Jak wyglada bal debiutantek w tradycji i obecnie

Amateur film enthusiasts are well aware of the principles behind a debutante ball. According to tradition, in ancient times, aristocrats held an annual event where young women of age were presented in society. These gatherings also served as fundraisers for noble causes. Today, many associate 'debutants' with the series 'Bridgerton.' Each season of the show features characters participating in the presentation of young maidens before Queen Charlotte. This practice has historical roots as it was King George III's court that initiated debutante balls, with Queen Charlotte acting as the hostess. In 1958, Queen Elizabeth II ended this tradition, supposedly influenced by Prince Philip, who aimed for modernization at court. A select few receive invitations to the ball, including the Kwaśniewski's daughter. On the continent, such events are still organized in cities like Vienna and Paris. The Crillon hotel in Paris hosts one of the most famous debutante balls, attended by 23 young ladies from affluent and influential families each year. These attendees may be aristocrats, or daughters of show business or political figures. An ideal debutante is an intelligent, well-mannered young lady, sensitive to the plights of the less fortunate. Despite opinions claiming that debutante balls are outdated, they continue to garner significant interest. Many see no harm in preserving this ancient tradition with a noble purpose, as stated by the ball's organizer, Ophelie Renouard. In 2001, the daughter of the then Polish presidential couple - Aleksandra and Jolanta Kwaśniewski - was invited to the Crillon hotel's Debutante Ball in Paris. Aleksandra reportedly made a spectacular impression at the event, receiving thunderous applause. Her modesty and grace enchanted the guests that evening. She was dressed in a simple, long gown by Ewa Minge's atelier, adorned with crystal flowers. The appearance of the President's daughter was well-received by the attendees. She was accompanied by the French aristocrat Alexis de Bechade, with whom she reportedly had an enjoyable evening. Other attendees at the Debutante Ball included Barbara Berlusconi, Amanda Hearst, Lydia Hearst-Shaw, Vanessa Traina, Victoria Traina, Brazilian princess Paola, and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. The ball reportedly began with a traditional waltz, followed by hours of classical music, transitioning to more contemporary tunes as a gesture to the younger attendees. The last guests left the ballroom at 3 in the morning after a night of dancing. After the eventful night, Aleksandra Kwaśniewski returned to her 'ordinary life.' At the time, the President's daughter was studying psychology at the University of Warsaw. She occasionally reminisces about the ball with humor and detachment, sharing memories on social media.
