Thylane Blondeau, famously dubbed the 'most beautiful girl in the world' at just six years old, has tied the knot with French DJ Ben Attal just three months after announcing their engagement.
The 25-year-old model - who is the daughter of French footballer Patrick Blondeau and TV presenter Véronika Loubry - married her partner Ben Attal in Paris earlier today (June 29), as the couple took the non-traditional approach of arriving at their ceremony together.
She wore a stunning cape-style gown while carrying a bouquet of white lilies, and her new husband, Attal, 29, wore a navy suit.
The wedding comes just weeks after the pair announced their engagement in a series of pictures on Instagram while on vacation in Greece, which Blondeau captioned: "I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever."

The two began dating in 2020, after reportedly meeting online, and shared their first date at a cosy wine bar in Notting Hill, London.
Blondeau was labelled the 'most beautiful girl in the world' by Vogue Enfants at just six years old, after walking the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier in 2005.
But the star has previously opened up about the pressure that comes with such an enormous title at just six years old.
Speaking with the Telegraph in 2018, she said: "Even today, people are like, 'you are the most beautiful girl,' and I’m like, 'no, I’m still not, I’m just a human being'."
Hitting back at the unhealthy beauty standards pressed upon her, the model added: "I don’t want to be skinny. Even if people are like, 'she’s not that skinny, she can’t do this show,' I’m just like, 'ok fine, I’m not going to do that show.'
"I’m not going to be skinny and not eat for them. If I want to eat, I can eat. I eat burgers. I’m not going to change this ever."
The stunning model continues turns heads into her twenties, but still receives criticism and jealousy online.
Speaking on Instagram, she said: "I know that in this generation people tend to do things very early, but I’ve never touched anything.
"You can look at photos of me when I was younger nothing has changed. People love to compare and make things up but just because I wear makeup or use a lip liner doesn’t mean I’ve had my lips or face done. At some point we need to stop with that."
