Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau is from the Ivory coast. She was born April 5, 2011 in France and is 10 years old. She’s not only adorable, but stunning, with a face that reminds us of Brigitte Bardot in a way that no one has besides Lara Stone; and that perfectly messy Lou Doillon-esque hair that only the French seem to be able to attain. It’s a tad disconcerting how much she just looks like a model (I guess she is only a few years shy of real working model age), but not as disconcerting as one of the editorials she was put in.
Judging by the sheer number of photographs of her on the internet, she must be booking modeling jobs left and right. However, we have to call out a few of them that seem just a smidge mature for the pre-teen. For example, in a few of them she’s reclining seductively in stilettos and evening gowns and more makeup and jewelry than anyone under the age of 30 should be wearing. In the above photo, she is inexplicably holding bunny rabbits. But most of the photos are pretty normal and age-appropriate.
Blondeau already has a significant internet following. Fuck Yeah Thylane Blondeau is a Tumblr dedicated to her that already boasts an impressive number of editorial shots from the model’s portfolio, including a Vogue Enfants cover. There’s also a Facebook fan page, a disturbing number of those YouTube montage videos and several posts dedicated to her on the blogosphere.
This may seem similar to Brooke Shields' rise to stardom. Back in 1975, Terri Shields allowed her 10 year old daughter to be photographed nude, causing a public uproar which is still talked about today.
At ten years old... Blondeau is a already a hot commodity. Appearing in many ads.... she is simply put... one gorgeous little girl. Her photographs and her beauty just seem to stop you in your tracks
