Thylane Blondeau rose to fame at the age of six, earning the title of the “most beautiful little girl in the world” due to her captivating blue eyes and flowing blonde hair. By the age of four, she made her debut on the runway for Jean-Paul Gaultier, propelling her into the limelight. In 2010, at just nine years old, she stirred controversy with a Vogue Enfants photo shoot featuring her in high heels, mini skirts, and heavy makeup.
Now 24, the French model and actress has undergone a significant transformation into adulthood while still living under public scrutiny. Born on April 5, 2001, in Aix-en-Provence, France, to footballer Patrick Blondeau and television presenter Véronika Loubry, Thylane started her modeling career at a young age, collaborating with prestigious designers and beauty brands like Dolce and Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, L’Oréal, Chanel, and Versace, maintaining her prominence in the industry for nearly two decades.
Although her Vogue Enfant feature caused a divide due to its adult and sexualized nature, her mother defended the controversial shoot, focusing on the value of the jewelry worn. Despite the backlash, Thylane continued her modeling career and achieved milestones such as gracing the cover of Jalouse magazine at 13.
Signing with IMG Models opened doors for Thylane to venture into acting, landing her a role in the film ‘Belle and Sebastian: The Adventure Continues’ in 2015. She later became a brand ambassador for L’Oréal in 2017 and starred in Dolce and Gabbana’s spring/summer campaign alongside other notable figures.
Consistently recognized for her beauty, she topped TC Candler’s “100 Most Beautiful Faces” list multiple times and expanded her portfolio by launching her own fashion label, Heaven May, and cosmetics brand, Enalyht. With over 7 million Instagram followers, Thylane has established a strong presence on social media.
Recently, she attended the Cannes International Film Festival in 2025, showcasing a mature and evolved image from her early days as a child model. Despite her growth, Thylane remains dedicated to her career in the fashion industry, maintaining her contract with IMG and continuing to make her mark in the world of fashion.
