Ball of Tatler magazine: debutante beauties and social guests. Ball of Tatler magazine: debutante beauties and social guests Gorgeous guest dresses

Once a year, the glossy magazine Tatler organizes a real social event - the Debutante Ball. Young maidens go out into the world for the first time. The first ball took place seven years ago, and since then such events have been held annually.
This year, 12 girls who are about to enter adulthood have become “prom princesses.” They circled the parquet floor in magical, carefully selected outfits, which they ordered from the most famous fashion houses in Russia and Europe. The preparation for the event itself lasted more than six months: the young ladies learned the intricacies of high society etiquette, learned dances, and selected evening dresses. extraordinary accessories- and all for the sake of one, but such an important day for them!
As last year, the debutante ball was held in the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions. The musical accompaniment of the evening was provided by the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia under the direction of People's Artist of the USSR Vladimir Spivakov. And this time the master of ceremonies was the wife of maestro Sati Spivakova, which made the event even more family-friendly.

A real ball!

Guests of the debutante ball

In addition to the debutantes themselves (we will talk about them separately), invited guests also came to the social event - stars of show business, cinema and theater. Rapper Basta, who can often be seen in a tracksuit or jeans, was at the ball in a formal tuxedo with a bow tie. He was accompanied that evening by his wife Elena Pinskaya and two daughters - seven-year-old Maria and four-year-old Vasilisa. There was no trace left of the brutality of Vasily Vakulenko (that’s what the famous rapper is called “in the world”) when she, one of the girls, stuffed her Barbie doll into her dad’s tuxedo pocket and strictly ordered him not to lose it. So the plastic beauty sat in Basta’s pocket all evening.

Yana Rudkovskaya came to the Ball with four year old son Sasha. The boy happily posed for society photographers.
Galina Yudashkina arrived at the ball with her husband Pyotr Maksakov. The young parents left their little son, one-year-old Anatoly, at home with a nanny. Let us remember that the daughter of a famous fashion designer shone at the ball as a debutante six years ago. And now Galina has stopped hiding that she is expecting her second child: she appeared at the event in a shiny, tight dress that beautifully emphasized her rounded shape. The baby will be born next year.
Last year's debutante - the daughter of the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, Elizaveta - came to the ball accompanied by her brother younger brother Denis.
For such events, there is actually a strict dress code: men must come in a tuxedo, and ladies must wear evening dress. But not all ladies, even experienced in such matters, considered it necessary to observe these strict rules. Thus, the wife of producer and composer Igor Krutoy, Olga, chose a red dress with a transparent side insert for the event. And Tina Kandelaki’s outfit raised questions among many: the producer of a sports TV channel decided to go out in a blue short dress-jacket, which she complemented with black dotted tights.

Navka and Zhulin supported their daughter

Despite the great number of famous guests, the debutantes were the main event that evening. One of them was 17-year-old Alexandra Zhulina, the daughter of famous figure skaters Tatyana Navka and Alexander Zhulin. Both parents came to support the girl. Let us remember that the couple officially announced their separation seven years ago, but for the sake of their daughter, Tatyana and Alexander continue to maintain a relationship. By the way, his wife Natalya Mikhailova came to the ball with Alexander Zhulin.

Alexandra Zhulina admitted that the dress was quite heavy

“I was at the ball last year as a guest,” young Sasha Zhulina told us. “Then I began to think that I would like to get here, but as a debutante. And now my dreams have come true!

The girl's mother mainly helped her prepare for the ball - during home rehearsals she suggested how to correctly perform this or that dance figure. And they also chose the outfit together - a dress self made, embroidered with many stones.

Choosing a path

Alexander Malinin’s daughter Ustinye is 16 years old, and she is also a debutante. The girl came to the ball with her parents. Moreover, dad actively participated in the preparations for the ball and even went with her to choose a dress from designer Alexander Terekhov. By the way, Ustinha decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and has already recorded her solo album. Moreover, she personally prepared the compositions for it.

Another debutante has also followed in her father’s footsteps and is taking her first steps in professional activity: The 15-year-old daughter of People's Artist of Russia Alexander Mikhailov, Miroslava, is already acting in films. So, she recently played the main role in the TV series “The Traffic Light Family.”

Anna Rozhdestvenskaya - daughter of Andrei Makarevich - at the ball

And 17-year-old Anna Rozhdestvenskaya, on the contrary, chose a path far from her parents. Her father is the leader of the Time Machine Andrei Makarevich, her mother is screenwriter Anna Rozhdestvenskaya. But the girl admitted that her interests now are chemistry and biology, and preparing for the ball was difficult for her. After all, she spends most of her time at the institute. The debutante dreams of making some important discovery for the world. Her half-brother Ivan came to support the girl at an important event - the famous father was on tour that day...

