The Debutante Ball is a tradition that dates back to the 18th century when English ladies were presented in society before the Queen. A custom that was reinvented in 1994 in the French capital. Currently, its main goal is to celebrate “excellence, women’s empowerment and harmony between debutantes and gentlemen around the world.” Likewise, in each edition funds are raised for a charitable cause. It is an invitation-only event and is hosted by Ophelie Renourd.
