Model and entrepreneur Thylane Blondeau married French DJ Ben Attal this week in a civil ceremony at the Mairie du 16ème arrondissement in Paris. The couple, who have been together for four years, had a three-month engagement before their wedding.
Blondeau, 25, has cultivated a business empire valued at approximately $4.2 million (£3.2M/€3.7m). Her career began at the age of four, and by six, she had been dubbed "the most beautiful girl in the world" by Vogue Enfants. Despite this early recognition, Blondeau has expressed a desire to be seen as an individual rather than defined by the title, stating in 2018 that she distanced herself from the label.
She has modeled for prominent fashion houses including Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, L'Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss. Her early career also included a controversial photoshoot for Vogue Paris at age 10, which drew criticism for allegedly sexualizing her. Blondeau has emphasized forging her own path, independent of her parents, retired footballer Patrick Blondeau and fashion designer Veronika Loubry.
Beyond her modeling work, Blondeau is the founder of the haircare brand ENALYHT, which she established after regaining her own hair health. The brand's products include a repair mask and a nourishing hair oil. She also previously launched two clothing lines, Heaven May and No Smile, though these businesses appear to be no longer active.
Blondeau and Attal became engaged recently, with Attal proposing at the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel in Greece. Blondeau shared news of the engagement on social media, showcasing an oval diamond ring.
The wedding ceremony saw Blondeau wearing a white gown with cape detailing. The newlyweds arrived at the venue together in a Porsche 356 Speedster, greeted by guests.
