Steve And Marjorie Harvey's Kids Were The Only Black Attendees At This Exclusive Paris Ball That Costs $22k A Ticket

A ball only for the rich and famous.

20-year-old Lori Harvey has the millennial's dream trifecta: rich, famous, and now a debutante!

Chaperoned by her fashionable mother, Marjorie Harvey, and escorted by her stepbrother, Wynton Harvey (20), Lori stunned many with her great poise and style while walking into Saturday’s (Nov. 25) 25th annual le Bal des Débutantes in Paris.

Launched in 1992 by Ophélie Renouard, the debutante ball joins young women (aged 16-22) from around the world to debut to society. 

Usually the 20-25 young women invited to attend are selected from famous families known for their contributions to arts, politics, and business. Want to attend? You need to be able to pay the entry fee, which was priced at $22,000 in 2016 according to PageSix.

Making the cut with affluent parents, Marjorie and Steve Harvey, Lori was among the six American debutantes being introduced to society.

"So proud of the adults you’ve both become," proud father Steve Harvey shared on his Instagram.

What grace! We are happy to see that not only is Lori fashionable, but also charitable, as the event was also for good cause.

Benefiting the Seleni Institute, a New York-based center for women’s mental health, and Enfants d’Asie, which provides education for girls in Southeast Asia, the event looked as if it went without a hitch.

Absolutely stunning! Per tradition, Lori donned haute couture with a fashionable black Elie Saab dress with a plunging neckline and feather details. 

Now that's some major #blackgirlmagic!
