Apple Martin’s Valentino Dress for Le Bal des Débutantes Took 750 Hours of Work

The young debutante isn’t the only attendee in Valentino this evening: Paltrow graced Le Bal in a look from Valentino’s spring 2025 collection, while Michele also dressed Martin’s father and brother, Moses, in custom tuxedos.

Martin joins a long line of notable young women to make her debut at Le Bal: In recent years, Lily Collins, Ava Philippe, Scout Willis, Margaret Qualley, and Ella Beatty have all entered high society in style. But Apple Martin will always be the first debutante to wear custom Alessandro Michele.