Correct granddaughters

Not only daughters of celebrities were at the event, but also granddaughters. Thus, the granddaughter of the legendary actor Vyacheslav Nevinny, Ivetta Nevinnaya, works as a producer in one of the Moscow theaters.

My main role model is my grandfather,” Yvette told us. “He not only had an excellent sense of humor, but also almost encyclopedic knowledge: he helped me do my homework at school and supported me in many endeavors.”

This year's debutantes included Sofya Evstigneeva, the granddaughter of the legendary actor Evgeny Evstigneev, Pelageya Basmanova, the granddaughter of the famous poet Joseph Brodsky, and Anna Emshanova, the granddaughter of the President of the Russian Hockey Federation Vladislav Tretyak. Even the great-niece of the ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya, Eleanor Sevenard, was at the ball. She followed in the footsteps of her famous relative and this year, after graduating from ballet school, she was enrolled in the Bolshoi Theater troupe.

Eleanor Sevenard is a real ballerina, and she showed what she is capable of in dance

Of course, the most important thing at the ball is the dancing. The first was a polonaise from the opera “Eugene Onegin” by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, followed by the debutantes and their partners - artists from the Bolshoi Theater - performing a waltz from the ballet “The Sleeping Beauty”. The third dance was traditionally performed by the young beauties with their fathers. To constant applause, they performed a waltz by composer Evgeniy Doga from the film “My Affectionate and Gentle Beast.”
At this point, the official part of the Ball was over, and all the debutantes, together with their parents, retired to a private dinner. And the organizers of the social event have already begun preparations for the next Debutante Ball...

While passions about Russia are boiling on the Internet - what it was and what it should be, while tired liberals and putirasts are meeting in a clinch on the Internet, separated either by the Soviets or by the Stalinists, in real life The mighty of our world bring their chicks into the world.

To my greatest regret, I do not know how to insert a video into the text, but I will provide a link to it. Be sure to check it out! Be sure to check it out! There are just thirteen minutes of concentrated filth, dressed in luxurious outfits and shrouded in live classical music. http://vk.com/video-85529314_171611624?hash=f0ea3a0ed852cdf1

When you watch and listen to this, you will absolutely know what the pre-revolutionary days were like in the dying Russian Empire. You will understand those soldiers and sailors who at that time said to others who were jubilant and enthusiastic: “Come on, noble ones, who else wants to live - everyone on the floor”.

You will hear with your own ears "We're somewhere deep down there, um, blue blood, um, we always have balls" and we are only here now, and tomorrow: “After the ball, naturally, she will go back to England, she is studying there.” Don’t look at the fact that this is an unknown actress in front of you, listen to how much she hates you. Just like Matroskin’s granddaughter: Oh, I live in London, they take us from there and take us away, I don’t plan to return, I feel good in Europe".

A famous composer, the son of an even more famous composer, will tell you: "Look, this is the Spirit of the Nation!" And this spirit, in the gentle voice of a young lady, will confidentially tell you: I'm currently studying in France and I REALLY want my own business! I don’t know what kind, something related to design or drawing, but I will definitely have my OWN BUSINESS!” The sweet and stylish Tatler correspondent, smiling in your eyes, will tell you: "It was the daughter of presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov - Elizaveta."

And the image of a sailor in a leather jacket with a rusty revolver will flash through your head again: “Come on, put all your goodies in the bag, ladies, oh yes, take off your dresses too.”

When you watch them, you will not feel any malice towards them. You've seen them more than once. You heard their fathers who told us and will tell us more than once “about the Russian World, about patriotism, about the damned agents of the State Department among ordinary people, about love for the Motherland and about internal enemies. They will talk, and their children will study in England, relax in Nice, have fun at balls and masquerades, do business and dislike Russia. And we will continue to survive in a cold country, where snow lies most of the year, where the salary ceiling in cities with a population of over a million is limited to 20 thousand rubles, and prices rise in proportion to the number of lies on TV screens." http://kharchikov.livejournal.com/

You will feel their hatred. Hatred towards you. Hate for the fact that you are still alive. And you will feel their anger towards this country. To your country and mine.

When you watch this, you will feel something has changed in the air. What began to hover within him so much like the ghost of a Bolshevik with a bottle of vodka in one hand and a jagged bayonet in the other. Looking in the mirror at this moment, you will shudder: “ oh wow, he looks like a communist great-grandfather, the old one reached out» http://kharchikov.livejournal.com/

You may hate yourself for it, but you, like me, will understand that it must be done. It is impossible to do otherwise, because what you looked at and our entire country from one end to the other as it is today is a spit in the face of us all.

