Wearing a sequined Lanvin gown, the youngest member of the Willis clan was joined by older sisters Rumer, 23, and Scout, 20. Their 56-year-old father -- who is currently expecting another child with wife Emma Heming -- was also in attendance.
The trio's 49-year-old mother -- who recently announced she was ending her six-year marriage to Ashton Kutcher -- was noticeably M.I.A.

Tallulah was just one of 23 young women from 13 countries who made their debut at the ball, which first launched in 1957 and re-launched in 1991 as a charity fundraiser.
Tell Us What You Think
39Maybe Demi just didn't want to "upstage" her daughter!
What's with the eyes, they look demonic.
Thosr are the ugliest 3 girls....it goes to show you that a good looking mom & dad does not mean you will have good looking kids. I hope they all have good dowries...they are going to need the when it comes to finding a husband
I think the evening was special for her daughter not Demi, She would have been the one everyone would have been watching.
having gone through the program/activities of becoming a debutante..in my local area..it is a lot of work to go through and to complete. every debutante program in different areas will have different activities and requirements. these 23 young ladies..this was their night, a special one, which im sure they enjoyed, one they worked very hard for. this article should have been about the debutantes, their accomplishmenyts and not about the celebrity parents and their personal/private problems and issues.
These girls have more class than all the Kardashians combined. How people can say they look soulless, etc is just pretty bad. So you would rather they look all manufactured like Kim K and her 'wanna be Kim K' sisters? You want cardboard cut out blondes like Kristin Cavallari, Hayden P, etc? With the exception of that one incident where Tallulah was caught with some of her high school buddies drinking last year, not one of these kids has been in any trouble. No sex tapes, wild parties (at least publicly), no nude flashing, arrests, etc. More than I can say for much of Hollywood kids. These kids march to the beat of their own drummer. Aces in my book.
People, if you don't have nice comments to post, please don't bother. I think the girls are beautiful, but these hurtful comments can do long term damage. It is so hard being a celebrity kid, so I hope these girls have really thick skin.
They are certainly not the cutest Hollywood offspring! Wow!! It must be difficult having such a cute mom!
Goodness that's a horrible picture, they look like devil worshipers!
Demi should have attended for Tulullah. The world isn't only about Demi and Ashton .
Hey Bruce! from a Nu Yorker to a Jersey kid,ya done good...Ya make our gender proud.. Best of luck young lady,ya got a great dad....
It's remarkable to me that so many hens on here are complaining about Demi not being at a debutante ball. You're more concerned that mom wasn't there (dad was) than the fact that it's a freaking DEBUTANTE ball! Unbelievable. No wonder parents in this country are so freaking screwed up. It's a damn BALL, not a graduation or a wedding. For chrissakes.
They look soulless.
I'm sorry being a mother I can't understand why she wouldn't be there. Yes I know her marriage broke up & she's heartbroken & embarrassed because her husband cheated on her with a 23 year old BUT this is your daughter, this is your baby daughter, this is the only time she will be coming out to society & she should have been there. Even if she was there for only 1/2 hr. She came, she supported her & then left. But she couldn't spare her that. She needed to be there to support her daughter just like her daughters are there to support her. I love Demi Moore & I do feel for her what she's going thru but I just can't see why she couldn't do this for her daughter. Like I said she could have stayed for a half hour & then left. Maybe she would have felt better for going-taking her mind off her problems for a little while & hanging with her family. I mean it was her 3 daughters & Bruce, I don't know what her relationship is with his new wife, but "knowing" how they are & how they have been in the past I'm sure she gets along with her & she would have shown her support for her daughter & they would have supported her being out in public during this tough time on her. Sorry but that's just my opinion & I still think Demi is handling this with class & that she will always be one of my favorite celebrities. You go Demi! You are still a classy lady & we all love & are here for you.
I think we shouldn't judge why she wasn't there. Has it ever occured to you that her daughter and her had an understanding about why she wasnt there? We don't know demi's reason for not being there but she does seem to have a strong bond with her girls and I think her girls would understand why she wasn't present. It is so sad that we will think the worst about someone with so little information. To be honest i didn't realise girls still attened these sort of funcations.
why didn't anyone tell the one in the gray dress that her boob was hanging out? Yikes!!!
And still, nobody cares if you agree to other peoples lives or not. You do not know them, never will, and your opinion about any celebrity doesn't mean anything. Reality check : you are just some pathetic people who do hallucinate about being important enough to write about the personal life of totally strangers? You need help.
Definitely nothing wrong with the girls... my sour ballet teacher once scoffed at me, 'all young people are beautiful... staying that way is the challenge'. I think the problem here was the nasty make-up... and bad dresses! ugh! I will never use MAC make-up again! :-) Another participants mother, Amy Fine Collins, once wrote that Brigitte Bardo had refused to allow Chanel to dress her in Haute Couture... according to Collins, Brigitte said haute couture made young women look like old women! This proves her case... Anyways... the real truth about Demi not going... I hear on another website, that other guests at the event were industrialists with a record of sweatshops and human trafficking abuse. Ending Human Trafficking is Demi's pledged charity... so as I understand it, she boycotted the event. Apparently Clint Eastwood did the same in 2009. Allowing the daughter to go, but not lending their fame to the event to make a silent protest. Certainly her personal life did not stop her from going to other parties recently. And she is buddies with Bruce. Digging deep on the net was eye-opening.
I think these girls are pretty. The photographer sucks, though, what's with not editing out the 'red eye' look from their eyes?? They look possessed. I agree with a few of the others when I say I think Demi was trying to do her daughter a favor by not going. It's not just Tallulah's night that could have been tarnished but all the other girls whose families had travelled from all around the world and spent a lot of money for their child's special night.
god those are some unfortunate looking girls
