Early years. Carier start
Thylane Lena Rose Blondeau is the daughter of designer and France 5 TV star Veronica Loubry and the famous Olympique Marseille defender Patrick Blondeau. Thylane was born in the south of France, in Aix-en-Provence on April 5, 2001, and 6 years later she had a brother, Ayrton.

Soon after the birth of their son, Veronica and Patrick felt a cooling towards each other; for several years they continued to live together, but they still could not save the marriage.

The world first heard about Thylane in 2005, when she, holding the hand of one of the models, walked onto the catwalk during the show of the collection of revolutionary couturier Jean-Paul Gaultier. Shortly before the show, Veronica, who was walking with little Thylane along the Champs-Elysees, was approached by the couturier's assistants, who were looking for a little girl who looked like Brigitte Bardot.
Two years later, Veronica entered into a contract on behalf of her daughter with the famous fashion house Jean Paul Gaultier, and amazingly beautiful photographs of the little model appeared in Vogue Enfants.

Seventeen-year-old French fashion model Thylane Blondeau gained popularity in early childhood. The little girl began her path to modeling at the age of 4, and now she, along with world-famous stars, proudly walks along the catwalks at the shows of great couturiers. She was once called the most beautiful girl in the world.

In 2020, at the New York Michael Kors fashion show, the girl sat in the front row, next to Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman. Apparently, the model has already been ranked among the megastars.
Over the years of her career, Thylane managed to work with such fashion brands as Jean Paul Gaultier, Lacoste, Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren, Massimo Duty Chanel, Dolce and Gabanna, L'Oreal and others.

Since the age of 12, the girl has been collaborating with the IMG-Models agency, thanks to which she has appeared on the covers of the most famous magazines: Vogue, L'Officiel Paris and Enfants, Jalouse Magazine and Marie Claire.
Now the model is not only actively working, but also conquering the Internet. More than one and a half million people have already subscribed to her Instagram account, and most fans consider her an extraordinary beauty.
The outrageous girl will surprise the world more than once. Or it just seems so.
Provocative photographs in Vogue Paris
In 2011, photographs of a ten-year-old model in the August French Vogue caused a loud scandal, which undoubtedly played in favor of Thylane herself. American human rights activists called the appearance of a photo of a child, who appeared on the pages of a glossy Parisian publication in provocative adult images, exploitation and deliberate sexualization of a child for the purpose of extracting commercial profit.

The main portion of criticism went, of course, to Tilan’s mother, who was even forced to temporarily close her Facebook and Tumblr pages. Residents of France did not see anything contrary to either law or morality in Veronica’s act, which is explained primarily by the liberal foundations of French society and some features of the national mentality.

In an interview, Madame Loubri noted more than once that the only thing that could shock her personally was the diamond necklace in one of Thylane’s photographs, the approximate cost of which exceeded 3 million euros. The TV presenter said that she does not accept criticism, citing popular brands that produce clothing collections for children that completely copy adults, for example, Zadig & Voltaire, APC or Maje, which allows girls aged 6 to 16 years to wear clothes exactly - just like their mothers.
Particularly serious human rights activists compared Loubri's act with a case from the biography of the famous French photographer Irina Ionesco, who in the 60s of the 20th century took and sold erotic photographs of her young daughter, who is considered the youngest Playboy model in the entire history of the magazine: Eva Ionesco was only 11 years.

However, after Veronica's lawyers contacted those especially vehemently accusing her of exploiting her daughter, the criticism against the woman ended. The scandal that never broke out, however, benefited Thylane’s career, which some called a small copy of Brigitte Bardot, while others compared it to Brooke Shields.
Further career
In 2014, the young French model joined the team of the famous international IMG Models, but she was able to start working only when she turned 15.

