French model Thylane Blondeau, who was once famously called the “most beautiful girl in the world,” has announced her engagement to her partner, Benjamin Attal. The 24-year-old model shared the joyful news with fans on Instagram, posting romantic photos from what appeared to be a dreamy getaway in Greece.
In the pictures, Blondeau can be seen standing beside Attal while proudly showing off a stunning engagement ring. The scenic backdrop of the proposal, set by the water and decorated with rose petals, added to the romantic moment.
“I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever,” Blondeau wrote in the caption of the Instagram post, celebrating the special milestone with her followers.
The proposal appeared to take place at a candlelit table near the water, creating an intimate and picturesque setting. Attal, a French actor, chose the romantic location to pop the question. Adding an adorable touch to the moment, the couple’s Pomeranian dog was also featured in some of the photos shared online.
Blondeau first captured global attention as a child. She rose to fame in 2006 when she appeared on the cover of Vogue Enfants at just six years old. The appearance sparked worldwide discussion and helped her gain the title of the “most beautiful girl in the world.” The recognition was further cemented when she appeared in TC Candler’s annual ranking of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces.

Since then, Blondeau has built a successful modeling career. She is currently represented by IMG Models, one of the world’s leading modeling agencies. In addition to modeling, she has also ventured into entrepreneurship. Blondeau identifies herself on social media as the founder and creative director of Enalyht, a haircare brand whose name is her own spelled backwards.
The engagement announcement quickly attracted congratulatory messages from friends, fans, and family members. Blondeau’s mother, Veronika Loubry, expressed her happiness in an emotional comment on the post.
“Life has thrown me through some storms lately, but today, seeing you get engaged to the most wonderful son-in-law, I feel like a little ray of sunshine is finally breaking through the clouds,” Loubry wrote. She also added that she was excited to start planning the wedding and shared how proud the family felt of the couple.
Makeup artist Andreea Ali also joined the wave of congratulations, calling the couple “the most beautiful” and celebrating their big moment.
Blondeau and Attal reportedly began dating in 2022, and their relationship has steadily grown stronger since then. The couple has occasionally shared glimpses of their life together on social media, giving fans a look at their travels and special moments.
Despite her glamorous life in the spotlight, Blondeau has also had to deal with online criticism and speculation. In October 2025, she attended the Paris Fashion Week and was photographed outside the Palais d’Iéna while attending the Miu Miu show.
However, the model later addressed online rumors regarding her appearance. After posting a screenshot of a follower asking what she had “done with her lips,” Blondeau responded on Instagram, saying she was tired of the speculation.
“I know that in this generation people tend to do things very early, but I’ve never touched anything,” she wrote, dismissing the rumors about cosmetic procedures.
Now, with the engagement announcement, Blondeau appears to be entering a new and exciting chapter in her life. Fans around the world have flooded her social media with messages of support and congratulations, celebrating the model’s journey from child star to successful fashion figure—and now a bride-to-be.
