The Daughters Of Jet Li And Chingmy Yau Looked Gorgeous At Their Debutante Ball In Paris

The Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris is one of the world’s most exclusive and talked-about society events and is held on Thanksgiving weekend every year. It’s also known as Les Bal, and only young ladies from the world’s richest, most famous and influential families are invited to make their “debut” into high society. Last year’s debutantes included Annabel Yao, whose dad owns Huawei, and Julia McCaw, who is the daughter of the founder of telecommunications giant AT&T.

This year, Shum Yuet, the 18-year-old daughter of ’90s screen goddess Chingmy Yau, and Jane Li, the 19-year-old daughter of action superstar Jet Li, were invited to be debutantes at the chi-chi event. And of course the two stars were there at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris to see their girls make their society debut in haute couture.

Shum Yuet, whose dad is Hongkong fashion tycoon Sham Kar Wai, was absolutely stunning in her Georges Hobeika gown and looks to have inherited her mum’s star quality.

A youthful-looking Jet was said to be in good spirits the whole night and even shared a father-daughter dance with Jane.

Interestingly, when it was time for the group shot, Jane was positioned front and centre of the group while Shum Yuet was relegated to a corner. This year’s debutantes also include Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Indian actor Sanjay Kapoor, Victoria and Cristina Iglesias, the twin daughters of Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, as well as an actual princess: Princess Maria Carolina de Bourbon des Deux Siciles from Italy.
