A lot of ink has been spilled about how Apple Martin, 21, is her mom Gwyneth Paltrow's mini me. The two have the same buttery blonde hair and simple, elegant style, and it does seem like Martin is taking a few cues from her mom's now-legendary ‘90s style—and it’s not just limited to her closet. Hairstyles are fair game too, as evidenced by their recent red carpet appearance!
For the New York City premiere of Paltrow's new movie Marty Supreme, both mother and daughter took a ‘90s-esque approach to their hair, pairing their sleek black dresses with two very different takes on a red carpet updo. Let’s start with GP, shall we? The Oscar winner's hair was styled by Owen Gould, who prepped her clean, damp hair with Nulastin's NuProtect Leave-In Primer, then blew it dry with a large round brush, softly curling the ends under to frame her face. Once the hair was fully dry, Gould gathered the lengths loosely at the nape of Paltrow's neck and loosely braided it, then left “about three inches” loose and fastened the braid with a long black velvet ribbon. From the front, it looks like she's wearing a loose, low ponytail, one Paltrow might've worn with a Calvin Klein slipdress and mules on a red carpet circa 1996.

However, we're gonna have to go ahead and give this one to Martin, since her head-to-toe look was actually an homage to Paltrow's 1996 Emma premiere look, down to the very same Calvin Klein dress, with the bun ever-so-slightly updated for 2025. Martin went for a more casual vibe than her mom did nearly 30 years ago, skipping the cool-toned smoky eye and brick red lip for peachy blush and minimal eye makeup, plus an effortlessly cool, simple high bun. Her blonde hair was parted subtly to one side and pulled up in a bun with the ends loosely pinned for added volume. Instead of loose, face-framing tendrils, Martin tucked each portion of hair behind her ears, just like Paltrow did in 1996.

Mother and daughter may not be wearing matching black velvet bows like they did for Thanksgiving in 2023, but this mother-daughter moment is equally adorable—definitely one for the family album!
