Fame and celebrity

  • She was recruited by Jean Paul Gaultier at age three and did her first runway show a year later – but a Vogue photo shoot sparked controversy
  • No stranger to fame, she’s the daughter of footballer Patrick Blondeau and Véronika Loubry – and pals with Kaia Gerber, Barbara Palvin and Daniel Day-Lewis’ son, Gabriel-Kane

French model Thylane Léna-Rose Blondeau was cast into the international spotlight from an early age, walking her first runway for Jean Paul Gaultier when she was just four years old. It was only two years later – at age six – that she was crowned “the most beautiful girl in the world” with her portraits going viral across the internet.

It’s been over a decade since she made her debut and the now 20-year-old has continued her modelling career, working with an array of high-profile luxury campaigns for the likes of L’Oréal and Dolce & Gabbana.

She’s come a long way since her feature in Vogue Enfants, a supplement in Vogue Paris, at the age of six. Blondeau continues to grace the lists of beauty rankings as a young adult, including her multiple appearances on TC Candler’s “100 Most Beautiful Faces” list.

The model was recently spotted at Paris Fashion Week 2022 donning a grey crop top jumper and trousers at the Miu Miu show, resembling something of a 90s look. Sharing the outfit with her 5.1 million followers on Instagram, the model wrote, “My fifth @miumiu show. Thank you so much for having me! Always so happy to watch your show!!”
