Thylane Blondeau is married.
The 25-year-old French model married longtime partner Ben Attal in Paris on Monday, June 29. People reported that the couple wed in a city hall ceremony in Paris’ 16th arrondissement, with Blondeau sharing several glimpses from the day on Instagram Stories.
Blondeau first became internationally known as a child model after Vogue Enfants named her the “Most Beautiful Girl in the World” in 2006.
Her wedding coverage has brought that childhood label back into headlines, but the day itself was a classic Paris civil ceremony with a designer gown, a vintage car and a tiny tuxedo for the couple’s dog.

People reported that Blondeau wore a floor-length Eva Bouskila gown with a capelet and buttons down the back. Her hair was styled in a chignon decorated with small white flowers.
Blondeau also shared behind-the-scenes moments from her bridal preparation, including makeup by Andreea Ali and hair by Fabio Petri. One of the most shared details from the day was her dog, who appeared dressed for the occasion in a black-and-white tuxedo.
The model posted photos of herself and Attal signing the marriage registry at city hall. She also shared a clip of the newlyweds riding through Paris in a classic Porsche 356 Speedster, with Attal driving and Blondeau holding her bouquet from the passenger seat.

Blondeau and Attal’s wedding came about three months after their engagement. People reported that Blondeau announced the proposal on Instagram on March 8, writing, “I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever.”
The engagement took place during a getaway in Greece, where Blondeau shared photos of the couple embracing and a close-up of her diamond ring.
Just Jared reported that Blondeau and Attal began dating in 2020. The outlet described Attal as a French actor.
Her Childhood Title Still Follows Her
Blondeau was named the “Most Beautiful Girl in the World” by Vogue Enfants in 2006, when she was a child model. People reported that she began modeling at age 4 and later worked with fashion names including Jean Paul Gaultier, Dolce & Gabbana and Hugo Boss.
The title has followed Blondeau into adulthood, even as her work has moved well beyond the old child-model headline. She remains signed with IMG Models and has also built her own brand outside runway and campaign work.
Blondeau has previously pushed back on being defined by the label. Just Jared cited a 2018 interview with The Telegraph in which she said, “I’m still not, I’m just a human being, a teenager.”
