Gwyneth Paltrow is standing by her daughter, Apple Martin, following online backlash over a viral TikTok video from Apple’s recent society debut in Paris. The 20-year-old college student, dressed in a custom blue Valentino gown, became the subject of criticism after interrupting another debutante’s photo moment.
The TikTok clip shows an unidentified debutante posing in a black gown for a professional photographer when Apple enters the frame. Apple confidently walks in, strikes a pose with her hands on her hips, and later steps aside when the photographer directs her to make room for another debutante waiting for their picture.
While the debutante in black appeared unbothered, the incident sparked mixed reactions online. Critics labeled Apple’s actions as “mean girl” behavior. “She just came and stole that other girl’s thunder … ok,” one commenter wrote. Another said, “The girl in black was literally posing when Apple took over. And Apple’s walk is not it. She’s mocking the process.”
Others added remarks such as “How obnoxious and entitled she is,” and “It’s giving Regina George,” referencing the iconic antagonist from the 2004 film Mean Girls. However, Apple’s supporters were quick to defend her actions, arguing that she was simply enjoying the moment. “I think she was being silly and having fun,” one fan wrote, while another added, “This made me like her.
She has a sense of humor over the ridiculousness of this.” Paltrow, 52, remains unwavering in her pride for her daughter. She shared photos from the lavish event on Instagram, capturing family moments during the prestigious Parisian ball. Apple’s father, Chris Martin, 47, and her 18-year-old brother, Moses, were also in attendance to support her.
In a rare gesture, Paltrow and Martin posed together, showing unity as co-parents during the event. The high-profile debut marked a significant milestone for Apple, and Paltrow’s social media posts reflect her admiration for her daughter’s confidence and charm. While the online controversy continues to divide opinions.
Apple’s family appears united in their support as she steps into the spotlight. The Parisian ball not only celebrated Apple’s debut but also showcased her ability to navigate the challenges of public scrutiny with poise, a skill she undoubtedly inherited from her famous parents.
