Six-Year-Old Girl Dubbed “The World’s Most Beautiful Girl” is Now All Grown Up



When Thylane Blondeau was just 6 years old, she was dubbed “the most beautiful girl.” Now, the 24-year-old looks very different from the blue-eyed, blonde-haired girl that took the world of fashion by storm over two decades ago, with Blondeau trading in her unkempt golden locks for luscious brown tresses. Photos posted on her Instagram account show how her look has evolved over the years, with her darker hair among the most noticeable differences. Blondeau was three when she was catapulted to the spotlight after an an agent for the legendary fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier picked her out of a crowd in The Champs-Elysees and sent her strutting down a runway. Her cover photo for Vogue Enfants captivated readers and saw her lauded as the "most beautiful girl in the world." Blondeau embarked on a modeling career that was the stuff of dreams — and some controversy because of her tender age. Today, Thylane has worked for some of the biggest couture brands in the world including Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, L'Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss. She juggles her career as a model and social media influencer with her role as an entrepreneur. Her most recent venture is a beauty and hair care brand, Enalyht, which has as its tagline: "Born from need - Made with care.”
