TheIron Manstar, 52, wore a Valentino look as well, hers from the house’s spring 2025 collection. Paltrow dressed in a black gown with a sheer overlay and delicate white polka dots. The long sleeves, skirt and high neck were covered in ruffles that complemented Apple’s ruffled dress and black bow detail..

Paltrow also wore her blonde hair tied up in a low bun, a rare style for her. Usually the goop founder can be seen with her hair worn down and straight around her face. In contrast, Apple wore her hair in that exact style for the evening, though she later tied it up into a messy bun atop her head.

Both Apple’s dad,Chris Martin, and brother, Moses Martin, who were also in attendance, were dressed in Valentino as well. They both wore custom tuxes, according toVogue. Paltrow’s mom, Blythe Danner, also came along for the special weekend.
