Le Bal 2015, only two weeks after the terrorist attacks in Paris, was a special one. Held at the Palais de Chaillot, in partnership with Renault cars, it featured American student Olivia Hallisey – who won the Google Science Fair for developing a test to detect the Ebola virus. She was dressed by Giambattista Valli. There were also the Lebanese twin sisters, Kareen and Natalia Fares, in Ralph and Russo, the German twins, Countesses Sarah and Victoria von Faber-Castell in Stephane Rolland and Zara, the first Deb from Nepal, in Alexander McQueen.
le Bal raised money for Seleni and Enfants d’Asie.
2015 marked the beginning of le Bal’s 5 year relationship with jeweller brand Payal New York.
