Model dubbed ‘most beautiful girl in the world’ rakes in more fans than ex-footy star dad

Model Thylane Blondeau, who was once crowned the ‘most beautiful girl in the world’, is now more famous than her ex-footballer father.

The 21-year-old stunner is the daughter of French defender Patrick Blondeau, who previously player for Premier League teams Watford and Sheffield Wednesday back in 1997/98.

Her mum is actress and TV presenter Veronika Loubry, and after landing the top spot on TC Candler’s Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces list at the age of six, her career took off.

Thylane landed modelling gigs with French designer Jean Paul Gaultier, appeared in Vogue, and has also worked with the likes of Dolce & Gabbana.

And in 2018, the French-born beauty was crowned the ‘most beautiful’ yet again, and she thanked her fans for their support.

Thylane has now racked up more than five million followers on social media, and is currently enjoying a successful modelling career, working with supermodels including her idol, Gigi Hadid.

When asked about her inspiration, she said: “Bella and Gigi Hadid. These are my sources of fashion inspiration.”

She previously spoke about her growing fanbase, which has eclipsed her father’s, and said she’s enlisted the help of her mother to help with messages.

“You know, this does not affect me in any way. I'm still young, I'm pleased. And I try to do everything for my 'Thylaners',” she said back in 2015.

“I talk with them all the time, and often my mother helps me to answer messages.”

The model recently joined TikTok, and her videos have racked up more than half a million views.

She’s also started a fashion TikTok page, which sees her pose in a variety of different outfits, as she asks her fans to help choose what she wears.

Thylane is also dabbling in Hollywood, and has already appeared in one film - The Loneliest Boy in the World, opposite Ben Miller, which is due out later this year - and is filming another.
