Debutante comes from a word in French, which means debut, just as a 15-year-old girl debuts in society, now being seen as a teenager moving into adulthood.

What is the origin of the 15th birthday party?

The debutante ball appeared in mid-1700s in Europe, as a way of introducing the girl who was turning 15 to society and demonstrating that from that moment on, she was also ready to get married. Yes, that’s right, getting married at that age was common, as life expectancy at that time was 40 years.

In the series Bridgerton, available on Netflix, we can see this dynamic portrayed.

With the French revolution and the immigration of people to other places, the “fashion” caught on here in Brazil too. In fact, nowadays this celebration is no longer so common in Europe, unlike in Latin American and Hispanic countries.

Each people has their rituals, but in general, the common points of the festival in Brazil are:

The living cake: the debutante and her partner blow out the candles of each of the 15 couples and at the end everyone dances a waltz together.
Ring Delivery: Just before the first waltz, the birthday girl’s father gives her the ring.
Waltz with his father, godfather and “prince”.
