Apple Martin is making headlines again with a new photoshoot, following earlier social media criticism over nepotism.
The daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin starred in the latest Self-Portrait campaign, showcasing a variety of striking looks. In one image, she stood in a forest wearing a white silk dress with lace details, a large snake draped around her, blending her adventurous spirit with her elegance. Another shot featured her perched atop a tree in a denim mini dress paired with ballet flats. In a more serene moment, she was photographed on the grass, wearing a trendy polka-dot dress and gazing dreamily into the distance.

Apple Martin Poses For Self-Portrait
While the images are breathtaking, Apple has become the latest celebrity “nepo baby” to face criticism for her rapid ascent in the modeling world.
The 21-year-old has been building her fashion career while pursuing a degree at Vanderbilt University and recently took a moment to address her privilege and share insights into her work ethic.
“I know this is not a normal way to grow up by any means. But my parents did a really good job of instilling in me that I shouldn’t be entitled to anything. I have to work,” she told The Daily Telegraph.
She revealed that she stays grounded by “hanging out with my friends and trying to have a normal college experience makes me feel more normal. That’s how I like to unwind. We’ll sit down and do little guitar-playing sessions; one person will play, and the others will sing. I also love watching reality TV with my friends. There was one day we spent five hours on the couch and just watched old episodes of America’s Next Top Model.”

Apple Martin Faces Backlash Over Nepotism
On Sept. 9, fashion house Self-Portrait announced its collaboration with Apple, unveiling the news through a series of mirror selfies captured by Apple herself.
While the blonde beauty, who faced bullying accusations in 2024, looked stunning, many users on social media took to Self-Portrait’s Instagram comment section to express their thoughts on the brand choosing a nepo baby as the new Miss Self-Portrait.
“NEPO makes me sick,” said one fan. Another user commented, “I’m shocked. A celebrity’s child who wants to be a model.” A third wrote, “Nepotism at its finest.” A fourth commented, “Just another nepo baby.” Someone else sarcastically said, “Another celebrity child being a model. Nepo baby. No way.”
Apple herself took to the brand’s comment section to say, “I am so excited! And so, so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you so much.”
