks her daughter is “so freaking cool” and a fashion voice in her own right.
Apple has said that her mom is a “badass” when it comes to style, and she credits Paltrow with giving her the confidence to wear what she loves without worrying about what other people think. Apple brought back this old Calvin Klein dress on a very public red carpet, which not only honored a key moment in her mother’s career, but also fit in with the trend among Gen Z in Hollywood toward sustainable, vintage, and heirloom fashion.
