Once recognized as ‘the most beautiful girl in the world’ at the tender age of six, Thylane Blondeau continues to captivate audiences at 24.
Recently, the model was photographed during Paris Fashion Week, and admirers are still lauding her stunning appearance.
She was seen outside the Miu Miu show on Monday, donning a brown wool suit paired with a cream-colored V-neck sweater, glasses, and her hair flowing down.
Blondeau was discovered as a child, debuting on the runway at just four years old. At an age when many children are engrossed in cartoons or outdoor play, Blondeau was already modeling for Jean Paul Gaultier.
Her breakthrough came when a designer’s agent noticed her in a crowd, leading to a flourishing career.
The enchanting model consistently garners attention but also faces criticism and jealousy online. Recently, she addressed detractors who accused her of undergoing cosmetic surgery to alter her appearance at 24.
In her Instagram Stories, she expressed her frustration with these claims.
She stated: “I know that in this generation people tend to do things very early, but I’ve never touched anything.
“You can look at photos of me when I was younger nothing has changed. People love to compare and make things up but just because I wear makeup or use a lip liner doesn’t mean I’ve had my lips or face done. At some point we need to stop with that,” she insisted.
“And honestly, since I was 10 years old people have been saying I’ve had something done to my face, it’s time to stop,” she pleaded.
At just 10 years old, she posed for Vogue Paris after being labeled the ‘most beautiful girl in the world’ at six. In addition to her modeling career, she serves as the director of ENALYHT, a beauty and hair care brand (her name spelled backwards).
Her parents, former footballer Patrick Blondeau and TV presenter Véronika Loubry, certainly contributed to her enviable genetics.
She has modeled for prestigious brands such as Chanel, Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, L’Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss, amassing nearly seven million followers on Instagram. Despite the widespread attention, she revealed in a 2018 interview with The Telegraph that she’s ‘just a human being’.
“When you’re small, you don’t really pay attention, people are like, ‘you know, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world,’ and you’re like, ‘I’m not, I’m just playing with my iPad,” she joked.
“Even today, people are like, ‘you are the most beautiful girl,’ and I’m like, ‘no, I’m still not, I’m just a human being, a teenager,” added the model.
She has also utilized social media to bring attention to health issues, having endured ovarian cysts and undergone surgery, despite initially being told by doctors that her pain was ‘all in your head’.
