Apt name for a socialite?

DEB

Think of a young woman making her formal debut into high society circles.

This clue plays on the double meaning of "deb." Short for "debutante," it refers to a young woman making her formal entrance into high society—perfect for a socialite. The word also sounds like "deb" as in "debt," but that’s just a red herring here to make you think twice. The real answer leans on the socialite angle, where "deb" fits as a snappy, fitting nickname.
