Bronwyn Golden Vance, Apple Martin and More

Bronwyn Golden Vance

Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance were quite the proud parents as they accompanied their daughter Bronwyn Golden to the luxe ball this year. Ahead of the 19-year-old’s grand debut, Le Bal’s official Instagram page shared several photos of Bronwyn (including the above) working on her gown with haute couture designer Stephane Rolland.

Hello! Mag shared footage of Bronwyn in her stunning dress, alongside her parents and twin brother, Slater Josiah. Angela and Courtney were also snapped having a good time on the dance floor during the event.

Carolina Lansing

Carolina Herrera’s granddaughter, Carolina Lansing, was also in attendance for the ball on Nov. 29. The 21-year-old looked radiant in a polka dot, ivory and black gathered mermaid gown from her grandmother’s fashion house.

Sophie Tei Naaki Lee Kodjoe

Nicole Ari Parker‘s 19-year-old daughter Sophie was cheered on by her mom when she made her debut at the Nov. 30, 2025 affair. Per Hello!, Sophie wore a plum-colored gown by Oscar de la Renta for the occasion.

“My heart is soooo full ❤️ A magical night indeed. ✨,” the proud mom captioned an Instagram post showing video clips of her daughter entering the ball with her escort and dancing with dad Boris Kodjoe.

Lucia Sofia Ponti

Sophia Loren‘s 18-year-old granddaughter Lucia, seen here with her parents and grandmother in 2021, stepped out as an honorary debutante at the star-studded event in 2024 wearing a strapless gown by Giorgio Armani Privé, Vogue reported. (See it in Hello! here.)

“I tend to go for dresses or clothes that make me feel confident but also are comfortable to wear,” Lucia told Hello! ahead of the event. “I had looked through other dresses that were featured in Le Bal in previous years, and they all individually represented the girls so beautifully. I just hoped to find a dress that would do the same for me.”

Margaret Qualley

Per WWD, Margaret Qualley, seen here walking for Chanel in 2024, made her debut at the 2012 ball in a beaded Elie Saab gown. (See it here.)

Ava Phillippe

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe‘s daughter dazzled on Nov. 25, 2017, at the 25th annual Bal des Debutantes in Paris, where she was one of 20 young women being introduced to society at the famed event. Dressed in a gold ballgown by Giambattista Valli Haute Couture, she twirled with her escort, Maharaja Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur, to a song from La La Land.

Lauren & Ashley Bush

In 2000, a 16-year-old Lauren Bush (left, niece of George W.) twirled at the ball in a one-of-a-kind Dior creation with a major tiara (see the photo here). Her younger sister, Ashley, was also introduced into society a few years later (pictured here).

Lily Collins

Looking ethereal in white Chanel at the 2007 event, the future Emily in Paris star told the Telegraph, “I’m about to start studying broadcast journalism so I wanted to get the inside scoop on the whole debutante thing. The idea of a traditional ball in a modern-day setting is brilliant. I think I will write something on it for Teen Vogue.”

Lady Tatiana Mountbatten

Speaking to the Telegraph ahead of the 2007 event, then 17-year-old descendant of Lord Mountbatten and the daughter of the Marquess of Milford Haven, the Queen Elizabeth’s cousin, said, “It’s not about the ‘coming out’ into society for me. I’m at boarding school in middle-of-nowhere English countryside and I get to come to Paris to wear haute couture — who could resist?”

Scout & Tallulah Willis

Two of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis‘s daughters were invited to make their debuts in Paris, Scout in 2008 (see her dress here; her class also included Carrie Fisher’s daughter Billie Lourd) and Tallulah in 2011. Proud papa Bruce was in attendance both times, as chaperone (see him with Tallulah here).

Autumn Whittaker

“I really hope I get to keep my dress,” Forest Whitaker’s then-teen daughter told WWD of her Jason Wu gown, which she wore for her debut at the 2009 ball (seen here). The actor, who accompanied his daughter, was “just so excited for her,” he added to the publication.

Francesca Eastwood

Then 17, the daughter of Clint Eastwood and Frances Fisher also debuted at the 2009 ball along with Lady Kitty Spencer, a.k.a. Princess Diana’s niece. (See her dress here.)

Lady Amelia Windsor

Once dubbed “the most beautiful member of the royal family” by Tatler magazine, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth’s cousin Prince Edward stunned in Elie Saab at the 2013 event.

Kyra Kennedy

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter and great niece of the late President John F. Kennedy made her formal debut at the Bal des Debutantes 2013. The then-18-year-old looked radiant in a blue Christian Dior dress. “It’s my first time wearing haute couture so that’s really exciting, and I’m obsessed by the color,” Kyra told the AFP. Romy David, daughter of Seinfeld creator Larry David, also made the list that year.
