Cotillion's young stars
Debs is the plural of deb, an informal shortening of debutante—a young woman making her formal entrance into society at a ball or similar event.
The term evokes a world of cotillions and coming-out parties: The debs lined up for their presentation.
In casual use, debs can refer to any group of young women dressed up for a formal occasion.
