It was only two years later - at age six - that she was crowned “the most beautiful girl in the world” thanks to her striking eyes, and blonde hair.

The young model is the daughter of former French football player Patrick Blondeau and TV host Veronika Loubry. 

At age 16, she signed with IMG Models, joining ranks with fashion's elite such as Alexa Chung, Bella Hadid, and Hailey Bieber.

Not only has Blondeau strutted down runways for prestigious fashion giants like Dolce & Gabbana, L'Oréal Paris, and Versace, but she has also founded her fashion brand, Heaven May, and made her film debut in Belle & Sebastian: The Adventure Continues.

Beyond the catwalk, the French star has built a massive social media empire with over seven million followers on Instagram, transitioning her iconic blond locks to a stunning brunette shade - a look she debuted back in 2022.

On November 13, the 23-year-old made an appearance at Elie Saab’s 45th-anniversary runway show in Saudi Arabia.

Blondeau donned a gorgeous off-the-shoulder black floor-length gown that had white lace detailing and a pleated black skirt. To finish her look, she sported gold jewelry and held a simple black clutch that allowed her incredible dress to steal the show.

She shared snaps of her evening look on her Instagram page, and it has amassed many comments from fans praising her beauty.

"I now understand why you're the most beautiful lady in the world," one user remarked, while another echoed: "The most beautiful girl in the world."

A third chimed in: "You must have had an unforgettable evening, you looked gorgeous in this dress."

Despite the Belle & Sebastian: The Adventure Continues actress' high-profile status, Blondeau's journey hasn't been without its bumps.

In a candid 2018 interview with The Telegraph, she reflected on the surreal nature of her fame.

"People are like, 'You know, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world', and you’re like, 'I’m not, I’m just playing with my iPad'," she shared. "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.'"
