Thylane Blondeau was just 4 years old when, in 2006, she took the fashion world by storm and was dubbed “the most beautiful girl in the world” by Vogue magazine — or more precisely, Vogue Enfants, the prestigious magazine’s children’s supplement. Yes, that was a thing.
Years have passed since then, Blondeau recently turned 25 and the French model is now a married woman.
Blondeau and her partner, French DJ Ben Attal, got engaged only three months ago, wasted no time and were married Monday in Paris.
The couple arrived at the venue together in a Porsche 356, estimated to be worth between a quarter of a million and half a million dollars, and sometimes even more. Guests were waiting for them at the entrance before everyone went inside together for the start of the ceremony.
The two became a couple in 2020 and got engaged in March during a vacation in Greece. Blondeau shared footage of the proposal, including a photo of the diamond ring, estimated to be worth 30,000 pounds, and wrote: “I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever.”
Blondeau entered the industry at a young age. At 4, she was already modeling for Jean Paul Gaultier, and later worked with major brands and appeared in high-end magazines. She is still modeling and continues to work with luxury brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, L’Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss.

And here is an interesting piece of trivia: She has two tattoos in Hebrew — one of the word “chai,” meaning “life,” and another, under her chest, of the names of her brothers, Ayrton and Lapo. There is another Israeli connection: When she was 17, she won the title of “the most beautiful face in the world.” Not far behind her, in third place, was Israeli model Yael Shelbia.
