“I don’t know how anyone has a problem with us. We are such a delight,” Apple and her friends lip-synched to a voiceover in a video posted by her pal, Ava Crox, on Monday (December 16), the DailyMail reported.
“We are two of the funniest girls and I know us, like offline,” one of her friends lip-synched as the camera cut to Crox. “When I tell you, there aren’t two more caring, charitable, generous, kind…”

At one point during the ball, French Countess Aliénor was having her photo taken when the young model jumped into the frame and struck a few poses, Bored Panda previously reported. Aliénor awkwardly laughed as Apple posed with her hands on her hips.
After a video of the moment went viral, Apple was accused of attempting to steal the spotlight from Aliénor by not waiting her turn to have her photos taken.

However, the French Countess took no offense to the model’s actions, as she told People Magazine that Apple is “genuinely the nicest girl ever.”
“She really doesn’t deserve an ounce of what she’s getting,” she said. “She was the nicest girl ever towards not only me but all the debs!”
Apple attended the ball with her parents, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Her date for the high society debut was Count Leo Henckel von Donnersmarck of the Austro-Hungarian noble family House of Henckel von Donnersmarck.

Apple stunned in a strapless light blue Valentino gown with a black bow in the front which reportedly took 750 hours to make.
Aliénor, who was joined by Count Rodolphe de Hemricourt Grunne of Belgium, donned a black lace Emanuel Ungaro dress.
Also in attendance were Sophia Loren’s granddaughter Lucia Ponti, Nicole Ari Parker’s daughter, Sophie Kodjoe, and Apollonie Halard, the daughter of Vogue contributor Miranda Brooks and architect Bastien Halard.

Another deb who completely captured the Internet’s attention was 18-year-old Peyton Spaht, who comes from one of the wealthiest families in San Francisco.
The young woman wore a Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda dress with a printed skirt, one of the most extravagant looks at the ball and a reflection of her passion for art. Her cavalier was French Prince Constantin d’Orléans.
Peyton was seen posing with Apple after netizens said she was “stealing the attention” from the model. In a post on Payton’s TikTok, the débutantes leaned into the camera together and made kissy faces, with Apple sticking her tongue out to the side at the end, the DailyMailreported.

The debs, aged between 17 and 21 years old, were chosen from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the US to celebrate tradition, philanthropy, and style, all while raising funds for charity, as per Hello! Magazine.
This year, the focus of the fund-raising event was shared between two charities: the cardiology research unit ARCFA of Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital, which improves the quality of care for children with heart defects all over the world, and the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, which provides advanced pediatric care, Hello! Magazine reported.
