A Grand Debut: The Duchess of Argyll's Extravagant Ball for Her Debutante Daughter, Miss Frances Sweeny This enchanting spread from The Tatler magazine offers a glimpse into the lavish world of London's high society in 1955, as the Duchess of Argyll hosts an unforgettable coming-out ball for her daughter, Miss Frances Sweeny. The Duchess, formerly known as Margaret Whigham, was a renowned debutante herself, having been crowned Deb of the Year in 1930. Her daughter, Frances, was poised to follow in her mother's footsteps, making her debut in style at the prestigious Claridges hotel. Frances, resplendent in her elegant gown, can be seen on the right hand side of the image, surrounded by her friends, as they danced the night away. The Duchess of Argyll, looking every inch the gracious hostess, is pictured in the bottom left corner with Mrs William Zeitz and Mrs Jonathan Duncan. The atmosphere of the ball was electric, with guests dancing until after daybreak, making it an unforgettable night for all involved. The Duchess of Argyll's ball was just one of many grand events during the London season, a time when debutantes came out into society and were presented at court. This spread from The Tatler offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this tradition and the opulent world of high society in the mid-20th century.
