Paris has a way of turning everyday celebrations into headlines—and on Monday, June 29, Thylane Blondeau’s wedding appointment did exactly that.

At 25, the model married French actor Ben Attal, 29, in an elegant civil ceremony in Paris. For the occasion, Blondeau wore a white A-line dress, styled with a poncho finished with buttons running down her back. Her glam look leaned into a polished glow: dewy skin, highlighted cheeks, and glossy lips. She slicked her brunette hair back into a twisted bun, with flowers pinned through it.

The moment that pulled people in, though, was nothing new for Blondeau. She first became a sensation in 2006, when—at just 3 years old—she was discovered in Paris by Jean Paul Gaultier. Decades of fashion spotlight followed. but her viral breakthrough came by age 6. when French magazine Vogue Enfants named her the “most beautiful girl in the world. ” sending her headshot across the internet. Even now, the image remains part of her legend.

In April, while celebrating her birthday, Blondeau reposted that famous photo, writing: “Forever grateful for this beautiful life 🤍 my family, my fiancé, my friends, my work, my brand and you guys 🤍.”

Those old headlines didn’t freeze her in time. Instead, Blondeau kept building a working life in fashion and beauty. Today, she is still a model, and she’s also the founder and creative director of her haircare line Enalyht. Her resume includes campaigns and collaborations with brands such as L’Oréal Paris. Dolce & Gabbana. Versace. Ralph Lauren. and Hugo Boss. She’s also posed for Miu Miu, Dior, Prada, and Tommy Hilfiger. In 2018, she launched her clothing line, Heaven May.

Her personal story, like her career, has also been public in the way social media loves. Blondeau and Attal announced their engagement in March via Instagram, after six years of dating. That post came with photos of them embracing and dancing on a yacht while sailing through Greece. along with a close-up of her engagement ring—featuring an oval-shaped diamond set on a simple gold band. Her caption at the time said: “I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever ✨💍.”.

The wedding day now connects all those threads: the viral child-model origin, the fashion work that never fully paused, and the relationship that moved from Greece boat photos to a Paris ceremony.

What else is people’s attention is drawn to now?. Attal’s acting credits. He is a French actor best known for roles in The Accusation. which premiered in 2021. and Rachel’s Game. which dropped in 2023. Most recently, he starred in The Heroes of the Louvre. His first role was in 2001, when he played a young boy in My Wife Is an Actress.

Blondeau’s background is its own part of the spotlight. She is the daughter of international soccer player Patrick Blondeau and French actress Véronika Loubry. Born in Aix-en-Provence, France, in April 2001, she still resides in Paris. She also has a younger brother, Ayrton-Romeo Blondeau, 19.

One civil ceremony in Paris on June 29 might be the headline—but for Blondeau, it’s also another chapter in a life that has lived under public attention since she was a child. Now, it comes with a new last name, and a public promise she wrote herself: “Here’s to forever.”
