Apple Paltrow celebrated her 12th birthday in style surrounded by friends, and her mum Gwyneth couldn't resist sharing snaps of her daughter's big day.
The Shakespeare In Love star hosted a sleepover and birthday brunch in a cabin on Saturday to celebrate Apple's day, with family friend Beyonce and Jay Z's four-year-old daughter Blue Ivy attending the party.
The Goop creator snapped a photo of her daughter smiling with little Blue along with two other unnamed friend, captioning the photo: "Birthday brunch squad #godsistersandbesties".
Fans were quick to point out how similar Apple looks to her mother, with one Instagram user writing: "How gorgeous is Apple!", while another wrote: "Wow!! Your daughter looks just like you. So beautiful!"
The star also shared a photo of Apple from her second birthday to mark the occasion. The close up photo shows the 12-year-old with pink and blue face paint while looking up at the camera, and the 43-year-old captioned the photo: "Happy birthday, Apple Martin, great love of my life."
Gwyneth has recently opened up about how her life has changed after turning 40, revealing that she had to make adjustments in order to be happy. She told Red: "For me there were just a bunch of changes I had to make to really be true to myself and really live my happiness. You have to be brave and make the choice to do that, to truly accept yourself and love yourself and really forgive yourself for your missteps.
"So it's been a long interesting road to get to the place where I feel really content and that I really know myself and like myself. I wish they could teach girls to do this when they are 16 instead of 40, but that's part of life."
