French model Thylane Blondeau has married her longtime partner, actor and DJ Ben Attal, in a wedding ceremony held in Paris, marking a new chapter for the couple just three months after announcing their engagement.

The 25-year-old model exchanged vows with Attal during a civil ceremony at the Mairie du 16ème arrondissement in Paris on Monday.

Blondeau wore a custom couture gown by Eva Bouskila Bridal featuring a floor-length white dress with a capelet, while Attal opted for a navy suit. The couple arrived in a platinum Porsche 356 Speedster, with the Eiffel Tower providing the backdrop for the celebrations.

Blondeau announced her engagement to Attal in March following a proposal during a holiday in Greece. Sharing the news on social media at the time, she wrote, "I said yes to my best friend. Here's to forever."

Blondeau first rose to international fame at the age of six after being described as the "most beautiful girl in the world" by Vogue Enfants in 2006. She had already begun modelling at the age of four and later became the youngest model to appear in Vogue Paris at just 10 years old.

Her early career also attracted controversy following a 2010 fashion editorial, with critics questioning the styling and presentation of the then-preteen model. Despite the criticism, Blondeau went on to establish a successful career, walking for leading fashion houses and securing major advertising campaigns.

In 2018, she was once again named the "most beautiful girl" by TC Candler's annual list, although she distanced herself from the label.

Speaking to The Telegraph that year, Blondeau said, "Even today, people are like, 'You are the most beautiful girl.' And I'm like, 'No, I'm still not; I'm just a human being, a teenager'."

Blondeau and Attal began dating in 2020, and their Paris wedding marks the latest milestone in their six-year relationship.
