At the astonishing age of 10, Thylane adorned the cover of Vogue France, dressed in a gold gown with a plunging V-neck and bold makeup. When the magazine hit stands, Vogue France faced intense criticism. Many accused the publication of sexualizing a child, deeming the photoshoot inappropriate. Thylane’s parents also drew flak for endorsing the shoot and permitting their young daughter to take part. Her mother defended the decision, stating she saw no issue with the images, save for the necklace Thylane wore, valued at nearly three million euros.
