Once dubbed 'the most beautiful girl in the world' at just six years old, Thylane Blondeau is still attracting attention at 24.
The model was caught on camera at Paris Fashion Week, and fans are still praising her beautiful good looks.
She was spotted outside the the Miu Miu show on Monday wearing a brown wool suit with a cream-colored V-neck sweater underneath, teamed with glasses and her hair down.
Blondeau as scouted as a child, when she took to the runway at the age of just four-years-old. Many children are watching cartoons then or climbing trees, but Blondeau was already earning money as a model for Jean Paul Gaultier.

Her big break came after an agent for the designer spotted her in a crowd, and the rest is history.
The stunning model regularly turns heads, but still receives criticism and jealousy online. She recently hit back at critics who claimed the 24-year-old has been under the knife and had cosmetic surgery to enhance her face.
On Instagram Stories she said she was 'tired' of the accusations.
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 insisted.
"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," she pleaded.
She posed for Vogue Paris when she was just 10 years old, after being dubbed the 'most beautiful girl in the world' when she was aged just six. As well as modelling, she is also the director of a beauty and hair care brand called ENALYHT (her name, spelled backwards)
Her parents are former footballer Patrick Blondea, and TV presenter Véronika Loubry, so there are definitely good genes there.
She has modelled for the likes of Chanel, Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, L’Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss, and has racked up almost seven million Instagram followers. Despite all of the attention she has received, she said in an interview with The Telegraph in 2018 that she's 'just a human being'.
"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." she joked.
"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," added the model.
She has also used social media to raise awareness of health conditions, as she has suffered with ovarian cysts and had to have surgery despite being told by doctors the pain was 'all in your head'.
