Do you remember the little French child model Thylane Blondeau.?? In 2011 she was regarded as the most beautiful girl in the world. But!! Although even as a little child she was pretty no doubt, she also raked up a controversy regarding the topic of child modeling. Her photo shoot in Vogue six years ago raised many eyebrows and public concern. Many wondered how her parents French celebrity couple Patrick Blondeau (the football star) and Veronika Loubry got her into modeling at the age of four.
Well! Since then Thylane has always been the center of attraction good or bad but now she is all grown up and here’s what she is doing now.
1 Her first fashion show was at the age of four
Thylane Léna-Rose Loubry Blondeau was born in Aix en Provence of France on 5th April 2001.As a child model; there was a grave concern as to how children would be affected in future but with those piercing blue eyes Thylane was also an instant hit when she first walked down the ramp at a Jean Paul Gaultier show in 2005. It was evident that this young girl would grow up into a stunning young woman.
Thylane was about to be thrust into the world of glamour and fashion with the consent of her parents. However, it would result in a huge controversy when child psychologists and critics questioned the ethics of exposing a child to such a world at that tender age.

2 Controversy erupts at her first photo shoot for vogue
At the time when Blondeau was modeling, there wasn’t much controversy back then. But when at the age of ten she took part in a Vogue fashion shoot that was the time the issue raked up a storm. Several countries have even banned models below 16. Rather than praise, the Vogue photo shoot received huge criticism and there was uproar as to how children were being exploited and made to look like adults. Strictly speaking, it really wasn’t a good thing.
As if that wasn’t enough, at the age of 13, she was again chosen for another photo shoot appearing on the cover of Jalouse Magazine which named her the new Kate Moss.
