Bruce Willis takes all of his girls to Paris for Tallulah’s debutante ball

Above is a photo Rumer Willis tweeted from Paris – Rumer and her sister Scout were in Paris with their father, Bruce Willis, for the youngest Willis girl’s “coming out”. “Coming out” meaning the old-fashioned “coming out as a debutante.” I’ve only known and liked one debutante in my life – cotillions sound like fun, but then you realize how much g–damn work goes into being a debutante, and really, no thanks. Anyway, Tallulah Willis, age 17, had her coming out at Le Bal des Débutantes at the Hotel Crillon – it’s an annual event, and one of the most prestigious debutante balls in the world. Scout had her “coming out” a few years ago too. Tallulah is the one in the black and sparkly dress. I’m honestly and truly not trying to be mean, but… when did Rumer become the prettiest Willis girl? When did that happen?!?

Tallulah Willis is officially a member of high society.

The youngest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore stepped out at Le Bal des Débutantes at Paris’s Hotel Crillon on Saturday night.

Willis, 17, wore a sleeveless black and silver sequined gown by Lanvin. Her hair was up and back in a chignon.

Tallulah’s sisters Rumer Willis and Scout Willis also attended the ball (but not as debutantes), and Rumer Tweeted a picture of them at the event.

Moore, who recently split from husband Ashton Kutcher, did not attend. But the girls’ father accompanied them to Paris and the ball.

“He was a little different than three years ago [when Scout was a debutante], more reserved,” a source at the ball tells PEOPLE. “He was there for his daughter, but protective. It wasn’t until around midnight when he danced with Tallulah that you saw him become more relaxed.”

“He’s a dad and he wanted to be certain she felt the evening was for her,” the source added.

In total, 23 young women – daughters actors, business leaders and aristocrats – from 13 countries made their debut on Saturday night at the ball, which first launched in 1957 and re-launched 20 years ago as a charity fundraiser.

Lauren Bush, who debuted at the ball in 2000, created this year’s beneficiary, the Feed Foundation, which is dedicated to fighting malnutrition.

Demi Moore was not at the event – according to reports, she was licking her wounds in Hawaii. I understand that Demi probably didn’t want to pull focus from Scout on her big debutante weekend, but still – it would have been nice if Demi had found a way to be a part of daughter’s big event. As it was, Bruce and his preggo wife Emma did all of the parent stuff, which apparently included a big shopping spree in Paris. Bruce seems like such a cool dad, right? Here are some photos of Bruce and his girls in Paris:

    Isn’t Talullah the one who is the debutante?

    kinda sad that her sisters try to upstage her at her own debutante ball. Bright red and boobs try to get the attention…

    And is Bruce taking the picture? My dad would never let my boobs hang out like that if he made one.

      That is all I could see in the picture was the boobs hanging out. Doesn’t matter how old you are you just don’t go to a party with your Dad and have boobs hanging out. Then again I would slash my wrist before being caught dead at a “debutante ball”. Yuck, these things are only about the exclusivity and thinking you are better than others I would be more impressed if Bruce was taking her to prom or high school honors graduation. But then again that’s just me. I’m actually glad that Demi wasn’t there, it will just look like the typical mom pushing their daughter into high society.

    Ugh I was a debutante in cotillion… it was awful! All of the girls bonded over how much we hated it. For our “coming out” party we actually had to wear pouffy wedding dresses. It was ridiculous. From the looks of these photos though that party looks fun!

    Nah, Rumer did not become prettier. The poor lighting of the pictures just makes her less potatohead.

    Am I too old-fashioned in thinking that I would be too ashamed for my boobs to hang out like that around my dad?

    • Mr. Smurf says:

      No. I would be really embarrassed to have my dad see my boobs hanging out like that. I’d probably be embarrassed if my mom saw me like that too. But then again, I read somewhere that Demi Moore said nudity wasn’t a huge issue in their house. To me, that’s gross. I’m not going to walk around in the buff whenever I have kids.

      I’d be totally embarrassed. I have boobs and am almost embarrassed when I wear something too tight around my dad. It is weird. And really, its a debutante ball with young girls why would one even need to wear a dress like that!!?

    Geez, what kind of camera were they using to get the devil red-eye effect? I haven’t seen anything like that in years. It really doesn’t help them to…you know…look their best.

    Bruce seems to really love those kids. He’s a cutie.

      Yeah, the header picture looks like something out of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”, the one with Winona Ryder and Gary Oldman. Remember where the vixens are trying to seduce Keanu Reeves? Looks just like that. Creepy. Maybe they were coming out as vampires, hahaha!

