‘Most beautiful’ model Thylane Blondeau stuns in bikini
Thylane Blondeau, who made headlines for her striking looks as a six-year-old child, is now a successful model at 20.
Thylane Blondeau was named the world’s “most beautiful girl” at age six, with her striking blue eyes making her an international name in the fashion industry.
Fast-forward to today and the now-20-year-old continues to work as a model for big name brands like Prada and Dolce & Gabbana.
On Thursday, Thylane was spotted making the most of the Northern Hemisphere summer going for a dip in St Tropez, France.

She was at the famous Le Club 55, a French Rivera beach club made famous by Bridgette Bardot in the 1950s.
Thylane, who was wearing a white bikini and black wayfarer sunglasses, was seen walking hand-in-hand with her boyfriend before the pair got into the water to cool off.
The daughter of French footballer Patrick Blondeau and TV presenter Veronika Loubry, Thylane began her modelling career at age four when she walked in a fashion show for Jean Paul Gaultier.

At age six, she was named the world’s most beautiful girl by TC Candler’s annual 100 Most Beautiful Faces of the Year in 2007.
But her modelling career hasn’t been without controversy – a French Vogue shoot featuring a 10-year-old Thylane wearing heavy makeup and adult clothes attracted criticism for being too grown up.
In 2019, she topped TC Candler’s annual 100 Most Beautiful Faces of the Year list again, writing on Instagram that she was so grateful to once again come in first.
“I just can’t believe it myself … thanks so much @tccandler and everyone who voted,” Thylane wrote. “I’m thankful to all of you.”
Today Thylane is represented by top modelling agency IMG alongside the likes of Kaia Gerber and Gigi Hadid.
She also owns her own fashion label, No Smile Clothing, which sells bath robes and tracksuit sets.
