Last week, Apple Martin celebrated her graduation from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, with the whole family there: Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Brad Falchuk, Chris Martin, and Apple’s brother Moses.

Enjoying the sunny day, mother and daughter went for two different spring-inspired looks. Gwyneth wore a red collared jacket over a pale blue cotton maxi dress, paired with red sandals and black Wayfarers. Her pedicure matched that same tomato red. Red and blue have become an unexpected color combo this spring, offering a fresh take on color blocking inspired by the runways of Prada, Celine, and Loewe.

Apple—the older child of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin—wore a simple white cotton Vivienne Westwood Sunday dress under her graduation robe, paired with black bow ballet flats with a small heel and matching sunglasses.

Her father, Coldplay singer Chris Martin and Paltrow’s ex-husband, went for a sleek tailored black suit with a black polo underneath. Moses chose a more country collegiate look with a cream cable knit sweater, a cornflower blue shirt, gray suit pants, and brown Chelsea boots.

Apple, who earned her diploma in law, history, and society, has quickly developed a cool, feminine, minimalist sense of style. The 21-year-old has borrowed iconic pieces from her mother’s wardrobe (like this Calvin Klein number and this Alexander McQueen gown), but she also often wears Gen Z staples: low-rise jeans, capris, floaty midi skirts, and Mary-Janes. She’s already built an impressive fashion resume of her own: in 2024, she worked with Alessandro Michele on a custom sky-blue Valentino dress for Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris, and has since starred in campaigns for GapStudio and Self-Portrait.

In a previous interview with Vogue, Apple shared how grateful she was to have a “really normal experience” at Vanderbilt. While rebelling for the child of an Oscar-winning actor and famous musician might look like dreaming of becoming a lawyer, she did try her hand at theater directing.

So, now that she’s a full-fledged adult with a college degree, where will Apple Martin go next? Whether it’s a courtroom or a campaign, maybe joining Goop or starting her own beauty brand, you can bet it’ll be a stylish step forward.
