Thylane Blondeau was told she was the most beautiful girl in the world when she was only six-years-old. Now, she’s all grown up and looks quite different from when she was given the title.
The 24-year-old, still stunning, now sports long dark hair and plays up her gorgeous features with the help of makeup.
Blondeau was first recognized for her striking blue eyes, long blonde hair and pouty lips at the age of 3 when she was hand-picked by fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier. She eventually strutted down her first runway a year later.
Her modeling career catapulted from there and three years later, she received the ‘most beautiful’ title.
She also holds the title of the world’s youngest model to ever pose for Vogue Paris at only 10.
Nowadays, the French model has worked for power fashion houses such as Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, L’Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss.
Expectedly, the 24-year-old has also built quite the social media following.
In addition to modeling, she reportedly has her own clothing line called Heaven May Clothing, as well as a beauty and haircare brand called Enalyht.
Despite being complimented on her looks her whole life, Blondeau has remained humble and never thought much of it.
“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 told The Telegraph in 2018.
“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,’” Blondeau told the outlet.
Despite what some might assume, Blondeau hasn’t had it easy — especially when it came to her health.
The 24-year-old revealed in late 2021 that she had undergone multiple surgeries for complications with ovarian cysts.
She vulnerably shared her experience on social media after a cyst “exploded in her stomach.”
“From this experience I’ve learned that when you’re body hurts, don’t let it slide and take care of it, you must see different doctors until some of them find the problem and heal it,” she said at the time, according to Daily Mail.
“Any pain, even the little ones, can hide something way more important.”
