The debutante ball – where the next young crop women are freshened up, and presented to “polite society”.

To most, the debutante ball is an outdated, misogynistic celebration of sexism, but Americans still dig it.

The latest big name to be introduced at a debutante ball is Kyra Kennedy, daughter of Robert Kennedy Jr. and great-niece to the late President John F. Kennedy himself. She made her formal debut at the Bal Des Débutantes 2013 in Paris this weekend.

The ball, held at the Hôtel de Crillon, saw over 20 “debs” introduced to society in the most glamorous couture while their parents watched on.

 Though it sounds parochial and narrow-minded, the Bal Des Débutantes was actually quite an international affair. Lady Amelia Windsor, the granddaughter of one of Queen Elizabeth II’s cousins Francesca Packer Barham, also made her debut, as did Rebecca Eu, daughter of Singapore business scion Richard Eu.
