As the daughter of French soccer player Patrick Blondeau<\/strong> and actress-slash-presenter V\u00e9ronika Loubry<\/strong>, Thylane Blondeau<\/strong><\/a> got into the game at a young age.<\/p>\n

But instead of taking to the pitch, the native of Aix-en-Provence, France, who has a younger brother named Ayrton-Romeo Blondeau<\/strong>, was showing off her footwork on the runway, walking for Jean Paul Gaultier at the age of 4. By 5, she’d scored the title of “Most Beautiful Girl in the World,” from Vogue Enfants, a supplement of Vogue Paris highlighting luxe children’s fashions. <\/p>\n

And soon she was making the proverbial roster for brands like Hugo Boss, Dolce & Gabbana, babylos and L’Or\u00e9al. <\/p>\n

Still, “When you’re small, you don’t really pay attention,” she later explained<\/a> to the Telegraph. “People are like, ‘You know, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world’, and you’re like, ‘I’m not, I’m just playing with my iPad.'” <\/p>\n

Yet, following her first photo shoot with photographer Dani Brubaker <\/strong>at age 7, she continued to, uh, shoot her shot. <\/p>\n

And while some took issue with the then-10-year-old’s decidedly grown-up look<\/a> in Vogue Paris (complete with heels, lipstick and couture clothes), the industry certainly didn’t issue her a red card. <\/p>\n

After the Jalouse cover girl\u2014who also dabbles in dance, singing, piano and playing drums\u2014signed with IMG Models in 2015, she appeared in the French adventure drama Belle & Sebastian: The Adventure Continues, became a brand ambassador for L’Oreal Paris, posed for a Dolce & Gabbana campaign alongside Zendaya<\/strong><\/a>, Lucky Blue Smith<\/strong><\/a> and Presley Gerber<\/strong> and launched her own clothing line she dubbed Heaven May.<\/p>\n

In short, she was at the top of her game.<\/p>\n

Now the 25-year-old kicking off a new season, marrying longtime love Ben Attal<\/strong> at city hall in Paris’ 16th arrondissement June 29.<\/p>\n

And, yes, the ceremony\u2014like her life\u2014was tr\u00e9s chic. As she and Attal speed off into their future, climbing into a Porsche 356 Speedster post-vows, we’re recounting her journey thus far.<\/p>\n

Who Is Thylane Blondeau?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Much like her father\u2014who suited up as a defender for Ligue 1 and the Premier League\u2014Blondeau has got game. She’s strutted her stuff for Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabbana and Jean Paul Gaultier, earned a front row spot at runway shows like Michael Kors and Chanel and made her debut on the Cannes Film Festival<\/a> red carpet at the age of 15.<\/p>\n

And while she’s continued to book campaigns as an adult, most recently giving her 6.7 million Instagram followers a look at her collabs with the likes of Summer Fridays<\/a>, Lefties<\/a>, Clarins<\/a> and Miu Miu<\/a>, she’s most booked and busy with her own hair care line ENALYHT.<\/p>\n

“At 16, when I really started working in the modeling world, my hair changed a lot,” she shared on the site<\/a>, detailing her motivation to save her strands. “Exposed to repeated styling, heat and the stresses of daily life, it became more fragile, drier, more damaged. It was at that moment that I became aware of something essential: even when you naturally have beautiful hair, you have to take care of it to preserve it over time.”<\/p>\n

What Is Thylane Blondeau’s Net Worth?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The price of beauty? Roughly $4.2 million. At least, that’s Blondeau’s estimated net worth<\/a> after two decades of posing for designers and launching her own brands.<\/p>\n

Marking ENALYHT’s first anniversary in April<\/a>, Blondeau celebrated “over 48,000 products sold,” noting in her Instagram post, “this is just the beginning.”<\/p>\n

And that triumph came mere weeks after she turned 25, marking the milestone by detailing on Instagram that she remains “forever grateful for this beautiful life my family, my fianc\u00e9, my friends, my work, my brand and you guys.”<\/p>\n

Who Is Thylane Blondeau’s Husband?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blondeau has been huddled up with French actor and DJ Attal since 2019, but it wasn’t until this past March that the pair officially cemented their teammate status.<\/p>\n

“I said yes to my best friend,” she wrote on Instagram, showing off his scenic proposal on the Athens Riviera, and the stunning oval diamond. “Here\u2019s to forever.”<\/p>\n

Less than four months later, Blondeau slipped into a custom Eva Bouskila gown and a face full of Dior cosmetics for their city hall nuptials.<\/p>\n
