Immaculately dressed dancers moved their way to music provided by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at their January ball.
The sold-out 76th version of the annual event saw female debutants take to the floor wearing white gowns and elbow-length gloves.
The men were in classic ballroom dinner jackets with white dickie bows to match their female counterparts.
Held in the halls of the Musikverein building in Vienna, Bösendorferstrasse, the packed audience watched as conductor Semyon Bychkov led the orchestra.
The first Vienna Philharmonic Ball was held in 1924, and set the precedent which the ball committee has maintained to this day.
The ball was held annually from 1924 to 1931 until a hiatus from 1932-1948. It then started again in 1949 and became a permanent highlight of the season's festivities.
