Gwyneth Paltrow shares a candy second with son Moses Martin, 18, forward of daughter Apple stealing the present as she dazzled at her Debutante Ball in Paris

Gwyneth Paltrow shared a sweet moment with son Moses, 18, ahead of her daughter Apple stealing the show at her Debutant Ball in Paris over the weekend.

The daughter of the A-lister and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin made her debut into society at the Le Bal des Débutantes at the Shangri-La, where she dazzled in a Valentino Haute Couture gown and mingled with eligible date Count Leo Henckel von Donnersmarck.

But while all eyes were on her only daughter at the glitzy event, Gwyneth, 52, ensured she spent quality time with her boy too as she joined him and her mother Blythe Danner at the Fondation Louis Vuitton art gallery in the French capital.

Gwyneth posted a sweet snap of the three of them together among a carousel of images of her Instagram, with the family looking in great spirits as they enjoyed a cultural day out together.

Meanwhile. Moses’ father Chris, 47, who accompanied them on the trip, was also seen sharing a moment with his boy as the two were pictured sitting side-by-side on a park bench.

The Yellow hitmaker placed an affectionate hand on Moses’ head as they looked out onto the green together. 

Later in the weekend, the whole family dressed to impress as they supported  Apple at her Debutant’s Ball, where she enjoyed a fun dance with her famous father. 

Gwyneth and Chris, who consciously uncoupled back in 2014, welcomed son Moses in April 2006, two years after having his older sister. 

Apple looked sensational at her ball as she was twirled around by Coldplay frontman Chris – who looked every inch the doting father as he pulled her in close for a cuddle and a kiss on the cheek. 

Gwyneth, who was clad in a sheer tulle gown with polka dot detailing, watched on proudly before sweeping Apple in for a cuddle. 

Apple was in high demand on the evening, with her date Count Leo – who comes from Austro-Hungarian noble family House of Henckel von Donnersmarck – also taking her for a spin around the dance floor. 

As is tradition, the debutants are paired up with a ‘cavalier’ who are often young men from similarly distinguished backgrounds, to make their grand entrance at the ball. 

Leo is the son of film director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and Christiane Asschenfeldt, the first International Executive Director of Creative Commons. 

He is the descendant of a large and noble Austro-German family who were central figures of the 2nd Industrial Revolution, spearheading technological innovations like mild steel puddling metal factories, three-high rolling mills and soda-pulping in Germany.

Aside from his family connections, little is known about Apple’s date, who has just one Instagram post which he captioned ‘Paris and Rome’ showing a series of snaps captured in whimsical Marie Antoinette-esque homes.

Last year, Leo’s sister Countess Lara Cosima made her debut at the prestigious event. 

Apple looked sensational in her glamorous frock which featured six tiers of silk plissé chiffon and was cinched Martin’s small waist with a black silk bow.

The dress, designed by Valentino’s Alessandro Michele, took 750 hours of hard work to complete.

The look was finished with a pair of strappy Valentino sandals. 

Apple’s brother Moses and her dad were reported to be wearing custom tuxedos designed by Michele for them. 

During the ball, many people were left shocked by Apple’s behavior after a clip emerged of her stealing the spotlight from another girl who was having her picture taken.

The other debutante was seen taking her turn posing for the camera when Apple appeared from behind and sashayed into the shot.

Posing with her hands on her hips, Apple edged her way into the frame – forcing the other girl out.

The debutante could do nothing but look on with an awkward laugh, as Apple proceeded to pout and pose for several photos.

Eventually, she finished and stepped out of the way – almost cutting off another debutante who is waiting for her turn for a picture in the process. 

The move did not go down well on social media after the footage, taken by French outlet Paris Match, was shared on TikTok.

However, not everyone was bothered and some even suggested that the Martin and the other debutante know each other.

In fitting with tradition, each of the young women attending the event at the Hotel Shangri-La in Paris ‘presented’ at Le Bal will be accompanied by a young man, known as a chevalier. 

Debutantes on the list of attendees include European royalty as well as the daughters of A-list celebrities. Ava Philippe, 25, the daughter of Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe, attended in 2017. Emily in Paris star, Lily Collins, 35, made her debut in 2007.