Secular Moscow begins preparing for the annual debutante ball several months in advance. Outfits and hairstyles are carefully selected even for the youngest members of famous families: this is almost the only family event in Moscow in which a very strict black-tie dress code is observed.

Preparing for the Tatler ball

The debutantes themselves, girls from best families celebrities undergo a strict selection process. After receiving the coveted letter of invitation, the girls carefully prepare for the ball: they practice dancing with professional choreographers, order dresses.

The Tatler Ball is of such high status that fragile debutantes and their families don’t even have to spend money on luxurious evening dresses- both outfits and jewelry for going out are often provided by leading fashion houses completely free of charge.

The main attention, of course, was focused on the outfits of the debutantes.

Sonya Tarkhanova, the daughter of the “golden pen of Kommersant,” flew to the Dior showroom in Paris to buy a tea-rose dress.

Sasha Zhulina, the daughter of Tatyana Navka, was helped with her choice by her half-sister Liza Peskova, who herself shone at the ball two years ago. The girl came to the ball in Elie Saab in ecru color, studded with pearls and rhinestones.

Eleanor Sevenard, the great-great-granddaughter of the ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya, showed a proud head carriage in Armani - the girl stood up to the ballet barre at the age of four, so while preparing for the ball, the current ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater helped other girls master complex steps and pirouettes.

The granddaughter of artist Evgeniy Evstigneev, Sofia, made a very bold choice: instead of a traditional dress in a delicate pastel shade, she wore a bright and daring one black dress with a short front hem from Ralph & Russo - and turned out to be the real star of the evening.

Ustinya Malinina, the daughter of singer Alexander Malinin, chose a pearl-gray dress from the Alexander Terekhov collection. By the way, this is the favorite designer of the whole family, so the debutante’s mother, Ella, shone in a dress of the same brand.

Alina Novak, daughter of Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, opted for a daring neckline and elegant silhouette in a black Alberta Ferretti dress with a gold print.

The daughter of musician Andrei Makarevich Anna Rozhdestvenskaya, who had difficulty finding time to prepare for the ball - the girl studies at a serious university and studies music - appeared in a lavender-colored princess silhouette dress from Edem Couture.

A couple of hours ago, in the Column Hall of the capital's House of Unions, a luxurious reception was held in honor of the future heroines of social life - the Debutante Ball of Tatler magazine.

The tradition of holding balls to celebrate the presentation of mature daughters to the world has been known since the 19th century. Then in high society it was believed that if a girl made her debut at the ball, it means she has matured and is ready to consider marriage proposals. In 1992, such balls were revived in France, where they began to organize Bal des débutantes - charity evenings, the heroines of which were 25 heiresses of aristocratic families from different countries peace. And since 2010, the Debutante Ball has been held in Moscow. The tradition was revived on the initiative of the editors of the secular magazine Tatler. The Tatler Ball has been taking place in the historical interiors of the House of Unions for the seventh year in a row. The place is iconic - it was here, in the Hall of Columns, that similar balls were held in the 19th century.

The heroines of the evening appear in the hall, accompanied by their parents. They are worried, where would they be without this? Some of them have already been under the gun of dozens of cameras, some will go through the “secular path” for the first time, but everyone understands that the first ball is like prom: Happens only once in a lifetime.

During the evening, debutantes show off couture outfits. Chanel, Dior, Elie Saab - the best creations of world designers are selected, and someone sews them to order months before they wear them. The dress is a very significant element of the image. Even today, at the Debutante Ball, appropriateness is valued and shocking behavior is not encouraged. So, last year, 14-year-old Dina Nemtsova received the most compliments, largely due to her successful image. The closed dress with a cape from Edem Couture, in which Dina appeared at the ball, would have been the envy of Natasha Rostova herself. By the way, Dina confidently surpassed Tolstoy’s great-great-great-granddaughter (the same one), who was also a debutante in 2016, in terms of the number of likes. This is the power of the dress.

Of course, all the girls had been preparing for this evening for a long time. Together with the Bolshoi Theater ballet dancers, each of them learned polonaises and waltzes, and with their parents they honed answers to possible questions from journalists. And yet, the Debutante Ball is perhaps the most touching and sincere social event of the year. And only here you can see A-class celebrities in the corner worrying about their daughters and granddaughters and, despite their regalia, not eager to get their own share of attention.
