Thylane Blondeau, who was coined the "most beautiful girl in the world" aged just six, is engaged.
The French model, 24, used Paris Fashion Week to debut her glittering £34,000 diamond ring presented to her by boyfriend, Ben Attal.
Before stepping out at Australian brand Zimmermann's show in the French capital, Thylane confirmed her engagement to her DJ beau in a glowing post on social media, revealing he popped the question just hours before at the five-star Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel in Greece.
Captioning the post, Thylane penned: "I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever."

The most beautiful girl in the world
When she was six, Thylane was famously named the "most beautiful girl in the world' by Vogue Enfants, an accolade she won on two separate occasions.
In February 2017, she made her debut as an adult in the world of modelling, walking for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week, and Thylane was welcomed back just months later in September 2017 to walk for the designing duo.

She told the publication: "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.'"
As well as walking for the world's leading designers, Thylane also became a brand ambassador for L'Oréal and was named the face of a perfume by French designer Lolita Lempicka.
