Their names are Eleanor, Lucia, Marilia and Sienna. And this evening, they are “making their debut into the world” – as they used to say – wearing for the occasion the creations of big names in couture, such as Elie Saab, Dior or Oscar de la Renta. Time passes but Paris will always be Paris… And the “Bal des Deb'” a unique event, like a waking dream. Among the surprises of this 30e edition, the participation of Apple Martin, the daughter of the actress and entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, the singer of the group Coldplay, radiant in Valentino. Until the last minute, doubt hovered over his arrival…
But the mysterious Californian is not the only one to shine. Another sensation: Eugénie de Bourbon, daughter of Prince Louis-Alphonse de Bourbon, Duke of Anjou, and Marguerita Vargas Santaella, dressed as Carolina Herrera, a tribute to her Venezuelan origins, and wearing a spectacular tiara. The princess makes her entrance on the arm of another big name of the elite: Charles-Constantin of Habsburg-Lorraine, son of Archduke Georg, for whom this is not the first participation since he already served as chaperone, the last year, to his sister Ildiko.
