A Night of Glamour and Legacy at Le Bal des Débutantes 2025
So let me walk you through what unfolded at this year’s Le Bal des Débutantes—a night that felt like stepping straight into a modern fairytale. Anticipation had already been building for weeks on TikTok, with people guessing who would attend and what they might wear. And when the big evening finally arrived at the opulent Shangri-La Hotel in Paris, it absolutely lived up to its reputation as the Met Gala for the next generation of royals, heiresses, and Hollywood descendants.
As always, the debutantes and their families arrived in Paris during Thanksgiving week to prepare—dance rehearsals, fittings, makeup trials, and, of course, choosing their glittering V Muse diamond pieces. One of the most anticipated debuts came from Carolina Lansing, granddaughter of the iconic designer Carolina Herrera. She appeared in a dramatic black-and-white polka-dot gown by Wes Gordon, complete with a sculpted skirt and oversized bow. She shared that the dress was intentionally designed as a tribute to her grandmother’s first runway collection, making the moment even more emotional. Her jewelry added another layer of sentiment—a ribbon choker topped with a sapphire-and-diamond brooch that immediately reminded her of her late grandfather.

Hollywood wasn’t left out either. Bronwyn Golden Vance, daughter of Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance, opened the festivities with a father-daughter dance that set a warm and elegant tone for the night. She floated across the ballroom in an ethereal ivory Stéphane Rolland gown, highlighted with golden accents, while her twin brother Slater served as her cavalier. For her, the evening felt like a rare opportunity to meet ambitious young women from around the world—a moment she described as something truly special.
Fashion, naturally, became its own spectacle. Eliza Lindroth turned heads in a sculptural sequin Rick Owens design. Ruby Kemper brought a pop of youthful glamour in a pastel pink Chrome Hearts gown with a daring slit. Sarah Bae shimmered in ruched silver Oscar de la Renta tulle, while Jillian Chan chose a rich cobalt creation by Georges Hobeika. Even royalty added their flair—Princess Eugenia von Hohenzollern dazzled in a paillette-covered black gown, while Lady Araminta Spencer-Churchill and Princess Eulalia Orleans Borbon each showcased couture pieces paired with impressive tiaras.
Despite all the pomp, Le Bal’s deeper purpose remained front and center. The event raised funds for two major pediatric cardiology causes—one in Paris and another in New York. After the emotional presentation of the debutantes, the ballroom shifted from waltzes to contemporary pop, with Dua Lipa and the Spice Girls bringing everyone onto the dance floor. Before long, tiaras were swapped for sneakers, gowns were carefully lifted off the ground, and the night spilled into a lively after-party.
In the end, even amid all the luxury and lineage, the heart of the event felt surprisingly universal—shared excitement, new friendships, proud families, and the joy of celebrating a milestone together.
