Apple Martin has just proven that good style is indeed inherited. Stepping out at the Marty Supreme premiere in New York City, wearing a vintage Calvin Klein gown once worn by her mother, Gwyneth Paltrow, the "nepo baby" made a powerful nod to fashion history. The minimalist slip dress originally debuted nearly three decades ago when Paltrow wore it to the Emma premiere in 1996, at the height of Calvin Klein’s dominance over red-carpet minimalism.

The moment felt less like a costume revival and more like a continuation. The gown’s clean lines, understated elegance, and timeless silhouette remain as relevant today as they were in the mid-’90s.
During that time, Gwyneth Paltrow became synonymous with Calvin Klein’s pared-down aesthetic, helping define an era of red-carpet dressing that favored restraint. That same ethos resonated in Apple Martin’s appearance. The rewear also reflects a broader cultural shift toward archival dressing and sustainability.
More than a mother-daughter fashion moment, Apple’s choice underscores the emotional and historical value embedded in clothing, especially when it carries personal meaning.
