The child once dubbed as the most beautiful girl in the world is now all grown up.
French girl Thylane Blondeau was propelled to international fame when she was dubbed the world’s most beautiful girl at the age of just six.
I didn’t know the award existed either, but it is an odd old world isn’t it.
Amazingly, at just six years of age, Thylane had already been a model for three years at this point after being discovered by Jean Paul Gaultier.

But now, Thylane is all grown up and fast forward to 2025, that little girl looks quite different and has had quite the modelling career.
The now 24-year-old has worked for some of the biggest names in the business modelling for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, L'Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss.
This has also meant she has rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest names in the modelling and fashion world.

As well as carving out a successful modelling career in fashion for herself, Thylane also has quite the social media presence and boasts a whopping seven million Instagram followers.
While Thylane is still very recognizable as the 'most beautiful girl in the world', Thylane has ditched her blonde locks and now has brunette hair.
From the looks of her socials, Thylane debuted her new look back in 2022.

Though things haven't been always easy for the model.
Speaking to The Telegraph in 2018, Thylane explained how she didn't register the global attention when she was younger.
"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'," 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, a teenager'.'"

The same year, Thylane launched her own fashion line, Heaven May Clothing.
The brand's unique name came from two of her middle names.
She told The Telegraph that she wanted the clothing line to have similar styles she'd choose for herself.

The then-teenager explained to the outlet: "I’m travelling a lot so I just want clothes you can wear all the time; comfortable clothes. I’m a teenager, so it’s all about hoodies, pants and jogging [bottoms]."
At the time of writing, it is unclear if Thylane's clothing line is still in operation.
The brand's Instagram account hasn't posted to its page since 2019, and its website now seemingly ceases to exist.
