Gwyneth Paltrow takes fashion advice from her daughter.

The Country Strong star - who topped the best-dressed lists with her Tom Ford cape dress at Sunday night's Oscars - admits seven-year-old Apple's opinion counts for a lot when it comes to dressing for the red carpet.

"My daughter loves a fashion moment. She weighs in very heavily."

Talking about the unusual gown choice, Gwyneth says she was inspired by a similar outfit worn by America's former First Lady, Jackie Onassis. The 39-year-old actress told American talk show The Chew: "I tried on one dress. That was the dress and I thought, 'it's a little different but it's sort of a throwback. I saw a pic of Jackie O in a white dress with a cape and it's been a while since anyone's worn a cape, frankly, except for Superman."

According to People Magazine, Jackie designed the ensemble in question herself for husband John F. Kennedy's inaugural ball in 1961.
