While Americans were eating their weekend away for the Thanksgiving holiday, a group of young ladies descended upon Paris. This past Sunday marked the 19th annual “Le Bal des Debutantes” at the tony Hotel Crillon in Paris. Each year, 25 debutantes – typically with some type of celebrity connection – debut in meters of haute couture for charity. The young women are escorted by male chaperones known as Cavaliers. The belle of the ball was Lady Kitty Spencer – the niece of the late Princess Diana of Wales and the daughter of Viscount Spencer. The other debutantes included a fashion designer, an Indian princess, an actor’s daughter, and a student among others. The Crillon Ball is a fairy tale in reality while in the United States we eat & watch sports to make merry.
