Diamond of the Ball 2025

I'm late to posting this for Bal des Debutantes in Paris 2025 because I almost didn't want to pick a winner because I felt like all the fashion choices were weird this time. It's like everyone borrowed a gown from their great aunt's closet or something. At first, you would think Carolina Herrera granddaughter's polka dot gown would be the best, but she messed it up with the hair....uhm flipped hair was 2024. Feels outdated here. It dawned on me that the hair does make a big difference for overall look. The hairdo that really stood out for me was Alice Wang and Eirini Zarifi perfect bangs up-do...

The hair is on-point, but Eirini's dress was too mother-of-the-bride-y, 
so the diamond of the ball title goes to....

Alice Wang! Daughter of BYD founder Chuanfu Wang and Stella Li.
Her jewel-tone magenta Vera Wang gown popped out of the crowd---she looks like the cool rebel of the group. I also loved that she kept the jewelry minimal and had on a ribbon floral choker, which is different. 

The backside with the cascading petals looks pretty spectacular too:

Yep, the dress stood out of the crowd here:
What are your thoughts for 2025 fashion here?
