Gwyneth Paltrow recently traveled to Mexico for a beach vacation during the Christmas holidays, joined by her children, Apple, 19, and Moses Martin, 17, from her marriage with Coldplay’s Chris Martin. The 51-year-old founder of Goop shared photos of their vacation with her children’s consent, and Apple is drawing comparisons to a famous Hollywood actress.
Typically, Apple is seen as a younger version of her mother, with their similar blonde hair and charming smiles. However, on Paltrow’s Instagram, fans are noting Apple’s resemblance to French actress Brigitte Bardot. Bardot, now 89, retired in 1973 but remains a significant figure in popular culture, known for her role in the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
One particular photo of Apple, bathed in a warm light, has garnered attention (it’s the third image in Paltrow’s Instagram carousel). Apple, with her hair styled like Bardot, is captured in a thoughtful pose, looking serene as her wavy hair frames her face. Even Katy Perry, a friend of Paltrow, commented on the resemblance to Bardot, suggesting that Apple could portray the actress in a biopic.
Paltrow expressed admiration for Apple in a recent Bustle interview. She highlighted Apple’s interest in makeup and being attuned to contemporary trends, avoiding the more negative aspects of culture. Paltrow takes pride in Apple being a genuinely kind person with strong values, a trait any parent would cherish.
