Taking to her Instagram, Thylane posted a picture of the video for her 2.6 million followers, saying she couldn’t believe she’d taken the title again.

“I just can’t believe it myself …thanks so much @tccandler and everyone who voted..I never thought i was once number one !! I’m thankful to all of you. I really hope your having great holidays and spend nice Christmas with your family ..all the best to all of you guys lots of love.”

Thylane started her career from the early age of four when she walked for high fashion label Jean Paul Gaultier.

Her photos showing off her piercing blue eyes and beachy blond hair captivated the world.

Aged 10, Thylane ignited controversy for being involved in a ‘risqué’ photoshoot for Vogue Paris which many people branded ‘disgraceful’ and ‘irresponsible’.

Since then, she’d made appearances at Fashion Week in both London and Paris.

The model sensation was also the face of the spring/summer 2018 campaign of well-known French brand Juicy Couture.

She is also the founder of her own clothing line, called Heaven May.
