Woman making her first appearance (9)

I believe the answer is:

debutante

(Other definitions for debutante that I've seen before include "One entering society for the first time" , "eligible young lady?" , "Young woman entering society" , "young lady coming out" , "girl coming out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
