Thillane Blondeau, a French woman once called “the most beautiful girl in the world,” has saddened hearts around the world with the news of her marriage.
The 25-year-old model shared a glimpse of her romantic day in Paris, including Eva Bouskila’s wedding dress, guests and new husband, French actor Ben Attal, on her Instagram Stories. The two announced their engagement in March.
In the photo, Blondeau is seen wearing a gown with a signature bun and white cape overlay adorned with flowers, and holding a bouquet of calla lilies. Attal, 29, the son of French singer and actress Charlotte Gainsbourg and grandson of the late Jane Birkin, wore a simple black tuxedo and white button-up without a tie, his curls slicked back. The couple married at City Hall and drove a Porsche 356 getaway car.
However, in the photo, the model shared a comment about the photographer who broke into City Hall during the couple’s wedding.
“Ever since I started working as a model, I have always had great respect for paparazzi. Over the years, I have never once refused a photo and have always tried to be kind and respectful to each of you,” she originally wrote in French. “On the one hand, I was very upset that some people broke into City Hall and streamed a video of our ceremony.
“There’s a difference between photographing an outdoor event and interfering with a moment that is part of our intimacy. I hope this line is respected,” she continued. “It wasn’t about me today. I was just the woman getting married.”
Blondeau became famous since childhood when she was named the “Most Beautiful Girl in the World” by French Vogue’s Vogue Enfants magazine in 2006. Since then, she has modeled for Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, and Hugo Boss, and is a brand ambassador for L’Oréal Paris.
