From the Indian names set to make their society debut at Le Bal Des Debutantes on November 24 is Shloka Birla, daughter of Yash and Avanti Birla. The ball and fashion event, held annually in Paris, brings together 20–25 girls and boys aged 16 to 22 from different countries.

For her big night, the youngster has chosen celeb favourite Manish Malhotra , who is a close friend of her mother, to design her outfit. "His work speaks for itself. It's a concoction of excitement and nerves since it's my first time on a platform as big as this, but I can't wait to be a part of it," says the excited Birla scion.
