Daughter of French footballer Patrick Blondeau and Véronika Loubry, Thylane Blondeau recently caused a stir at the Cannes Film Festival, making her red carpet debut as the new face of L'Oréal Paris at the BFG premiere.

Blondeau first caught the world’s attention in 2011, at the age of ten, when she made headlines for appearing in a provocative beauty shoot for Vogue Paris wearing a plunging gold dress. But the young model has been modelling since the age of four after Jean Paul Gaultier scouted her in the street and cast her in one of his catwalk shows. Campaigns for the likes of Ralph Lauren and Lacoste quickly followed, and she's since launched a YouTube channel and earned 355 thousand Instagram followers. The 15 year old who is signed with IMG Models - one of the biggest international model agencies who has Lara Stone and Joan Smalls on its books - is also turning her hand to film, having starred in French action adventure Belle & Sebastian: The Adventure Continues.
