Le Bal 2004 was held at the Hotel de Crillon. Bee Shaffer, daughter of US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, was wearing Chanel, and Mikhail Gorbachev’s granddaughter, Anastasia, Versace, alongside Eleonore, a descendant of the French Cardinal de Bernis, in Ralph Rucci. Anna Klossowska de Rolla, grand daughter of the painter Balthus, was dressed by her mother: Loulou de la Falaise and Alexandra Mentzelopoulos, whose family owns the “grand cru” chateau Margaux, was in Givenchy.
Le Bal was in aid of the charity ACV Development, which funds research into vaccines for AIDS and cancer.
Mikimoto provided the jewellery for the Debs.
