In addition to the Oscar winner, Apple was also joined at the event by her dad and brother Moses Martin, 18. All four wore Valentino designs, Vogue reported.
Apple sported a custom gown incorporating six dégradé tiers of silk plissé chiffon, as well as a black sash and bow at the waist, the magazine said, adding that the garment took Valentino creative director Alessandro Michele's atelier 750 hours to make. Apple paired the look with a pair of matching blue strappy sandals, also from the fashion house.
Since 1994, the annual invitation-only debutante ball introduces about 20 women aged between 16 and 22 from about 12 countries into society. Le Bal des Débutantes "is about the empowerment of young women and young men as well as the harmony of nations," according to its website.
