Who is Thylane Blondeau? Meet former Premier League player Patrick Blondeau's daughter who has represented brands like Diesel and Dolce and Gabbana
Thylane Blondeau, daughter of former Premier League right-back Patrick Blondeau, caught everyone’s eye at Milan Fashion Week.
The 21-year-old French model was on the catwalk during Diesel’s exhibition at Fashion Week in Milan on Wednesday (22 February). She wore a stunning white crop top and a partial see-through jean skirt while showcasing the brand’s Autumn 2023 collection.
Thylane Blondeau was once named the “world's most beautiful child.” Needless to say, the modeling agencies went gaga over her, which resulted in her getting signed up at the tender age of six.
Blondeau, who has since evolved into a rather successful model, has represented several top brands, including Dolce and Gabbana, Diesel and Jean Paul Gaultier. The model boasts a whopping 6.5 million followers on Instagram and is now possibly more famous than her father.
Thylane’s father, Patrick Blondeau, enjoyed a stunning eight-year spell at Monaco between 1989 and 1997. He was one of the key players in the Monaco side that won Ligue 1 in the 1996-97 season.
After winning his only Ligue 1 title, he signed for then-Premier League side Sheffield Wednesday. Only six Premier League appearances later, he returned to France in January 1998, joining Bordeaux for the remainder of the 1997-98 campaign.
Blondeau returned to England in 2001, joining then-Championship side Watford but once again failed to plant his best foot forward. He signed for US Creteil in 2002 before retiring three years later.
Chris Sutton backs Premier League leaders Arsenal to get their revenge against Everton
Premier League leaders Arsenal will lock horns with 18th-placed Everton in the league on Wednesday (March 1) night. The Gunners are coming off a narrow 1-0 win over Leicester City. Everton, meanwhile, lost 2-0 at home to Aston Villa in their last league outing.
Everton spectacularly beat Arsenal in their previous meeting (1-0) in February, but Sutton does not feel they would do an encore. In his BBC column, he wrote:
“I don't even see Everton getting near the goal too often on Wednesday, though. Arsenal have bounced back superbly from their defeat to Manchester City with two wins from two tough away games, against Villa and then Leicester.
“The Gunners will have a point to prove after losing at Goodison Park at the start of February - in Sean Dyche's first game in charge of Everton - and I don't see them having any problems this time.”
