French model Thylane Blondeau wore a custom Miu Miu lace gown for her second wedding celebration with actor and DJ Ben Attal at Château Diter in Grasse on July 30, sharing intimate new details about the dress design in a statement published by Vogue France this week.
To recall, the 25-year-old fashion icon legally tied the knot with Attal, 29, during an intimate civil ceremony in the 16th arrondissement of Paris on June 29. The couple then hosted their larger, Renaissance-inspired reception a month later at the 17-acre estate in the hills of southern France, bringing family and close friends together near the coast. Blondeau, who was famously dubbed the most beautiful girl in the world by Vogue Enfants in 2006 when she was just six years old, explained that returning to her birthplace in the south of France was an obvious decision for their main nuptials.
Custom Lace Fitting Memories Shared By Former Child Model
The Thylane Blondeau wedding dress featured a fitted lace silhouette with a fishtail hemline flaring gracefully below the knee, complemented by a delicate, lace-trimmed veil. Describing the creation as refined and timeless, Blondeau revealed to Vogue France that she had always dreamed of wearing a lace gown down the aisle. She credited the Miu Miu design team with doing exceptional work on the project, a label she has represented continuously since she turned 16.
Recounting her initial dress fitting in Milan, the model admitted the emotional atmosphere left everyone involved in tears. Her best friend accompanied her to the Italian fashion house while her mother watched the entire appointment over FaceTime, both crying as she stepped out in the final design. Blondeau shared that those moments created memories she will never forget, expressing her deep gratitude to the artisans who brought her vision to life.
Writing on her personal Instagram page alongside official photography from the estate, the bride called the creation the wedding dress of her dreams. She noted that the overall vision for the day was simple, soft, modern, and timeless, adding that every single element was selected with clear intention because every detail matters (and honestly, who can blame her for being meticulous when marrying into French cultural royalty?).
Rapid Planning Timeline Leads To Historic Chateau Reception
Following the main ceremony, the bride swapped her structured lace gown for a sleeker ivory silk dress paired with a dramatic cape for the evening reception, keeping the romantic aesthetic intact while allowing for more movement. The couple originally selected Château Diter, a sprawling property complete with Italian gardens, olive groves, and a medieval cloister, after visiting several locations with wedding planner Evelyne Layani. The party eventually migrated to the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic in Cannes to continue celebrations into the early hours.
The elaborate southern France event came together on a remarkably tight schedule. Attal, the son of Charlotte Gainsbourg and Yvan Attal, as well as the grandson of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, proposed to Blondeau during a holiday trip to Greece in March. The couple managed to organise both their Paris civil service and the lavish Grasse reception in just four months.
Neither representatives for Miu Miu nor head designer Miuccia Prada have issued a separate statement regarding the garment beyond the official credits confirmed by Blondeau and her media interviews. Celebeat cannot independently verify whether the Italian fashion house plans to release further design sketches or behind-the-scenes footage from the Milan fittings, so everything should be taken with a grain of salt until official press releases are distributed.
