From “Most Beautiful Girl in the World” at Age 6 to Blushing Bride at 25: Thylane Blondeau’s Fairytale Wedding in Paris Leaves Fans Speechless
Thylane Blondeau, the French model who captured the world’s hearts as a child when she was crowned “the most beautiful girl in the world,” has now stepped into a new chapter of her life as a married woman. At just 25 years old, she exchanged vows with her longtime partner, Benjamin (Ben) Attal, a 29-year-old entrepreneur in the fashion industry and DJ, in an intimate civil ceremony held at the Mairie du 16ème arrondissement in Paris on June 29, 2026.
The wedding, which took place amid a summer heatwave in the City of Love, was the culmination of a romance that began around 2020. The couple, who had been together for several years, announced their engagement just three months earlier during a dreamy getaway to Greece. Thylane shared romantic photos from the proposal, which featured a stunning diamond ring, and captioned them with a heartfelt message: “I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever.”
On her big day, Thylane looked radiant in a custom white satin gown designed by Eva Bouskila, featuring elegant cape-like details that added a sophisticated touch. She styled her brunette hair in a chic updo adorned with delicate white flowers and carried a bouquet of cream calla lilies. Ben complemented her look in a classic navy suit. The newlyweds arrived in style, pulling up to the venue in a vintage silver Porsche 356 Speedster, greeted by smiling family and friends who captured the joyful moments.
Thylane’s journey to this happy milestone began in the spotlight at a remarkably young age. Born in Aix-en-Provence to former footballer Patrick Blondeau and television presenter Véronika Loubry, she was handpicked by Jean Paul Gaultier to walk the runway at just four years old. By age six, a photoshoot for Vogue Enfants propelled her to global fame, earning her the title that would follow her for years. She later became the youngest model to appear in Vogue Paris at age 10, collaborated with major brands like Dolce & Gabbana, L’Oréal, Gucci, and Versace, and even launched her own fashion line, Heaven May.
Despite the early acclaim, Thylane has spoken candidly about the pressures of being labeled the “most beautiful girl,” emphasizing in past interviews that she simply wanted to be seen as a normal person rather than defined by her looks. This grounded perspective has shaped her into a resilient entrepreneur and influencer with millions of followers who admire her authenticity and evolution from child star to confident woman.
The wedding was a family affair, with Thylane’s mother Véronika Loubry—still grieving the loss of her husband Gérard Kadoche—present and beaming with emotion alongside other loved ones and notable guests. The day oozed simple elegance, from Thylane’s preparations at the luxurious Shangri-La hotel overlooking the Eiffel Tower to the couple’s joyful departure.
In a world where childhood fame often comes with challenges, Thylane Blondeau’s story stands out as one of grace, growth, and genuine love. As she begins married life with Ben, who has remained supportively out of the intense limelight, fans are celebrating what appears to be a true fairytale ending—or rather, a beautiful new beginning. Her journey reminds us that even those who grow up under the world’s gaze can find happiness on their own terms.
