Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin came together in Paris on Saturday, attending the Le Bal des Débutantes 2024 to support their daughter, Apple Martin, as she made her debut into society. The exclusive event, held at the Shangri-La Hotel, is an annual tradition where young women from influential families are introduced to society, all while raising funds for charitable causes.
Apple Martin, 20, dazzled in a custom-made strapless blue Valentino gown, which, according to Vogue, took 750 hours to craft. The gown’s intricate design was a perfect match for the occasion, as Apple marked her official debut into the glamorous world of Parisian high society. The stunning gown was the centerpiece of the event, which also saw Apple dancing with her father, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, in a heartwarming moment captured on social media.
In addition to the proud parents, Apple was accompanied by her younger brother Moses Martin and her grandmother, actress Blythe Danner, creating a strong family presence at the event. Gwyneth Paltrow shared a series of photos from the memorable weekend on Instagram, describing the event as “special.” One image featured a family portrait with Chris Martin, Blythe Danner, and Moses, while another showed Paltrow posing alongside her look-alike daughter.
The former couple were married from 2003 to 2014, followed by a highly publicized split which they famously referred to as a “conscious uncoupling”.
Le Bal des Débutantes, which traces its roots back to an 18th-century French tradition, returned in its modern form in 1994 after a hiatus from 1973. The event continues to attract high-profile young women, with past attendees including stars like Lily Collins, Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava Phillippe, and the daughters of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Tallulah and Scout Willis.
Apple Martin’s appearance at Le Bal des Débutantes marks a significant milestone in her life, and with her family by her side, the event was a testament to both her poise and the enduring bond between her parents.
