Nicole Ari Parker's daughter Sophie is a debutante!

The And Just Like That... actress cheered on her 19-year-old at the Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris on Saturday, Nov. 30. The annual event introduces about 20 women between the ages of 16 and 22 into society, with fellow celeb kids like Lily Collins and Margaret Qualley having participated in recent years.

Sophie stunned in a plum-colored gown by Oscar de la Renta, per Hello!. The sculptural number featured a balloon skirt that gathered on one side to reveal a thigh-high slit — a silhouette that would make Carrie Bradshaw very proud. She accessorized with gold jewelry and wore her dark hair in a chic updo.

"My heart is soooo full ❤️ A magical night indeed. ✨," Parker, 54, captioned an Instagram post showing video clips of Sophie entering the ball with her escort and dancing with her father, Boris Kodjoe.

"Proud Papa 🧑🏾‍🦲🤎," Parker continued in the caption. "Thank You #OphelieRenouard , @lebal.paris and @OscarDeLaRenta for an unforgettable evening."

Apple's blue chiffon Valentino gown reportedly took Creative Director Alessandro Michele’s atelier 750 hours to make. Per Vogue, the dress was “fashioned in six dégradé tiers of silk plissé chiffon, cinched at the waist with a black silk bow” and paired with matching blue Valentino sandals, per Vogue.

Lucia, whose parents are Grey's Anatomy star Sasha Alexander and Italian film director Edoardo Ponti, opted for a strapless gown by Giorgio Armani Privé, per Vogue. The ensemble features a pleated A-line skirt and cream and charcoal gray stripes.

"I tend to go for dresses or clothes that make me feel confident but also are comfortable to wear,” Lucia told Hello! ahead of the ball. “I had looked through other dresses that were featured in Le Bal in previous years, and they all individually represented the girls so beautifully. I just hoped to find a dress that would do the same for me.”
