Gwyneth Paltrow's lookalike daughter Apple Martin looked the double of her famous mother as she posed in a red bikini with friends on Instagram on Friday. 

The 21-year-old looked incredible in the triangle two-piece as she posed in a car wearing a seatbelt days after graduating college. 

Styling her blonde tresses loose, Apple pouted for the camera as she enjoyed some downtime after completing her studies.  

It comes as Apple modelled a cap and gown before graduating from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.

The nepo baby took to Instagram last week to share the news as she commented the milestone is 'a bittersweet moment.'

Her Oscar-winning mother Gwyneth said she was 'SO proud!!' as she hit the like button.

Vanderbilt University's 2026 commencement ceremonies will take place on May 7–8, 2026, with the main undergraduate ceremony held on Friday, May 8, at FirstBank Stadium.

She began studying at Vanderbilt in 2022 and is majoring in Law, History and Society. Though she has pursued theater as a member of the Vanderbilt Original Cast and has directed student productions, she is not a drama major.

Apple has also secured a top Hollywood agent at powerhouse agency CAA.

The beauty has already secured modeling gigs for The Gap and self-portrait.

Last year, Apple told Interview Magazine how she loves theater 'more than anything'.

'I would love to do theater because I adore it so much. I’ve obviously never done film before, but I’ve been trying to get involved in student films. I was born a theater kid.'

Speaking of her prior plans of going into law school, she explained to Vogue: 'I was in that rebellious "I don't wanna be like my parents" type of phase.'

She also clarified that she does not want to be a musician like her famous dad.

'I don't wanna be a singer. I like musical theater, but getting onstage by yourself to sing is so terrifying, I love dancing and I love acting. My dream is to act.'

Apple made headlines after it was claimed that she had been expelled from school for bullying - allegations she later denied.

Addressing the claims on Instagram, she said: 'Hi! I didn't wanna respond but this narrative is completely false and has gotten so out of hand. I have never been expelled from any school, especially not for bullying anyone.

'I completely understand ppl not liking me and that is okay! The internet is a place where ppl can share their opinions. [sic]

'But this rumor is completely untrue, I am not that type of person and anyone who is close to me knows that.'

The school costs $67,000 a year.  

Apple's mother was the person who publicly announced in 2022 that her mini-me teenager was beginning college.

'My daughter went to college in the fall,' began the blonde, Apple's father is Coldplay rocker Chris Martin; the two finalized their divorce in 2016.

Gwyneth also said that it was hard on her emotionally to say farewell to little Apple when she first started college.