In the same year, the young beauty received an invitation to play the role of 14-year-old girl Gabrielle, forced to impersonate a boy, in the film “Belle and Sebastian: The Adventure Continues.” The premiere screening of the film took place at the end of 2020; viewers appreciated the performance of Thylane, who starred in the company of Felix Bossuet, Thierry Nevich and Tchéky Karyo.

Since 2020, Tilan has been developing a professional career as an adult model. She has advertised the products of the most famous brands of clothing, accessories, perfumes and cosmetics, and more than once became the face of Chanel, Dolce&Gabbana, Hugo Boss, Cacharel and L'Oréal Paris.
Model business
Tilan's first filming in advertising projects took place when the girl was 4 years old. The little girl was recognized as the most beautiful and highest paid model in the world. The first company with which Blondeau signed a contract was Jean Paul Gaultier.
In 2011, Thylane found herself at the center of a scandal. The girl had a provocative photo shoot in Vogue magazine, which seemed unacceptable to the public for a 10-year-old child. The publication's managers were accused of molesting young children.

In the photo, the model appeared in the image of a “priestess of love.” The teenager was brightly made up and dressed in dresses with revealing slits. To this were added the poses of an adult and seductive woman. Guest editor and designer Tom Ford was responsible for this issue of the magazine.
The Mothers' Union of Great Britain stated that the problem lies not with the publishing house, but with the modeling agency representing Thylane's interests. Agents do not understand that they are working with a child, not an adult. According to the chairman of the organization, such photo sessions are a “restriction of children’s rights.”

Psychologists agree. Experts believe that filming in such images has a negative impact on the psychological state of the model. They explain this by saying that girls begin to look at the world not through children's eyes. At the same time, age and experience are not enough to form a correct assessment of what is happening.
The scandal had a positive impact on Thylane's career. After 3 years, the young model became part of the team of the international modeling agency IMG Models. The contract has been signed, but according to the organization’s rules, the girl will be able to start working at the age of 15. In addition, the girl opened her own channel on YouTube.

Over the course of several years, the girl has repeatedly become the face of famous brands, including Lacoste, HugoBoss, Jean Paul Gaultier, Ralph Lauren, Massimo Dutti, Pull&Bear, Paul&Joesister, Chanel, Little Eleven Paris, H&M, Dolce&Gabbana, L'Oréal Paris.
They wanted to see the girl’s face on the covers of fashion magazines. The editors of Vogue, L'officiel Enfants, Jalouse Magazine, L'Officiel Paris, Marie Claire still invite Thylane to shoot.
The French girl is becoming more and more popular every day. In 2014, an invitation came from the creators of the film “Belle and Sebastian”. The model reincarnated as Gabrielle. Viewers were able to see Thylane on the big screen for the first time in December 2015.

In May 2020, the young model shone at the Cannes Film Festival. The girl has modest parameters: height 168 cm, weight 58 kg. But Tilan appeared in front of photographers in a luxurious image. Blondeau had her hair done lightly and complemented with simple and weightless makeup. For her appearance, the girl chose a laconic black dress.
Representatives of the modeling business and designers predict Tilan's success in the future. Experts often compare Blondeau with another young model, Kristina Pimenova, who was recognized as the most beautiful girl.
Personal life of Thylane Blondeau
Thylane, who celebrated her 18th birthday in 2020, has officially entered adulthood, but, probably, the constant attention to which she has become accustomed since early childhood forces her to lead a closed lifestyle.

On the pages of the young star on social networks you can see photographs of her in the company of friends, with her parents and with her mother’s new husband, producer Gerard Kadosh.
Tilan leads a closed lifestyle
In the summer of 2020, photographs of Tilan shopping in Los Angeles in the company of an attractive young model Milan Maritti appeared in the media, but it is not known exactly what kind of relationship Tilan and Milan have; perhaps they are just friends. Tilan is very close to her mother, Veronica tries to surround her daughter with care and helps her build a career. Thylane calls Drake one of her favorite performers; she dreams of living in Los Angeles and admits that she rarely smiles because she does not consider her smile attractive.
