No, sweetie, not in an acting role. Classic WASP fuckery: a society "debut," as in debutante. (I'm also assuming whomever wrote the phrase "ski trial-winner Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé-Bruno-Mars opening act Chris Martin" must surely be a DLer.)

And now for a sentence so rich that you’ll feel poorer just for reading it: Apple Martin made her debut into society at 2024’s Le Bal des Débutantes on December 1. Martin is the 20-year-old daughter of ski trial-winner Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé-Bruno-Mars opening act Chris Martin. Le Bal des Débutantes is an annual event in which young women get to put on haute couture and dance. This event has everything: Insane European names, mean girl allegations, and, through it all, beautiful enigma Apple Martin lived her rich, wealthy life. Congrats and thank you to her. We will accept what charity we can get (living vicariously through her).
Le Bal des Débutantes is a yearly ball held in Paris where young girls get to show their “individuality,” per Vogue. That basically means that some girls wore ostentatious and gaudy dresses, which we are of course in favor of. (This year, we particularly hate-love the white and black two-piece.) Celeb kids you might know who previously attended include: Lily Collins, in a white feather-lace-and-crystal-bedecked gown in 2007; Margaret Qualley, who wore a sheer and brown number in 2012; and Ava Phillippe, who was in a full-coverage gold dress that would be perfect for only this or as a costume for a glamorous governess, in 2017.
Apple Martin wore a custom blue Valentino dress with tiers that, according to Vogue, took 750 hours to make. We kind of hoped that she’d wear Ralph Lauren a la her mother’s most famous “a star is born” moment at the Oscars, but why would a child of celebrities invite more parental comparisons? She’s already got all the attention anyway.
