She was branded ‘the most beautiful girl in the world’ as a child. 

And 20-year-old model Thylane Blondeau paraded her phenomenal figure in Saint Tropez on Saturday, wearing a simple yet stunning dusty blue bikini. 

Thylane looked every inch the beach beauty as she cosied up with her handsome beau Ben Attal by the water’s edge.

The French fashionista added to her chic look with black sunglasses and swept her tresses into a bun. 

Thylane has clearly been making the most of her time in the sunny coastal resort and spent some time on Saturday taking a dip in the clear waters.

Ben – who Thylane began dating last year – was spotted placing a hand tenderly on her back, wearing black swimming shorts.

Thylane, who founded her own clothing brand Heaven May back in 2018, also shared a radiant selfie from her time on the French Riviera to Instagram recently. 

Donning a cap and black bikini, she showed off her natural beauty and bronzed skin, with a couple of loose plaits framing her face.

Thylane simply penned the post with a surfing emoji as the post garnered appreciation.

The designer is the daughter of football player Patrick Blondeau, and rocketed to fame in 2007 at the age of six after being named the ‘most beautiful girl in the world’.

It’s an accolade that she’s achieved twice, as 11 years later Thylane once again cinched the coveted title, coming in top of TC Candler’s 2018 annual awards list.  

The awards, which began in 1990, pride themselves on being among the most ‘diverse’ beauty awards.

Taking to Instagram at the time, a delighted Thylane thanked the competition for the award, admitting that she ‘couldn’t believe it’.

She wrote: ‘I just can’t believe it myself, thanks so much @tccandler and everyone who voted.

‘I never thought I was once number one! I’m thankful to all of you I really hope you’re having great holidays and spend nice Christmas with your family ..all the best to all of you guys lots of love (sic)’.
