Thylane Blondeau, once celebrated as "the most beautiful girl in the world," has exchanged vows in the French capital.
The 25-year-old model, daughter of French soccer star Patrick Blondeau and TV personality Véronika Loubry, shot to fame in 2007 after gracing the cover of Vogue Enfants. Thylane Blondeau and Ben Attal wed in an intimate private ceremony in Paris on Monday, June 29, amid a scorching heatwave, surrounded by close friends and family.

Thylane first captured the world's attention in 2007 at just six years old, her distinctive features - long blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and sun-kissed skin - epitomizing Eurocentric beauty standards.
She wed 29-year-old DJ Ben Attal just three months after announcing their engagement on Instagram. The couple began dating in 2020, a year after Thylane's split from French DJ Milane Meritte, reports the Mirror US.

The newlyweds made a grand entrance, arriving together in a classic Porsche 356 Speedster. The French beauty dazzled in an elegant white gown featuring a distinctive cape bodice, complemented by a bouquet of white calla lilies.
Thylane launched her modeling career at four years old, taking to the runway for Jean-Paul Gaultier, a move that thrust her firmly into the spotlight. She earned the title of the "world's most beautiful girl" in 2007 following her appearance on the cover of Vogue Enfants at just six years old.
Her image spread rapidly across the internet, captivating Vogue readers with the young girl's remarkable looks. In 2010, at nine years old, she featured in another Vogue Enfants photoshoot that sparked controversy, as she was photographed wearing high heels, short skirts and full makeup, prompting widespread criticism over the sexualization of the child.
Throughout her career, Thylane has collaborated with numerous designers, fashion houses, and beauty brands, among them Dolce and Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, L'Oréal, Chanel, and Versace, cementing her status as an industry fixture for nearly two decades.

Her father, Patrick, enjoyed a distinguished soccer career, competing in the country's Premier League and Liga 1, as well as representing the France national team before hanging up his boots in 2005.
Despite earning a national team call-up in 1997, he was notably absent from France's victorious squad at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
