Thylane Blondeau — once hailed by international media as “the world’s most beautiful girl” — has recently made a striking appearance at Paris Fashion Week 2026.
At the Miu Miu Spring–Summer 2026 show, the French model turned heads in a brown tailored suit paired with a V-neck knit top and pointed-toe heels. Her wavy brunette hair and natural makeup exuded the timeless elegance of Parisian chic.
From “Child Angel” to Successful Model and Entrepreneur
Born in 2001 in France, Thylane Blondeau entered the fashion industry at just four years old after being discovered by a representative of Jean Paul Gaultier.
In 2007, she became a global phenomenon when photos of her angelic face, deep blue eyes, and golden hair spread rapidly across the internet. Many dubbed her “the little princess of modeling” or “the world’s most beautiful girl.”

At just 10 years old, Thylane made history as the youngest model ever to appear in Vogue Paris — a milestone that paved the way for her illustrious career. Over the years, she has collaborated with luxury fashion houses such as Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, L’Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss, securing her place among the world’s top models.
Now, 18 years later, the once-viral child prodigy has grown into an independent, successful, and confident woman. With over 6.8 million Instagram followers, Thylane stands as a digital-age fashion icon, frequently sharing behind-the-scenes looks from photo shoots, red-carpet appearances, and her everyday life.

Amid online rumors about plastic surgery, Thylane addressed the speculation with poise and honesty:
“I’ve never had surgery or any procedures done. If you compare my childhood photos, you’ll see I haven’t changed. Wearing lip liner or makeup doesn’t mean I’ve had surgery. It’s time to stop these assumptions.”
Beyond Modeling: A Rising Businesswoman
Beyond her modeling career, Thylane has proven her talent as a creative entrepreneur. She is the founder and creative director of the beauty and haircare brand Enalyht, as well as the owner of fashion label Heaven May Clothing, showcasing her ambition to build a sustainable fashion and lifestyle empire.
The "most beautiful girl in the world" has now become a successful model and businesswoman, making her mark in the international fashion industry.
In 2021, Thylane faced serious health challenges, undergoing multiple surgeries due to complications from an ovarian cyst. After recovering, she shared an empowering message online:
“If your body shows signs that something’s wrong, don’t ignore them. Keep seeking answers until you find out why. Even small pains can hide serious problems.”
Her openness and resilience have inspired millions of followers around the world.
