Thylane Blondeau has given fans a closer look at how her bespoke Miu Miu wedding gown came together, weeks after marrying DJ Ben Attal.
The model, once described by Vogue Enfants as the most beautiful girl in the world, exchanged vows in a lace fishtail dress at the $64 million Chateau Diter in the South of France.
Posting behind-the-scenes images to Instagram on Monday, Thylane shared the intricate work that went into the gown and said wearing the label had long been a personal dream.
According to Thylane, the custom creation took 240 hours to complete and was made using 30 meters of French lace.
Miu Miu, founded by Miuccia Prada, is the Prada Group-owned sister label to Prada and is known for its more playful, spontaneous spirit.

Sharing the finer details in behind-the-scenes snaps on Instagram on Monday, Thylane said it was a life-long ‘dream’ to wear the brand
‘Made with over 30 metres of French lace and requiring 240 hours of craftsmanship, every single detail was created with incredible care and artistry.
‘Thank you to every single person who made this dream come true. I am beyond grateful.
‘I started working with Miu Miu when I was 16 years old, and I never could have imagined that, years later, they would create the dress I’d wear on one of the most important days of my life.
‘This is a memory I’ll cherish forever. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.’
The venue, which is owned by British millionaire Patrick Diter, is a Tuscan-style estate on a 17-acre plot in Grasse, and includes 18 suites, two helipads, saltwater pools, manicured Italian gardens, a medieval cloister, and a wine-tasting cellar.
Hiring the venue for a wedding starts at £17,000, though with the addition of decorations and added amenities, the total cost is expected to be much higher.
In June, she revealed that she and Ben had celebrated their legal wedding in a custom couture gown by Eva Bouskila.
Pictures from their big day show the couple beaming as they walk hand in hand at the ceremony, which took place in a city hall ceremony in Paris’s 16th arrondissement.
The couple, who began dating back in 2020, married just three months after announcing their engagement.

She was carrying a bouquet of white calla lilies, while holding out her other hand to her new husband Ben as they entered the venue.
Thylane confirmed her engagement to Ben after he proposed during a romantic trip to Greece.
Thylane began dating Ben in 2020, little more than a year after ending her former relationship with French DJ, Milane Meritte.
The model daughter of retired footballer Patrick Blondeau, she walked for Jean Paul Gaultier at the age of four and then later, aged ten, became the youngest ever model to pose for Vogue Paris.
She would rocket to fame in 2006, at the age of five, after being named the ‘most beautiful girl in the world’ by Vogue Enfants.
It is an accolade that she won on two separate occasions, as 12 years later Thylane once again cinched the coveted title, coming in top of TC Candler’s 2018 annual awards list.
