Thylane Blondeau cut a casual figure in a chic look as she was pH๏τographed during the Cannes Film Festival on Monday.

The model, who was known as the ‘most beautiful girl in the world’, 24, wore a Dior jumper with rolled-up sleeves as she was pictured at the Martinez H๏τel.

Thylane paired the jumper with baggy black jeans, an Hermes Birkin bag and sunglᴀsses to create a casual yet glam daytime look.

The French model has been making headlines in recent weeks after fans discovered that she was once named the most beautiful girl in the world and shared her modelling snaps over the years.

This is not the model’s first appearance at Cannes either and she wowed in 2024 when she donned a classic black pencil dress for the red carpet. 

While very much now a grown up, the striking features that made her a recognisable child are still apparent.

Thylane was three when she was catapulted to the spotlight after an agent for the legendary fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier picked her out of a crowd in The Champs-Elysees and sent her strutting down a runway.

As well as her infamous cover shoot for Vogue Enfants, she has gone on to work for some of the biggest couture brands in the world including Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, L’Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss. 

Thylane walked for Jean Paul Gaultier at the age of four and then later, aged 10, became the youngest ever model to pose for Vogue Paris.

In a 2018 interview with The Telegraph, she said she distanced herself from the girl who was once declared the world’s ‘most beautiful’.

‘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.’

Since reaching adulthood, the model has also used her platform to share a private health battle that affects women the world over.  

In 2021, Paris-based Blondeau revealed she’d recently had multiple surgeries for complications with ovarian cysts.

The French beauty explained that on Instagram she had surgery in 2020 after an ovarian cyst ‘exploded in my stomach.’

Sharing pH๏τos of herself in her hospital gown and an image of her scan, Thylane went on to explain that she began experiencing pain again three months after her first surgery.

However, when she sought medical treatment she was told that the pain she was experiencing was ‘all in your head’.  

Thylane said she had to go to A&E ‘because my belly was hurting so much I couldn’t handle it anymore and they said that everything was fine and that I had a lil kyste and I will have to do a check up in 2-3 months.’

‘The day after this I had this appointment with an amazing doctor who directly saw that I had a kyste of 5,6 cm who was touching my ovary so he sent me to do an IRM and an hour after this, the doctor called me and ask me to go straight to the hospital to do an emergency operation.’

‘From this experience I’ve learned that when you’re 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.’
