Unusual and swanky parties were a go-to for Marie-Hélène de Rothschild. This Barone was famous in French society, and everyone admired his ball in 1971, as well as in 1972. Every place had its own charger plate, and their centerpieces were bizarre, yet extravagant. For desserts, the crowd could snack on a life-size naked woman resting on a bed of roses. Talk about fancy, right? Guests were quite posh and fancy as well, such as Audrey Hepburn and Salvador Dali. This was the most epic party which everyone still talks about, even to this day!
