Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple stuns in new Self-Portrait campaign, sharing behind-the-scenes photos and gratitude.
Nepo Baby Apple Martin, daughter of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and actress Gwyneth Paltrow, put on a striking display as she celebrated her latest modelling venture with London-based fashion house Self-Portrait.
The 21-year-old nepo star shared a series of sizzling Instagram photos on Thursday, showcasing her enviable figure and impeccable style.
In the snaps, Apple wore eye-catching red tights paired with a dramatic white fur coat, a satin burgundy one-shoulder blouse, and white stilettos that elevated her frame.
Her blonde hair was styled in a sleek updo, complementing the bold ensemble. She posed with her leg extended while lounging on a sofa, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with the brand.
Alongside the fashion celebration, Apple also paid homage to her musical roots, sharing the Oasis hit She’s Electric in the background, despite her father’s previous public feud with the Gallagher brothers.
Liam Gallagher has been openly critical of Coldplay in the past, even mocking fans and referencing past controversies like Coldplay’s kiss-cam scandal during concerts.
Apple’s Instagram caption reflected her excitement and appreciation:
“The most incredible night with @mrselfportrait and @melzy917 and all my old and new friends. I feel so grateful to have the opportunity to work with all these talented, kind, iconic, and superb people. Also a HUGE thank you to the incredibly talented @evaniefrausto and @sooparkmakeup for making me feel like a princess.”
Apple has faced scrutiny for her privileged background, with critics accusing her of leveraging her famous parents to advance her modelling career. Earlier this year, she joined Gwyneth Paltrow in a campaign with GapStudio, which sparked debate online.
Her latest collaboration with Self-Portrait marks her debut with the London fashion brand, where she posed for renowned photographer Ryan McGinley on a farm in upstate New York.
Styled by Mel Ottenberg, Apple wore pieces from Self-Portrait’s latest ready-to-wear collection, including a white lace and satin maxi dress and a silver gradient sequined gown.
The model, who is also pursuing studies at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, described her debut campaign as a natural fit.
“Debuting with Self-Portrait was a no-brainer – their British spirit reminds me of growing up in London, so it’s felt like home from the start,” Apple said. “Plus, the collections are gorgeous and approachable!
Han and the team welcomed me as part of the creative process, and I am having a lot of fun learning along the way. I’m so excited for this campaign to be out in the world and to continue exploring this side of my creativity together.”
Apple has openly discussed the challenges of navigating public attention as a “Hollywood nepo baby.” In April, she reflected on the negative attention she received following last year’s Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris, where she faced backlash for allegedly stealing the spotlight from another debutante.
Apple emphasized that much of the criticism online was misleading and that she now avoids reading social media comments to protect her mental health.
“I’ve tried to be like, ‘People are going to say stuff, and that’s okay.’ And like everybody, there’s going to be stuff that isn’t true and stuff that is upsetting, and all I can do is just be the best that I can be and be with the people I love,” Apple said.
Despite occasional controversies, Apple continues to focus on her burgeoning modelling career, showing resilience and a dedication to her craft. Her collaboration with Self-Portrait, combined with her connection to music, style, and personal growth, positions her as a rising talent in the fashion world.
Apple Martin’s latest campaign not only highlights her modelling potential but also underscores her ability to carve out her own identity in the public eye.
From her stylish red-carpet appearances to her thoughtful reflections on criticism, Apple is steadily establishing herself as a multi-talented young woman ready to take on the worlds of fashion and entertainment, independent of her parents’ fame.
