A French girl once dubbed the "most beautiful girl in the world" is still getting recognized for her good looks. Thylane Blondeau was voted "most beautiful face" in the world for 2018.
Thylane Blondeau first gained fame at age 6, when she earned the title "most beautiful girl in the world." Blondeau, who began modeling at 4, is the daughter of French soccer player Patrick Blondeau and French fashion designer Veronika Loubry.
Thylane was No. 2 on the 2017 list. Filipino-American actress Liza Soberano, who won the honor in 2017, finished fourth in 2018.
TC Candler released the top 100 "most beautiful" and "most handsome" faces through a YouTube channel. They gained more than 2 million views in two days.
American actor Jason Momoa, 39, was named "most handsome face" for 2018. Momoa, who is married to Lisa Bonet, is known for recently playing Aquaman.

According to the website independentcritics.com, TC Candler is a "professional film critic" and creator of the 100 most beautiful faces list, which began as a college project by independent critics in 1990. Now the annual lists garner more than a quarter of a billion views.
The critics select only the top 100 faces out of a possible 85,000 celebrities, artists, models, athletes and other well-known people.
The site insists the annual list isn't a popularity contest, nor is it specific to any countries as nearly 40 countries are represented on the list. The lists doesn't include "sexiest body" or who's the most famous.
The beautiful faces list grew so popular that the critics implemented the "most handsome faces" four years ago, and it has taken off and become as popular as the beautiful faces.
As for the men of 2018, No. 2 Jungkook is a South Korean singer and dancer, and No. 3 Idris Elba is a British actor who played Nelson Mandela in the film "Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom." Elba has most recently been rumored to be the favorite to become the next James Bond, a role he has downplayed.
Here are Instagram posts of Blondeau first when she was named the "most beautiful girl" in the world, and 11 years later with the world's "most beautiful face."
