Debutante Alienor Loppin de Montmort – bore the brunt of Apple Martin’s ‘imply woman second’ is a French countess and artwork pupil who lives as VERY lavish life and shares snaps on overseas holidays and partying on yachts
Nepo babies, aristocracy and A-listers came together this weekend for the Les Bal des Débutantes in Paris.
Among the well-heeled young women wearing an array of couture dresses was French countess Alienor Loppin de Montmort.
Alienor, the only French debutante at the ball, sadly had her moment in the spotlight taken when Apple Martin sashayed into the shot while she was having her photo taken.
The 20-year-old daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay‘s Chris Martin was dressed to the nines in a Valentino gown when she arrive at the glitzy Parisian event.
During the ball, each debutante each took a turn in the spotlight, twirling to show off their expertly crafted looks and to have their picture taken – Apple decided that just one moment wasn’t enough and appeared to muscle in on that of the debutante before her.
Posing with her hands on her hips, Martin edged her way into the frame – forcing the other girl out. Meanwhile, her unwilling rival was left awkwardly laughing while Apple stole the show, lapping up several shots as she pouted and posed.
During the glamorous affair, Countess Alienor looked nothing short of regal as she arrived at the event on Saturday 30 November. The youngster stepped out in a daring black Emmanuel Ungaro gown which paid tribute to her grandmother.
The elegant frock was of a glistening texture and paired a ruffled hem with a wide, figure accentuating skirt and delicately laced trim. She wore her long brown hair in a clip, leaving glossy tresses flowing down her back.
According to organisers of the event, Alienor’s stylish ensemble was a vintage pick from her grandmother’s wardrobe.
Organisers reported that she ‘describes herself as an animal lover with a passion for fashion, a legacy from her beautiful grandmother, Myriam Laffon’.
The victim of the ‘mean girl’ moment was fellow debutante, Countess Alienor Loppin de Montmort, (pictured) who is thought to be 17-years old – three years the junior of her rival, Apple – and a member of French nobility

The ball has previously hosted the daughter of Reese Witherspoon, Ava Philippe, Emily in Paris star, Lily Collins. This years soiree also featured the granddaughter of Sophia Loren, Lucia Sofia Ponti.
Each year, the Debutante Ball – first held at the Palace of Versailles in 1958 – plays host to young ladies from distinguished families, with the aim of introducing them into society.
Alienor comes from the Loppin de Montmort family, who are survivors of French nobility and originally came from Beaune in Burgundy, and can trace their roots back to 1480.
Guillaume Loppin was married to Isabeau de Cologne, who was the daughter of the mayor of Beaune and from an high powered family in the region, with several members of the family holding high administrative positions.
However, in 1585, the family lost its noble status after they were ennobled by charge at the Chamber of Accounts of Burgundy, in Dijon, becoming lords of Montmort in eastern France.
According to one heritage site, Alienor was born in Brussels in 2007.
In Alienor’s Instagram bio, she has both the French flag and the Argentinian flag, suggesting she is of dual heritage.
A glance at the youngster’s Instagram page reveals a luxurious life spent jetting off on lavish European holidays, expensive meals out and plenty of cultural activities including art gallery mooching and sport event watching.
On one trip to London documented last year Alienor enjoyed a luxury trip along the Thames on what appears to be a private boat, munching oysters in Mayfair and touring the city via black cab.

It is possible that the account was made for school, since some of the photographs, or simply as an expression of admiration for various works.
Amongst pictures, some feature captions in which Alienor gives her opinion on certain pieces. Written of Renoir Girls at The Piano, Alienor has written in French, ‘Renoir, iconic figure of Impressionism. Through his works, I rediscover the art of enhancing the everyday, inspired by the tenderness and vibrancy of his scenes.’

Another sagacious caption reads: ‘the beauty of art speaks a unique language to each of us. for some it speaks out to them in the pages of a book, the lyrics and symphony of a song, fashion creations and pieces, capturing a moment in a photograph. it speaks out to me in artwork. the different emotions, textures, colours, techniques. each of these forms however can offer a way to see the world in another way, and to connect us in our differences. art is like no else, as art is different to all of us.’