    R looks a bit more like her mother than usual, in part bc she has that glassy-eyed, lost, “I’m tough but damaged” look to her. Hope it’s bad lighting and not her absorbing/reflecting her mother’s unhappiness.

    You know, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore are good looking people … so what in the world happened with these girls. There is absolutely nothing of Bruce in any of them. They all have Demi’s features, and not in a good way, but in some weird exaggerated form that doesn’t quite seem to match–or work … at least, not for me. I’m sorry, but that picture of the three girls above is freaking creepy.

    To comment on their physical appearance is shallow and immature. I’m sure you’re all such attractive people that you have so much room to make such unkind remarks about others. However, commenting on what they’re wearing is fair game.

      Oh, this IS a gossip blog… if we can’t talk about the lack of pulchritude of celebrity progeny HERE, where can we talk about it..

      Secondly – I KNOW any sample of young women pulled from anywhere, any neighborhood, any school are better looking than these girls. That’s not even an overstatement.

      I’m sure they are all nice young ladies though.=0)

      Tazina, the difference is that we’re not all out in public thinking that we’re all so hot. We know our limitations and are not begging for our pictures to be taken and looking smug. These dum dums
      are clueless and entitled for absolutely no reason.

      They are judged on their looks because they haven’t as a group done anthing else to distinguish themselves. Rumer has an “actor/model” career that is entirely based on her famous last name, Scout is in college and Tallulah is doing God knows what (school? nothing?). We don’t have anything else to judge them on – i.e. accomplishments. Maybe its too soon to tell but Rumer doesn’t provide a good example of what the Willis girls might achieve – i.e. not much so far.

    How nice, as usual, seeing some women on here making disparaging remarks about the looks of young women. Women are meaner and more shallow than men. These girls are harmless and don’t deserve such remarks. They aren’t Lindsay Lohan, who is fair game, or fame whore Kardashians.

    Not a pretty one in the bunch. Their genes did not mix well at all. 3 rolls of the dice and…they got all the worst features tenfold.
    At least Bruce is involved as a father.

    If I was Bruce’s new wife I’d be hoping for a boy. Let’s hope the Moore genes were equally responsible for their offspring and this is not the result of Willis genes being excessively dominant. I know it’s mean, and I feel a tiny bit guilty (but not a lot bc Rumer fancies herself a celeb), but these girls are not so much as unattractive as hey are bizarre looking. It looks like they have an unnamed syndrome. Hope they’re getting a good education.

    they all got hit with the ugly stick but the media and their delusional minds have convinced them that they are hot. The way they cavort about Hollywood 1/2 dressed and pouting for any camera that will takea picture of them.

    Except for the red lips and brassy blonde hair on Scout they all look fine to me – like my friends and myself would look if we’re at an event that’s out of our comfort zone to dress for. They are merely cursed by their mother – if they were Kathy Bates’ daughters they’d be considered quite pretty.

    I am laughing because the past year I have been obsessing over regency period romances and they are all about the Marriage Mart and debutantes. And it is so funny because these ugly ducklings would have fit in just fine for an aristocrat looking for an heiress to pay off his debts or hold onto the family fortune. That is the only kind of men they would have attracted.

    I am so relieved to hear people that don’t kiss ass but name what is, i.e. : the Willis girls are NOT pretty as I hear often, but they somehow were very unlucky with the genes, and it’s unfortunate but true that they are not good looking.

    And I also find myself hoping that this child he is expecting will have better luck. I quite like Emma, more than I do Demi, she seems nice.

      I am SO sending Bruce Willis and his wife best wishes for a boy! :)

      I remember when Bruce and Demi got married. Everyone was so surprised, because no one (or maybe it was just me) ever remembered them dating. One minute, Bruce was splashed all over the Tabloids, romantically linked with actress Olivia Brown (the pretty black actress who starred as Detective Trudy Joplin in the “Miami Vice” TV series, and Anthony’s girlfriend ‘Vanessa’ on “Designing Women” … she was in the infamous Hurricane Hit Atlanta episode), and the next day (it seems) those stories were replaced with ‘Bruce Willis and Demi Moore are Married!’

    You have got to be fricking kidding me. What kind of Debutante Ball is this? No debutante group I’ve ever heard of lets the offspring of trailer residents make their debut. Must be some kind of new money thing. As my mother always says, “Movie stars? Why, they’re one step above circus people.” and I couldn’t agree more.

    Note: Thanks to the person who says Scout is the blonde and rumor the one on the left. Some of us have no idea which is which amongst the Willis girls. Anyway yeah the girls just look strange. I’m sure both demi and bruce are good parents to their kids. Just because one makes it to a flashy (and snotty) event doesn’t mean the other isn’t there to take care of them during the everyday unglam times.
