Thylane Blondeau, once dubbed the “most beautiful girl in the world” at just six years old, is now 24 and thriving in the fashion world. Discovered by Jean Paul Gaultier at age three, the French model quickly rose to global fame.

Today, Thylane has modeled for major fashion houses including Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, L’Oréal Paris, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss. She’s also amassed over 7 million followers on Instagram, becoming a social media influencer as well.

Though she remains recognizable, Thylane has swapped her signature blonde hair for a brunette look, debuting the transformation in 2022.

In a 2018 interview with The Telegraph, she reflected on her early fame: “People are like, ‘You’re the most beautiful girl in the world,’ and I’m like, ‘No, I’m just a human being, a teenager.’”

That same year, she launched her fashion brand, Heaven May Clothing, inspired by her own middle names and personal style. However, the brand’s Instagram hasn’t posted since 2019, and its website is no longer active.

Despite the challenges, Thylane has carved out a lasting presence in the industry, evolving beyond the childhood title that once defined her.
