Thylane Blondeau Will Be the Next Big It Model by the Time You're Done Reading This

Apr 5 2017 - 4:43pm

We wouldn't be surprised if you've already heard French model Thylane Blondeau's name. The 16-year-old covered Vogue Enfants [1] when she was just 6, and two years before that, she was walking down the Jean Paul Gaultier runway. If you're assuming this caused a stir in the fashion industry, you'd be right — many people felt she was being objectified in the 2011 issue of Vogue Paris [2]. But fast forward a few years, and Thylane scored a major spot on Jalouse [3] and contracts with IMG Models and L'Oréal.

After she made her debut on the Cannes red carpet [4], mastering a look that was both playful and sophisticated, we were sure of it: Thylane is following in the footsteps [5] of your favorite It girls.
