Thylane Blondeau, once dubbed “the most beautiful girl in the world” at only six years old, continues to capture attention at 24 years old. Nearly two decades later, she remains one of the most recognizable faces in fashion.
The French model recently turned heads at Paris Fashion Week, where she was praised for her timeless elegance and effortless style by fans and photographers alike.
Spotted outside the Miu Miu show on Monday, Thylane wore a tailored brown wool suit layered over a cream V-neck sweater. She completed the look with glasses and loose, natural hair that framed her face beautifully.
Thylane began modeling very young. She was scouted as a child and walked her first runway at just four years old—while most children were still playing games or watching cartoons. At that age, she had already started modeling for designer Jean Paul Gaultier.
Her big break came after an agent spotted her in a crowd, immediately recognizing her striking features and natural poise. From that moment, her modeling career took off, putting her in demand across the fashion world.
Although Thylane often receives admiration for her beauty, she also faces online criticism and rumors. Some social media users have accused her of undergoing cosmetic surgery, something she has strongly denied on multiple occasions.

On her Instagram Stories, Thylane addressed those rumors directly, explaining she was “tired” of constant speculation about her appearance.
She said: "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 added, emphasizing that she achieves her look naturally through makeup techniques and not through surgery.
"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 continued in frustration.
Thylane appeared in Vogue Paris at just 10 years old after being crowned “the most beautiful girl in the world.” In addition to her modeling work, she now runs her own beauty and haircare brand, ENALYHT — her first name spelled backward — which focuses on self-care and natural beauty.

Her parents, former soccer player Patrick Blondeau and television presenter Véronika Loubry, both have public careers, and it’s clear that her striking looks and charisma come naturally.
Throughout her career, Thylane has modeled for some of the world’s top fashion houses, including Chanel, Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, L’Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss. She also has nearly seven million followers on Instagram who continue to support her work and style.
Despite her fame, she remains humble. In a 2018 interview with The Telegraph, she said she’s simply a regular person. "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 recalled.
"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," the model added with a laugh.
In addition to her modeling career, Thylane has spoken publicly about her struggles with health issues. She revealed that she suffered from ovarian cysts and had to undergo surgery after doctors initially dismissed her symptoms, claiming her pain was “all in her head.”
Fans have praised her openness about the experience, saying her honesty helps raise awareness about women’s health and the importance of trusting your instincts.
