Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter, Apple, is stepping into the spotlight at this year’s Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris.
The 20-year-old wore a custom Valentino dress that took 750 hours to make for Saturday’s invite-only event, according to Vogue.
The fun yet sophisticated gown features six tiers of silk plissé chiffon and is cinched at the waist with a black silk bow.

6 She paired the baby blue gown with black, strappy Valentino sandals and minimal accessories, letting the dress do all the talking.
Apple, who usually stays out of the spotlight, was set to attend the grand event alongside her entire family, including her 18-year-old brother, Moses. They all sported Valentino looks for the opulent evening.
The Le Bal des Débutantes is an annual ball held in the French capital and is based on the 18th-century English tradition of the débutante ball, which introduces young women to society.

6 Ophélie Renouard invented a modern version of the débutante ball in 1994, called “le Bal,” which raises money to help young women and serves as an “unforgettable moment of their couture and media premières,” per its official site.
Apple is currently a third-year student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.
Though her career plans are unclear, she adopted her mother’s love for beauty and wellness and is even helping her behind the scenes at Goop.
