Model dubbed 'most beautiful girl in the world' at age six announces engagement to actor

Thylane Blondeau, who was famously called the ‘most beautiful girl’ when she was a child, has confirmed her engagement to Ben Attal, a Parisian DJ and actor.

The model got her start when she appeared on Vogue Enfants after being scouted as an infant for photoshoots and later, runways.

Blondeau, 24, was first spotted by Jean Paul Gaultier scout over 20 years ago when the then-three-year-old was walking through Paris, France, with her mom, TV host Véronika Loubry.

Then, by the age of 10, she was modelling for Vogue Paris and was even walking the red carpet at Cannes by 15.

So, it’s safe to say she’s been in the industry for some time.

But now, she has moved on to the next step of her life after announcing her engagement to Attal during a Greek holiday.

The French model shared her ring, and multiple shots of herself and her beau in the post, which she captioned: “I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever.”

In one shot, you can see a table to two outdoors with red rose petals scattered around it.

Blondeau and Attal have been dating since 2020, which came a year after her relationship with French DJ, Milane Meritte.

The daughter of retired footballer Patrick Blondeau, has held many titles in her life, including the youngest ever model to pose for Vogue Paris.

But it hasn’t been easy to have people tell her she’s beautiful.

Speaking to The Telegraph in 2018 when she was just 17, the fashion model said: "When you’re small, you don’t really pay attention. People are like, 'you know, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world,' and you’re like, 'I’m not, I’m just playing with my iPad.'"

Blondeau went on to say: "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, a teenager.'"

Then, when people began to attack her for allegedly getting plastic surgery last year, she said enough is enough.

On Instagram Stories 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,” she added, and asked her viewers: "And honestly, since I was 10 years old people have been saying I've had something done to my face, it's time to stop."
