Do you remember the girl who was named “the most beautiful girl in the world” at the age of 6? Her name is Thylane Blondeau, and it’s time to refresh your memory about her and update you on what she’s been up to since then.
Born in April 2001, Thylane began modeling even before she was declared the most beautiful. Her first modeling job was at the age of 4, a decision that sparked some controversy.
She made her catwalk debut for Jean Paul Gaultier, a dream for many models, which she achieved as a young child.
Thylane is French, born in the Ivory Coast, a West African country with a French colonial legacy. Her parents are French footballer Patrick Blondeau and French actress and TV presenter Veronika Loubry.
With such good-looking and famous parents, it’s no wonder Thylane inherited their striking looks and fame.
At the age of 10, Thylane graced the cover of French Vogue, wearing a gold dress and makeup. This issue received significant criticism, with many accusing French Vogue of inappropriately featuring a child.
Thylane’s parents faced backlash for allowing and encouraging such a photoshoot.
Her mother defended the photo, stating that the only surprising element was the 3 million Euro necklace Thylane wore.
Despite the controversy, the Vogue cover was a pivotal moment for Thylane, propelling her into the world of high fashion.
Since then, she has modeled for prestigious brands like Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, Dolce & Gabbana, and walked the runway for Michael Kors during New York Fashion Week in 2017.
She is represented by IMG, the same agency that represents Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Kaia Gerber.
Thylane has also ventured into acting, appearing in the 2015 movie Belle & Sebastian: The Adventure Continues.
Additionally, she launched her own clothing line, Heaven May. With 3.5 million followers on Instagram, she is also a notable social media influencer.
Now 19 years old, Thylane continues to shine in the fashion world as a model and entrepreneur. Unlike many child stars who fade away, she has built a lasting career and continues to thrive.
We eagerly anticipate what she will accomplish next.
We wish Thylane all the happiness!
