Are debutants still being "introduced?" [View all]

A nice episode of Elsbeth where such event was the main story. (no spoiler).

The protagonist was an actor by the name of J. Smith-Cameron. From Succession.

She decided to emulate former Vogue editor Anna Wintour with a recognisable pageboy bob hair style and large sunglasses and succeeded perfectly.

Am still curious of whether debutants are still being introduced, at least in New York.
