The young girl who was once dubbed the “world’s most beautiful girl” has now blossomed into adulthood.
Thylane Blondeau, at just six years old, earned the title of ‘most beautiful girl’. She began her modeling career at the tender age of three after reportedly being discovered by Jean Paul Gaultier.
As of 2024, Thylane is 23 years old and has collaborated with renowned brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, L’Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss. She has mingled with other celebrities like Barbara Palvin and Zendaya.
Her connections to fame extend beyond her career, as she is the daughter of former TV presenter Véronika Loubry and footballer Patrick Blondeau.
At 16, Thylane signed with IMG Models, an agency that includes well-known names like Alexa Chung, Bella Hadid, and Hailey Bieber.
Alongside her thriving modeling career, Thylane has built a strong social media following, amassing seven million followers on Instagram.
Although she is still widely recognized as the ‘most beautiful girl in the world’, the now 23-year-old has transitioned from her iconic blonde hair to a brunette style.
Her social media posts indicate that she first showcased this new look in 2022.
Life hasn’t always been smooth for Thylane.
In a 2018 interview with The Telegraph, she described how she was unaware of the global spotlight at a young age.
“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 said.
“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.'”
That same year, she ventured into entrepreneurship by launching her fashion line, Heaven May Clothing.
The brand’s name is derived from two of her middle names.
She shared with The Telegraph her vision for the clothing line, aligning it with her personal style choices.
The then-young designer stated: “I’m travelling a lot so I just want clothes you can wear all the time; comfortable clothes. I’m a teenager, so it’s all about hoodies, pants and jogging [bottoms].”
As of now, the status of Thylane’s clothing line remains uncertain.
The brand’s Instagram account last posted in 2019, and its website appears to be inactive.
