Angela Bassett’s Daughter Bronwyn Makes Debutante Debut

by

Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance‘s daughter had a royal evening outside of Wakanda.

I was so thrilled to see Bronwyn Golden Vance make her debut at Le Bal des Debutantes in Paris on November 29th! It’s such an exclusive event, and she was among princesses, the daughters of incredibly successful people, and even some Hollywood stars. It was a truly magical night for her.

At the prestigious Le Bal, the 19-year-old turned heads in a beautiful ivory tulle gown with delicate gold accents. The dress, created by renowned French designer Stéphane Rolland, was completed with pearl earrings and a gold necklace.

This year’s Thanksgiving was a bit unusual for the family. Her twin brother, Slater Vance, dressed in a formal tailcoat tuxedo like their father, acted as her escort for the evening.

At the event, 65-year-old Courtney shared a touching dance with his daughter, Bronwyn, in the beautiful ballroom of the Shangri-La Paris hotel. Angela also looked delighted, wearing a shimmering silver dress as she enjoyed time with her daughter.

The actress from 9-1-1 said she was initially taken aback when she was offered the role. In an interview with Hello! Magazine published on November 29th, she explained that the offer came as a surprise.

She admitted it was unusual to be chosen to speak on a global platform at her age, but stressed she wasn’t worried at all. She was simply overjoyed by her daughter’s enthusiasm.

According to the 67-year-old, Bronwyn is a kind and considerate person. She’s naturally calm and makes others feel comfortable, no matter the circumstances.

The Harvard student first learned about debutante balls through a family friend. Then, the organizer of Le Bal, Ophélie Renouard, contacted her family and extended an invitation to the gala.

Bronwyn told the publication she was drawn to the event because of her love for fashion and the chance to feel glamorous. She also knew previous participants were involved, which reassured her it would be a fantastic experience.

Le Bal is known for its lavish parties, but Bronwyn—who attended her first event with Carolina Herrera’s daughter, Carolina Lansing, Lady Araminta Spencer-Churchill, and others—believes the experience is about more than just appearances.

In a recent interview with Vogue, a young attendee described Le Bal as a unique opportunity to connect with accomplished women her age from around the globe. She explained that it’s special to share such a memorable evening with peers who are also navigating the transition to adulthood, and to build friendships with women who share similar goals.

She went on to say that even though everyone is unique, this experience is a wonderful opportunity to grow and meet new people—something many don’t get to do. She feels very grateful for the chance.

Now, give a curtsy and keep reading for more celebs and their mini-me kids.
