- Social Media Reacts To Gwyneth Paltrow’s 20-Year-Old Daughter Making Her Debut As A Beauty Influencer: ‘Thanks To Nepotism’ (shefinds.com)
Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter, Apple Martin, 20, is the latest celebrity offspring to face online criticism for allegedly benefiting from nepotism. Martin recently appeared at a New York Fashion Week kickoff party for Hourglass Cosmetics, sparking debate about her qualifications as a beauty influencer.
Many online commenters questioned her experience in the beauty, fashion, or entertainment industries, suggesting her famous mother paved the way for this opportunity.
At the event, Martin posed with actress Eiza Gonzalez, model Amelia Gray Hamlin, and Hourglass founder Carisa Janes. She wore a black slip dress and the brand’s new red lip gloss.
Critics online not only questioned her presence at the event but also criticized her posing. Some called her poses awkward and unnatural. Others sarcastically questioned her qualifications, with one commenter asking, “If there are no rich and famous parents, who is this Apple, even?”
This isn’t the first time Martin has faced online backlash. Last November, a video from the Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris showed her stepping in front of another debutante during a photo opportunity. The incident drew criticism, with many labeling her behavior as entitled.
