This video shows the various ways the Inquisitor can gain the approval of the Orlesian Court in the Winter Palace during the Wicked Eyes & Wicked Hearts Quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition

To get the Belle of the Ball achievement you must gain 100 approval from the court at some point in the quest AND choose to confront Florianne at the end of the ball to end the quest with no bloodshed. Choosing an option where you end up fighting her will not get the achievement. You need to be at at least approval 85 at the end for the option to confront her to appear.

The video will show the easiest general ways to gain approval through conversations and actions. There are other dialogue options depending on your class, perks, and companions as well but this video should work to gain 100% approval no matter your starting point. It's an annoying quest since things are timed and once you progress through certain points you can't backtrack, so making a master save at the beginning of the quest is wise.

I'm focusing on approval here, not the storylines or collection of halla statues, secrets, and coins. I have a walkthrough for those items here:
