Thylane Blondeau is the face that launched a thousand headlines.

At just 4 years old, photos of the young beauty went viral, and she was nicknamed "the most beautiful girl in the world."

While that sort of acclaim at such a young age might typically lead to a childhood spent in the limelight, Blondeau managed to lead an impressively low-key lifestyle in her native St. Tropez.

The model has already bagged several partnerships with major brands in makeup and fashion, suggesting she's poised to become a major player in the modeling world.

Here's an inside look at this rising superstar.

Controversy at 10 After the first iconic photo of Blondeau went viral, the young beauty was unsurprisingly on everyone's radar and her modeling career officially took off.

But in 2011, Blondeau stumbled into a controversy that prompted a question globally how young is too young in the modeling world?

The trouble began when Blondeau posed for a series of provocative shots in French Vogue.

It didn't take long for child experts, parents, and the general media to decry the shoot for its perceived sexualization of children.

At the time, however, Blondeau's mother Veronika Loubry defended the photo, telling a French newspaper at the time,

"The only thing that shocks me about the photo is the necklace that she's wearing, which is worth 3 million Euros."

Keeping it real To be clear, Blondeau didn't proclaim herself the most beautiful girl in the world that title was bestowed upon her by the media.

However, it's a title that comes with inherent pressure and scrutiny.

And for Blondeau, that means constantly deflecting barbs about her looks.

She's not one to stay silent in the face of such criticism, though.

In 2015, Blondeau posted a throwback picture of herself to prove her hair is all natural, insisting, "It's my hair since I'm a baby."

In 2015, she tried to squash the rampant speculation about her pillowy lips, declaring they have nothing to do with surgery and posting a selfie at age nine to prove it.

Then in December 2017, Blondeau responded to the criticism she regularly gets on on her height, weight, body, and style by saying,

"I just want to be me, be myself and show you what I like or don't like. I consider myself normal."

Doppelganger

Blondeau has a doppleganger, and it turns out, not only have the two models met they're actually friends.

So who is this twin? Hungarian model Barbara Palvin.

The pair collaborated on a photo shoot for L'Oreal in October 2016, prompting Blondeau to describe the gig as, quote, "working with the queen."

In the spring of the following year, the lookalike models ran into each other once again.

Blondeau posted a pic of the pair on her Instagram feed, appropriately captioning it, "My twin!!!!"

As far as doppelgangers go, Palvin's a pretty good one to have.

In 2017, she graced the iconic pages of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition.

And did we mention she has more than 8 million Instagram followers?

These two bear an uncanny physical resemblance but their careers seem to be following an identical trajectory as well.

Millennial icon Blondeau is primed to become the next millennial icon.

She was hand-picked by Dolce Gabbana for its spring 2017 campaign featuring "It" kids, and the fashion house even tagged all the campaign photos with #DGMillennials.

The young model also seems to embody all things millennial, even though she's undoubtedly on the younger end of the millennial spectrum.

When asked by W about Chanel's 2016 "Intimate Technology" runway show theme, Blondeau responded,

"Intimate technology means my daily life, as I was born in 2001. Technology is part of my routine; I can't imagine a world without technology everywhere."

From the looks of it, Blondeau keeps company with a few other well-known millennials.

In October 2015, she did a shoot with Gigi Hadid , and in February 2016, she posed on a beach with fellow model Kaia Gerber, the daughter of Cindy Crawford.

Rockin' and rollin'

On top of being stunningly beautiful and surprisingly grounded, Blondeau happens to be multi-talented.

Thanks to a few videos the multi-faceted teen has shared on Instagram, it's no big secret that Blondeau is a musician.

She shows considerable finesse on both the drum set and the piano.

In addition to rockin', Blondeau does her fair share of rollin' too as in, she's an avid skateboarder.

In 2014, she wrote, "Skateboarding is a piece of wood, a turning system, and wheels but it changes your world once you step on it."

She went on to encourage people to, quote, "go out and SHRED" whenever they need a quick pick-me-up.

Despite her now-global reach, Blondeau is essentially just like any other teenager.

When it comes to modeling, she told Teen Vogue in 2017 that she tends to keep her career separate from her personal life, saying, "My friends and I don't talk about it a lot. It's kind of my secret garden."
