Le Bal des Débutantes, also known as "le Bal" (or, previously, the "Crillon Ball"), is a debutante ball and fashion event held annually in November in Paris. It brings together between 20 and 25 debutantes aged 16 to 22 from many countries.
It is based on the original social event which was first held in the Orangery of the Château de Versailles on 10 July 1958 but then canceled in 1968.
