With two major campaigns for Self-Portrait and Gap under her belt, Apple Martin is back to work, this time starring in a Chloé campaign. The 21-year-old daughter of celebrity exes Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin looks sun-kissed as the face of the fashion house’s pre-fall 2026 collection, “Chloé à la Plage.” In a press release, creative director Chemena Kamali said the campaign, shot by David Sims, is “an ode to a surreal summer fantasy … that dreamlike state and the poetry of summer.” Of Chloé’s latest nepo-baby muse, Kamali added, “Apple, with her radiance and timeless beauty, draws us into this feeling in the most natural way.”
In one image, Martin poses in front of a seashell, seemingly invoking Sandro Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. Elsewhere, she wears a cockatoo-printed swimsuit while eating a slice of citrus, sniffs flowers, and pouts while sitting on the floor with a Chloé bag tucked under her arm. Dressed in the house’s usual flowy silhouettes, Martin joins an elite list of Chloé girls including Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, Claudia Schiffer, and Bella Hadid.

Congratulations to Martin, who has not only become a bona fide model by the time she reached legal drinking age but is doing it all while enrolled at Vanderbilt University, where she is reportedly an “English and law, history, and society” major. That’s cool because when I was 21, I was falling asleep in lecture halls and drinking questionable blue cocktails at sorority mixers. Color me impressed.
Stay in touch.
