Apple Martin, Ava Phillippe Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis ; Gregg DeGuire/WireImage The Le Bal des Débutantes is the chance for Hollywood and the world's elite to introduce their darling daughters to society. Le Bal, as it is informally known, was first organized by Ophélie Renouard in 1958. It is meant to celebrate "excellence, the empowering of women, and the harmony between débutantes and cavaliers from all over the world," per a social media statement. Many stars have since watched with pride as their offspring were named debutantes.
