India, Dec. 2 -- The Le Bal des Debutantes, simply called Le Bal, took place at the Shangri-La Paris hotel on Saturday, November 29. This year, a total of 19 debutantes made their appearance at the event. The annual invite-only debutante ball features young women from international royalty and high society. Originally designed as a traditional debutante ball for finding suitable matches for young women, the annual event was given a makeover by Ophelie Renouard in 1997, as per Hello!. The focus has shifted from the lady's male escort, or cavalier, chosen from a list of the debutantes' brothers, family friends, and boys from Renouard's network, to the women themselves. Among this year's debutantes were Carolina Lansing, who is the granddaughter of designer Carolina Herrera, Bronwyn Golden Vance, the daughter of actors Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance, Jillian Chan, the daughter of actress Sandra Ng and Chinese-Thai director Peter Chan, as well as Gabrielle Janssens de Balkany, the granddaughter of Maria Gabriella of Savoy. Ella Wadia, the great-great-granddaughter of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, German Princess Eugenia von Hohenzollern, and Lady Araminta Spencer-Churchill, the daughter of the 12th Duke of Marlborough, were also part of the event. According to Vanity Fair, while all debutantes wore jewellery by V Muse, Gabrielle Janssens de Balkany wore a pair of diamond earrings that belonged to her grandmother, French princess Maria Theresa of Savoy, with an outfit designed by Italian designer Luisa Beccaria. While Chan chose a sapphire blue-hued Georges Hobeika ensemble, Wadia wore an Elie Saab dress with intricate embellishments, Vance chose a tulle gown made by French haute couturier Stephane Rolland, and Lansing wore a Wes Gordon black and white polka dot gown with a matching sash. Previous invitees of the luxury event include Apple Martin, Lily Collins, and Margaret Qualley, according to a Vogue report.htc...
