Thylane Blondeau married DJ Ben Attal in a custom Miu Miu lace fishtail gown at the $64 million Chateau Diter in the South of France on Thursday, marking the couple's second wedding ceremony in as many weeks.
Blondeau, 25, shared photographs from the celebration on Instagram, giving followers a close look at the gown and its delicate bridal veil. "The wedding dress of my dreams. Custom by @miumiu. Where forever begins," she wrote in the caption.
The venue
The reception was held at Chateau Diter in Grasse, a Tuscan-style estate owned by British millionaire Patrick Diter. The property sits on a 17-acre plot and features 18 suites, two helipads, saltwater pools, manicured Italian gardens, a medieval cloister, and a wine-tasting cellar. Weddings at the venue start at £17,000 before decorations and additional amenities are factored in.
A chuppah decorated with cascading white and green hydrangea flowers anchored the ceremony space. Blondeau's makeup was applied by Andreea Ali using Dior Beauty products.
"Our vision was simple, soft, modern, and timeless," Blondeau wrote. "@evelynelayaniorganisation Wedding Planner brought it to life beyond anything we could have imagined. Mr Prada & Mrs Miu Miu. Forever."
Photos shared to social media showed Blondeau changing out of the lace gown and into a silk caped dress as the night's celebrations continued.
The first ceremony
The Chateau Diter event came after the couple's legal wedding, held last month at a city hall in Paris's 16th arrondissement. For that ceremony, Blondeau wore a custom couture gown by Eva Bouskila and carried a bouquet of white calla lilies.
Blondeau and Attal, 29, had announced their engagement just three months before the Paris ceremony. Attal proposed during a trip to Greece, and the couple marked the occasion with a stay at the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel. Blondeau announced the news on social media, sharing photographs of the coastal setting where Attal asked for her hand.
The pair began dating in 2020.
A career that started at four
Blondeau is the daughter of retired footballer Patrick Blondeau. She walked for Jean Paul Gaultier at the age of four after the designer personally insisted she appear the following day. At ten, she became the youngest model ever to pose for Vogue Paris, appearing in a 2010 spread that drew widespread criticism for being too sexualized. Her mother, fashion designer Veronika Loubry, later defended the coverage to a French newspaper, saying: "The only thing that shocks me about the photo is the necklace that she's wearing, which is worth 3 million Euros."
Blondeau was named the most beautiful girl in the world by Vogue Enfants in 2006, at age six. She claimed the title again in 2018, topping TC Candler's annual awards list. In a 2018 interview with The Telegraph, she sought to move past the label: "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.'"
She made her adult runway debut for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week in February 2017, returning for the label again in September of that year. She has also served as a brand ambassador for L'Oreal and as the face of a perfume by French designer Lolita Lempicka.
A tribute alongside the celebration
Alongside her wedding posts, Blondeau used the same day to publicly mourn her stepfather, Gerard Kadoche, a producer who had been engaged to her mother Veronika Loubry. Kadoche died in December following a long battle with pancreatic cancer, and the couple had been together for nearly ten years.
"My Gege. If you only knew how much we already miss you," Blondeau wrote. "You hold such an important place in my heart, in my life. I'm so grateful for everything you taught me, for everything you did for my mom, my little brother, and me. Life without you will never be the same."
She added that she planned to honour his memory through her work: "I also know how proud you were of my new brand. I promise you I'm going to give it my all, even more than before, to make you even prouder."
