A model who was once dubbed the 'most beautiful girl in the world' wasn't very happy when people began to question how natural her beauty actually was.
Thylane Blondeau told people it was 'time to stop' speculating about her appearance after she was repeatedly accused of going under the knife.
But with a face like that, it's no wonder people find it hard to believe she was born this way.
The 24-year-old is willing to get her baby pictures out to prove her point though, as Thylane said she has grown 'tired' of being dogged by claims that she has had work done.

It's pretty bizarre that the authenticity of her appearance is up for debate anyway, given that the evolution of her looks has been well documented by photographers since she was just four.
She made her catwalk debut for Jean Paul Gaultier after a scout for the renowned designer spotted her walking down the Champs-Elysées in Paris, France.
Recounting the experience in 2018, Thylane told The Telegraph: "My mum said, 'No, she’s not with an agency, she can’t do this'. Jean Paul Gaultier said, 'She has to be there tomorrow'. So mum was like, ‘Why not?'"
She went on to model for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, and Hugo Boss, before becoming a brand ambassador for L'Oréal Paris and the muse of photographer Dani Brubaker.
Thylane's visual appeal earned her the title of 'the most beautiful girl in the world' in 2006, while she was gracing the pages of Vogue before she turned ten.
Needless to say, she's been turning heads for longer than she can remember - and although she's grown up in the spotlight, for some reason, a few people continue to doubt that her appearance is au naturel.
Thylane - who is the daughter of former footballer Patrick Blondeau and TV star Véronika Loubry - took to social media earlier this year to put a stop to the chatter surrounding her alleged cosmetic procedures.
In a post shared to her Instagram story several weeks ago, the model shared a screenshot of a comment that had been left under one of her selfies which asked what she had 'done with her lips'.
"Tired of these kinds of comments," Thylane wrote. "I know that in this generation people tend to do things very early, but I've never touched anything."
She urged people to look through her modelling portfolio if they don't believe her, as she went on: "You can look at photos of me when I was younger, nothing has changed.
"People love to compare and make things up. But just because I wear makeup or use a lip liner doesn't mean I've had my lips or face done. At some point we need to stop with that.
"And honestly, since I was ten years old people have been saying I've had something done to my face, it's time to stop with that."
Despite becoming fed up of the constant comments about her appearance, Thylane does enjoy staying in touch with fans via social media.
The brunette beauty often shares snippets of her glamorous life online, as well as some of the less glitzy parts too - such as her health battle in 2020.
Thylane revealed that she had been forced to undergo surgery to have a large ovarian cyst removed.
"Today I’m finally feeling better. I’m finally feeling free. I really thought I was crazy for complaining about my stomach for so long," she told her 6.8 million followers. "Happy that I’ve never gave up."
Thylane is still a hot commodity on the fashion circuit now she's all grown up and was seen turning heads at the Miu Miu show during Paris fashion week on Monday (6 October).
She previously said that the industry was 'very important' to her and described clothing as a 'subject that concerns her every day'.
The stunner told L'Officiel Ibiza last year: "I started working as a model at the age of 3. I really looked into the subject when I was 6, and I've been fascinated ever since.
"As a model, we work with new pieces regularly and our role is to highlight them. My style is my own, quite young, relaxed, comfortable and street style.
"My inspirations often come from my travels and local cultures. Each city I visit is a source in the creation of my looks."
Her advice to aspiring fashionistas is to always have some 'black jeans, blue jeans, tank tops' on standby, as Thylane added: "I always like to have good basics in my wardrobe."
