High society socialites are known for having extravagant parties and balls for special occasions or for the fun of it. This ball, in particular, was hosted by Marie-Hélène de Rothschild, a French socialite who married into the esteemed Rothschild banking family. The photos from this ball are absolutely wild; the guests looked like walking works of surrealist art! When Marie-Hélène de Rothschild asks you to go surrealist, you go surrealist! Many believe that this was all in part of the secret society called the Illuminati. Decide for yourself!
Marie-Hélène de Rothschild
The French socialite was born and raised in New York City until she went to Paris after school where she met her second and final husband, Guy de Rothschild. The couple and their one child (along with Marie’s child from a previous marriage) reopened Ferrières Château in France and lived there. She continued to live her high profile life in France until she passed away in 1996 from severe illnesses. She was 68.Â
