It would be reasonable to expect that the pinnacle of your career might come at some point in mid-life. Spare a thought, then, for Thylane Blondeau, who was labeled “the most beautiful girl in the world” at the age of just six. While most little girls her age were playing with their dolls, the world was mesmerized by Blondeau’s preternaturally gorgeous blue eyes, plump lips and mane of messy caramel blonde hair. And when she appeared on the cover of a Vogue Paris supplement, at 10-years-old, she attracted global attention - not least thanks to her full face of make-up and high heels.
