Atasha Muhlach was mesmerizing at Le Bal des Débutantes 2022.
The prestigious event was held at Shangri-La Paris in France on Saturday, November 26, 2022.
Atasha, the daughter of Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzalez, was one of 17 stunning ladies from around the world chosen to be part of this year’s batch.

Escorted by her twin brother Andres Muhlach, Atasha made her high-society debut wearing a glittery gown from London-based couture brand Sabina Bilenko.
The light sapphire mesh gown came with a thigh-high slit and midriff cut-out. She paired it with a pair of strappy silver high-heeled sandals and jewelry pieces from V Muse, the official jeweler of Le Bal 2022.
The dress is actually part of the brand's Spring/Summer 2022 collection.
The same dress was previously worn by British socialite and model Emma Clare Thynn.
For her beauty look, Atasha opted for fresh, blush-pink make-up from NARS.
Meanwhile, master hairdresser Alexander Von Trentini and his team of stylists at La Biosthetique Salon were in charge of styling all the debutantes' hair for the ball.
Atasha is the ninth Filipina to be invited to the exclusive event, following in the footsteps of Dominique Cojuangco, daughter of businessman Tonyboy Cojuangco and Gretchen Barretto; Monica Concepcion, daughter of RFM's President and CEO Joey Concepcion and Maria Orosa-Concepcion; and Kayla Uytengsu, daughter of Alaska Milk Corporation chairman Fred Uytengsu and Kerri Dunn-Uytengsu.
Aside from Atasha, other ladies who are part of this year's batch of Le Bal debutantes include Leah Isadora Behn (granddaughter of King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway), Princess Hélène of Orléans (daughter of The Duke and Duchess of Chartres), and Princess Inayatinder Kaur of Patiala (daughter of The Crown Prince of Patiala).
Le Bal is one of the most prestigious aristocratic fashion events in the world. Ophélie Renouard, the founder of Parisian Le Bal, was cited by SCMP.com explaining why it's a coveted ball for young ladies.
"The event now serves as their couture and media premiere.
"Even if they come from privileged families, they might not have tried a couture gown or worn fabulous jewelry, and most of the time, they have not been in the media."
The criteria for an invitation, according to an article published in The Daily Telegraph, are "looks, brains, and famous parents."
