In February 2020 the first same-sex couple were presented as debutante and escort at the ball.[1] The two debutantes, Iris Klopfer and Sophie Grau, were from Germany.[2] Klopfer wore the traditional white dress, long white gloves, and tiara typical for female debutantes while Grau, who is non-binary, wore the traditional black suit and tailcoats typical for male escorts.[3]
