Thylane Blondeau needed no clothes to knock the camera dead in photos that were fully nude – yet somehow dubbed "half-naked" by a fan. The "World's Most Beautiful Girl" who has been carrying around her famous moniker since the age of 4 has appeared in photos that came heavy on the accessories, but minimal on the clothing. Thylane, 19, tends to shift between low-key sweatpants looks – or fully pantless while she's rapping to Drake – and glitzy shoots. These snaps channeled the latter.

Scroll for the photos. The above one was taken as Thylane remained locked down from her Paris apartment – the 2019 Cosmopolitan Model of the Year lives in the French capital, although she was born in Southern France's picturesque Aix-en-Provence. Seen in double slide form and in her birthday suit as she modeled a nude lip, heavy gold and peacock-style earrings, plus a colorful scrunchie, Thylane posed seated and hugging her knees. Her small shoulder tattoo was also visible as she shot the camera a piercing, blue-eyed gaze.

Thylane, who was first spotted as a child by French designer Jean Paul Gaultier, tends not to share too much on her Instagram – the account is followed by 3.6 million fans she affectionately calls "Thylaners." The Cacharel fragrance face does, however, share an ongoing love affair with coffee chain Starbucks, having posted from unknown airport outlets, plus more recent coffee trips as lock-downs in Paris ease. As to what Thylane has to say about herself, this is a girl who straight-up refuses to acknowledge her "Most Beautiful" status.

Thylane has been probed over her status. The star who calls supermodel sister duo Bella and Gigi Hadid her "style icons" was asked whom she thinks the world's most beautiful girl is when profiled by L'Officiel. "Firstly: I do not consider myself the most beautiful girl in the world! When I was little, people always told me," she said, adding: "But I did not even understand what they meant. Because who says that? Who says I am the most beautiful?" Check out her celebrity following below.

Thylane remains relatively unknown in the U.S. – a different story over in the model's native France where her celebrity status is a solid one. Thylane has, however, accumulated a small American celebrity following. Her Instagram is kept tabs on by "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Rinner, 22-year-old "Shake It Up" actress Bella Thorne, plus "Call Her Daddy" podcast host Alexandra Cooper. Thylane herself follows model Sofia Richie, singer Madison Beer, plus "Yummy" superstar music face Justin Bieber.
