We all know how glamorous society events can be, but Le Bal des Débutantes really does take the crown. The annual debutante ball is famed for introducing young ladies from royalty, aristocracy, and some of the most influential families in the world as they make their entrance into society.

Since 1997, Ophélie Renouard has orchestrated the event, but the origins of the ball date back to the 18th century. Supremely dressed debs often wearing haute couture, arrive on the arm of their chosen cavalier (a young man who has been picked from a list of brothers, family friends, and or boys from Ophélie's network) and take to the stage to be formally presented to the world.
