Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter has celebrated her 16th birthday, and to mark the special occasion, the Hollywood star shared three incredible new photographs of her teenage daughter – and we can't believe how incredibly grown up she looks!

Posing in their living room sofa, Apple can be seen in a flowery mini dress as she models for her mum, who couldn't help but pay her the sweetest tribute in the caption.

"I can’t believe I'm actually writing these words but... happy sweet sixteen my darling girl," she began the post. "You are the light of my heart, you are pure joy. You are wickedly intelligent and you have the best, most dry, most brilliant sense of humor. I have the best time being your mom.

I am so damn lucky to be your mother, you beautiful, kind young woman. Thank you for choosing me. I adore you to the moon and back a zillion times."
