Le Bal des Débutantes, also known simply as "le Bal" ( or, previously, the "Crillon Ball "), is a debutante ball and fashionevent held annually in November that brings together 20–25 girls aged 16 to 22 from about a dozen countries.
Since 1992, le Bal has been organised by Ophélie Renouard as an invitation-only couture event. The young women don gowns from haute couture and couture designers, as well as foreign fashion houses. They all wear jewelry from the same jeweler. The débutantes usually come from famous families.
The event raises money for charity; the 2018 Bal supported two organizations. Since 2009, le Bal has supported Enfants d'Asie, which provides education for girls in Southeast Asia. Since 2015 it has also supported Seleni, a non-profit that finances research in healthcare for adolescent mothers.In 2005, Forbes cited it as one of the world 's 10 "hottest parties".
In 1993, the International Herald Tribune stated that "the show itself was centralcasting 's idea of Paris couture – all unswept Carita chignons, solid makeup and the girls plodding out in drop- dead gowns. Yet all seemed as thrilled as Cinderella that someone had waved a mascara wand to give them old-fashioned glamour."For many of the débutantes, le Bal is their introduction to the world of high fashion.
