Apple of my eye! Gwyneth Paltrow posts gushing tribute to daughter and approves of her idol Taylor Swift who doesn't get 'naked on the red carpet'

The Apple clearly didn't fall very far from the tree.

Gwyneth Paltrow has posted a gushing tribute to her 11-year-old daughter on Instagram.

To mark International Girls Day, the 43-year-old uploaded a couple of snaps of her eldest to Instagram.

In one, the nimble youngster shows off an impressive handstand; the other sees mom and daughter beaming happily into the camera on the beach in a sunny double selfie.

In both pics, the pre-teen in the spitting image of her actress mother.

'Today, on #InternationalGirlsDay I encourage us all to nurture, support, love and empower all of the girls in our lives,' the Iron Man star captioned one.

'Let us have the strength to let them emerge as who they are meant to be. Let's selflessly pass down any wisdom we have been fortunate enough to accumulate thus far,' she added. 'And most of all let's just get the heck out of their way, this next generation is going to change everything. 

'Apple Martin, thank you for being my number one girl, the girl who inspires me to be my best every day of my life. #whoruntheworld'

On Friday, the mother of two revealed that she was relieved Apple had chosen Taylor Swift as an idol.

'She loves Taylor Swift, and for me, that's such a great sign,' she said. 'Taylor is a girl who's incredibly talented. She writes her own music. She's not naked on the red carpet.

'She's an incredibly astute businesswoman, so with role models like that, [Apple] can't go wrong.'

The Goop founder was being honoured during the Variety Power of Women luncheon for her work with LA Kitchen, which distributes leftover food from restaurants to needy Los Angeles residents. 

She said that it was an exciting time for women, and pointed out how much things had changed between her and Apple's generation.

Show some skin in a thigh slit skirt like Gwyneth

Gwyneth Paltrow chose an ethereal look when she donned an all white ensemble to attend the Variety Power Of Women event in Beverly Hills.

The Mortdecai star wore a long sleeve blouse and knee length skirt from Brandon Maxwell's Spring 2016 collection. The silky creation had a thigh high slit that put the blonde beauty's slender pins on display and she teamed it with a pair of nude pointy toe pumps.

Lady Gaga's stylist turned designer showed his first collection at NYFW and the quirky singer has been wearing pieces from the line ever since. We can't wait to see who else turns up in Brandon Maxwell's perfectly tailored designs.

'I really think that that generation is going to do something very special,' she said. 'Those girls, they are so in their power. They are absolutely shameless in terms of their femininity, and I think we're on the verge of something really exciting.' 

'It is possible to be a woman who is intelligent, thoughtful, articulate and vicious, while being a woman who is maternal, nurturing, sexual and for other women. I believe that we are those fully integrated women. I know my daughter will be that woman,' she continued. 

'When I was a young woman in Hollywood, if you were a woman focused on building your career, you were labeled, 'ambitious,' and it was a bad word,' she added. 'It was said with disgust.'
