Dressed in a stunning sky-blue Valentino Haute Couture gown, Apple Martin stepped into the spotlight with her cavalier, Count Leo Henckel von Donnersmarck, by her side.

As per tradition, the debutantes are paired with distinguished young men, and Leo, the son of filmmaker Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and Christiane Asschenfeldt, showed off his noble Austro-German lineage with charm.

After the formalities, the night turned personal as Apple shared heartwarming moments with her parents.



 

The highlight of the evening had to be Apple's dance with her father, the 'Coldplay' frontman. In a video shared on TikTok by @gala.fr, Chris, dressed in a sleek black tuxedo, shared a tender slow dance with his daughter.
