For her big moment, the Harvard sophomore wore a custom Stéphane Rolland haute couture gown with a dramatic white tulle skirt, sweetheart neckline with puffed, off-the-shoulder sleeves. A gold floral appliqué was included throughout the design.

The young deb kept the evening a family affair, bringing her twin brother, Slater, to act as her cavalier — the male escort who accompanies each debutante.

“I thought it would be less pressure to have my brother and built-in best friend,” she told Hello! ahead of the event.

Parents Bassett, 67, and Vance, 65, were also on hand to witness their daughter’s presentation. The “Black Panther” actress wore a strapless silver Jenny Packham gown, while her “Grotesquerie” star husband looked dapper in a tuxedo for the traditional father-daughter waltz.

“It just feels like you are a princess for one night,” Bronwyn told Elle of the invite-only ball. “It’s a beautiful ceremony to allow girls to feel extremely special for one night. I wanted to be a part of something so beautiful, so spectacular, that I probably won’t be able to experience again.”

Vance, who studies film and sociology at Harvard, was one of about 20 debutantes presented at this year’s ball, joining an illustrious lineup that included fashion royalty and members of the global aristocracy.

Carolina Lansing, the 21-year-old granddaughter of legendary fashion designer Carolina Herrera, wore a black-and-white polka dot strapless gown designed by Wes Gordon. He took over as the brand’s creative director in 2018. The design was a nod to her grandmother’s first runway collection, which she showed in 1981. Lansing’s younger brother, Magnus, served as her cavalier.

Lady Araminta Spencer-Churchill, 18, the daughter of Charles James Spencer-Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, dazzled in a strapless embellished taupe gown by Armani Privé.

The event, deemed the “nepo baby Met Gala” by online commenters, has previously welcomed celebrity offspring, including Lily Collins, Margaret Qualley, Apple Martin, Ava Phillippe, and Lori Harvey.
