Twenty-year-old Barnard College student Syra Kanwar was selected as the sole Indian debutante for Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris this November.
The Apollo Tyres heiress will wear a custom red ball gown designed by Lebanese couturier Georges Hobeika for the charity gala.
Kanwar will be accompanied by her brother Jai as her cavalier, continuing a legacy of prominent Indian participants at the international event.
