Finally! We give you the scoop (and photos of all the couture gowns) from the 2011 le Bal des Débutantes at the Hotel de Crillon in Paris
We’ve been scouring the internet for pictures of the girls and gowns from Saturday’s le Bal des Débutantes at the Hotel de Crillon, but international photo agencies are holding tight to their copyrights. However, that hasn’t stopped guests in attendance from sharing their own pictures, and we’ve rounded up some of the best.

They said/We said: Madonna’s second line, Truth or Dare, will launch in 2012
Madonna is like the gift that keeps on giving, and this time around she’s giving to the fashion world. After the success of her Material Girl line with daughter Lola, Madge is launching her own lifestyle brand called Truth or Dare.
The line will be geared towards Madonna’s core constituency of fans, women ages 27–50, and will showcase “the duality of [Madonna’s] image, a power icon intertwined with feminine beauty.” A little tough girl mixed with her recent preference of a more demure style? Sounds perfect.
Next year will bring a fragrance and accessories line, including footwear and handbags, and an intimates collection will later follow—which we assume won’t include any Gaultier-inspired cone bras.
