Making her debut at the prestigious Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris, Apple, the daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, is drawing attention this year. For Saturday’s exclusive event, the 20-year-old wore a custom Valentino gown that took a remarkable 750 hours to create, as reported by Vogue.
The playful yet elegant dress features six tiers of silk plissé chiffon, elegantly cinched at the waist with a black silk bow. Complementing her light blue gown, Apple chose black strappy Valentino sandals and kept her accessories minimal, allowing the dress to be the centerpiece.

Typically maintaining a low profile, Apple attended the grand event with her entire family, including her 18-year-old brother, Moses. The family all donned Valentino outfits for the lavish evening. Le Bal des Débutantes is an annual ball in Paris that honors the tradition of the 18th-century English debutante ball, which introduces young women to society.
In 1994, Ophélie Renouard established a contemporary version known as “le Bal,” which not only raises funds to support young women but also creates memorable moments for their couture and media debuts, according to its official website. Currently, Apple is a third-year student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
While her future career path remains uncertain, she shares her mother’s passion for beauty and wellness and is even assisting Paltrow behind the scenes at Goop. In an interview with E! News in May, Paltrow, 52, remarked, “She influences everything I do. I run everything by her.”
Paltrow also noted, “I value her opinion so much, and she’s such a product person—especially with makeup, much more so than I am.” “I’m very minimal, so as we go more into color, she’s the person I rely on the most,” she added.
