Apple Martin and more attend the lavish Le Bal de Débutantes in Paris
Nepo babies were on display at the opulent Le Bal de Débutantes.
RadarOnline.com can reveal that Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple Martin, along with Sophia Loren’s granddaughter and heirs to French nobility, were among the few honored at the famous event in Paris, France.
Dripping in haute couture and thousands of dollars’ worth of jewelry, the ladies made their “debut” into society at the star-studded affair on Saturday, November 30, at the Shangri-La Hotel.
Apple, 20, wore a Cinderella blue strapless Valentino dress — which was said to have taken 750 hours to make — with layers of playful silk pleated chiffon and a black oversized bow, according to Fashion.
Both Paltrow, 52, and Martin, 47, were there to support their daughter, who is currently attending Vanderbilt University.
A video captured from the invitation-only event captured a sweet moment between Apple and Martin as they danced in the beautifully decorated ballroom, which glowed in subtle warm light, while black hats adorned with whimsical feathers hung delicately from the ceiling .
Loren’s granddaughter, Lucia Sofia Ponti, also belonged to the Le Bal de Débutantes 2024 class.
Ponti opted for an Armani dress in tribute to the legendary Italian actress, which she paired with a diamond and emerald choker necklace.
Apollonie “Poppy” Halard, the daughter of Vogue contributor Miranda Brooks and architect Bastien Halard, was also a prominent debutante. She wore an ivory Schiaparelli dress, complete with a dramatic black train.
Other notable attendees included HRH Princess Eugenia de Borbon Vargas, Countess Alienor Loppin de Montmort, Ella Yam, Peyton Spaht, Rysa Panday, Sofia Yadigaroglu, Oona Finch, Isabel Quirot de Poligny, Cornelia Manou, Sienna Galliennem and Mina Muniz Tschape.
Prior to the start of the event, the debutantes posed for photos on the balcony of the Shangri-La Hotel, with the Eiffel Tower providing the iconic backdrop for the shots.
Others posed on a grand staircase wearing tiaras from V Muse.
Although the event was described by last year’s attendee and TikTok star Lara Cosima von Donnersmark as “the Met Gala for teens,” the event also serves as a charity function.
This year, Le Bal supported two causes: the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in the US and the “ARCFA” or Association of Cardiology Research from Fetus to Adult, which serves to improve the quality of care for children with heart defects in Necker-Enfants Malades . .
