Thylane Blondeau rose to fame early on with a controversial advertising career
Blondeau’s journey to international fame began in one of the most dramatic ways of his life. The daughter of retired football player Patrick Blondeau, she achieved great success at the age of just six after Vogue Enfants named her “the most beautiful girl in the world” in 2006. This prestigious title came shortly after she walked the famous French artist at the age of four, marking the beginning of an amazing modeling career.By the age of ten, Blondeau had made history as the youngest model ever to pose for Vogue Paris. Her appearance in the 2010 documentary sparked controversy, however, as critics raised concerns about the choice of styles and images. The publication, entitled “Quel Maquillage à Quel Âge?” which means “What Makeup at What Age?” , featured twelve-year-olds at the time in short, cut-out dresses, high heels and make-up, widely criticizing what many considered inappropriate preaching for a young child.
Thylane Blondeau continues to achieve success and acclaim
Despite the initial controversy, Blondeau continued to produce impressive work. At the age of seventeen, he attended Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week, and gained notable partnerships and endorsement deals with major fashion houses. His face became known around the world through various advertising campaigns and directing work.The title of “most beautiful girl” followed Blondeau in 2018, when she received the honor for the second time through TC Candler’s annual list. The honor came twelve years after he first came to prominence. However, Blondeau showed maturity in his approach to the subject, distancing himself from the holiday and emphasizing his individuality. Speaking to The Telegraph in 2018, he reflected on the pressure of such labels. “Even today, people are like, ‘You’re a very beautiful girl. And I’m like, ‘No, I’m not; I’m a person, a teenager'” she said, showing her refusal to be defined by her looks alone.
Thylane Blondeau and Ben Attal’s relationship period
The pair began dating in 2020, shortly after Blondeau ended his previous relationship with French DJ Milane Merette. In March 2026, Attal decided to have a large diamond set in a solid gold band, which changed their relationship dramatically.To celebrate the engagement, Blondeau and Attal spent time at the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel on the Athens Riviera, enjoying views of the Aegean Sea. Blondeau announced the online dating with love and interest. “I said yes to my best friend. Here and forever,” he wrote on social media. The wedding ceremony represents the natural progression of their union, bringing together two people from the world of French pleasure and fashion in an intimate Paris celebration that honored their connection and the city’s romantic heritage.
