EXCLUSIVE BELLE OF LE BAL Fresh off her debut at the Bal des Débutantes and gearing up for her fi lm launch with 2, 19-year-old Ananya Panday sits down with Vogue for her fi rst-ever interview. By PRIYANKA KHANNA

Nineteen-year-old Ananya Panday loves Cheetos, shopping at Topshop, wearing sneakers with everything, and is obsessed with Instagram and Snap- chat (but, naturally). You could be de- scribing any urban millennial but the pretty Panday, who just made her so- cial debut at Bal des Débutantes in Paris, is also gearing up for her next coming out—as an actor in Student Of The Year 2. But let’s go back to the former. In its 25th year, Bal des Débutantes, Ananya Panday started by charismatic Frenchwoman with Jean Paul Gaultier at his Ophélie Renouard, is the modern atelier in Paris equivalent of the traditional coming- out ceremony for young society girls. If we’re name-dropping, everyone from Isha Ambani to Lauren Bush, Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, to Tallulah Willis has debuted at this extravagant even- ing in Paris. “IT WAS NOT MY FIRST CHOICE FOR ANANYA.
