Thylane Blondeau has married partner Ben Attal in Paris, marking a new milestone for the model once dubbed the “most beautiful girl in the world.” The 25-year-old said “I do” at the Mairie du 16ème arrondissement in a ceremony that put love, not celebrity, at the center.
Blondeau shared a brief glimpse of the day on Instagram Stories, writing “Love” alongside an image of the couple exchanging vows. The wedding came just months after the pair announced their engagement while on a romantic trip to Greece in the spring.
A Paris wedding with a couture finish
The bride chose a custom Eva Bouskila Bridal gown for the occasion, pairing the floor-length white dress with a capelet and Dior cosmetics. She completed the look with a chignon decorated with small white flowers and carried cream-colored calla lilies.
Attal, a French actor and DJ, wore a navy suit for the town hall ceremony. The couple arrived at the venue in a platinum Porsche 356 Speedster and were greeted by guests who captured the moment on phones and cameras.

From child model to global recognition
Blondeau first became widely known at age six, after Vogue Enfants named her the “most beautiful girl in the world” in 2006. Her rise began even earlier, when she walked for Jean Paul Gaultier at age four.
By 10, she had become the youngest model to pose for Vogue Paris. That 2010 editorial drew criticism from observers who felt the images were too sexualized for a preteen model.
Her career later included work on the runway for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week at 17, along with roles as a brand ambassador for L’Oreal and the face of a perfume by French designer Lolita Lempicka. She also received the same “most beautiful” recognition again in 2018 from TC Candler’s annual awards list.
Blondeau has previously pushed back against the label. In an interview with The Telegraph in 2018, she said, “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.’”
A relationship that stayed mostly private
Blondeau and Attal began dating in 2020 after her split from French DJ Milane Meritte. The pair first went Instagram official in January 2019, and their engagement followed in March, when Attal proposed with an enormous diamond on a solid gold band.
The couple marked that engagement at the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel in Greece, overlooking the Athens Riviera and the Aegean Sea. Blondeau later wrote online, “I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever.”
