‘Most beautiful’ model Thylane Blondeau stuns after health battle
The “most beautiful girl in the world” Thylane Blondeau has marked her return with a swimwear snap after recently revealing a scary health issue.
The “most beautiful girl in the world” has shared a sizzling new swimwear photo, proving she’s officially back after undergoing surgery following a health battle.
Thylane Blondeau was catapulted to fame at just six years old when pictures of her went viral online.
Now 21, the French model took to Instagram recently, sharing a photo of herself posing in a white swimsuit featuring a black design.
She paired the look with purple and white Nike sneakers and trendy sunglasses.
Many praised the “beautiful” new swimwear snap, shared almost a year after the model opened up about her ongoing health battle with ovarian cysts.
Thylane revealed in late 2021 that she has had multiple surgeries over the past year for complications with ovarian cysts.
She shared her health problems on Instagram at the time with photos from her hospital bed, explaining that she had surgery after an ovarian cyst “exploded in her stomach”.
“This year I saw three different gynaecologists, I’ve seen more than four radiology centres in Paris and all of them said the same thing, ‘Don’t worry, you have nothing, it’s all in your head,’” she wrote at the time.
However, the pain continued and eventually she was sent for an MRI. It showed a cyst measuring more than 5cm touching her ovary – and doctors rushed her back into theatre for another emergency operation.
“Today I’m finally feeling better, I’m finally feeling free,” she added.
“I really thought I was crazy for complaining about my stomach for so long. Happy that I never gave up.”
She advised her followers that it’s important to listen to your body.
“From this experience I’ve learned that when your body hurts, don’t let it slide and take care of it, you must see different doctors until some of them find the problem and heals it. Any pain even the little ones can hide something way more important.”
Early foray into world of modelling
The daughter of footballer Patrick Blondeau and actress Veronika Loubry, Thylane earned the title of the “most beautiful girl” when she was just six years old.
She went on to pose for French Vogue aged just 10 and landed her first magazine cover at 13.
In recent years, she’s taken the catwalk world by storm, making her adult runway debut in February 2017 for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week, where she was invited back for their September show seven months later.
She became the face of L’Oreal Paris in the same year and has also modelled for Chanel, Ralph Lauren and Lacoste.
The year following her debut, in 2018, she was placed at number one in the independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces.
Most recently, she appeared at the 2021 Paris Fashion Week.
She is represented by IMG agency, alongside sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid, as well as Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber.
Thylane is currently holidaying in France’s Saint Tropez with her boyfriend Ben Attal, who she has been dating for two years.
She has 5.8 million followers on Instagram, and runs a clothing line called No Smile.
