Reporter Maria Noyen shadowed Teale Burrell, one of the debutantes for Le Bal in Paris which is the world’s most exclusive debutante ball. Ophélie Renouard founded Le Bal in 1994 with a mission to resurrect a 200-year-old tradition that started in the UK. In their heyday, debutante balls had one purpose: to parade women in front of the denizens of high society with the aim of finding a suitable marriage partner. The event is now focused on giving back, Renouard told Noyen.
