She reclines among leopard print pillows, her rouged lips pouting at the camera. But shockingly the model in these highly sexualized pictures is only 10 years old.

The provocative images of Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau, who has been named the next big thing on the fashion scene, are causing a storm of controversy with activists, furious that a child so young should be displaying the sexual allure of someone twice her age.

The controversial photo spread appeared in a recent issue of Vogue Paris.

One blogger said of the images: "She is a beautiful little girl, as are all ten year old girls. While I am sure she will make a terrific model someday, I find these pictures beyond disturbing - she is styled way too maturely. "

In the review a survey revealed that 88 per cent of parents agreed that children are under pressure to grow up too quickly, with 58 per cent accounting this to celebrity culture, the Daily Mail reported.

Born in the Ivory Coast, she has already been compared to Sixties siren Brigitte Bardot - who at the age of 15 appeared in ELLE.

Like many child stars, Thylane has strong connections with the entertainment industry. She is the daughter of actress and television presenter Véronika Loubry and former French international football player Patrick Blondeau.(点击英国《每日邮报》查看原文)

Vogue封面性感女郎仅10岁

       她斜靠在豹纹枕上,嫣红的双唇微微上翘,面向镜头。令人惊讶的是,照片中这位女人味十足的模特竟然只有10岁。

       该模特名叫蒂拉娜•莉娜-罗斯•布朗多,被认为是未来时尚之星。她的照片引起激烈的社会争论,有人愤怒地表示,怎能让如此年轻的女孩去表现是她年龄两倍的人的那种性感和诱惑。

       这些引起争议的照片出现在近期的法国版Vogue杂志上。

       一名博客人评论这些照片时说:“她很漂亮,像所有的10岁女孩一样。我不否认她有一天会成为很棒的模特。但是这些照片令人非常不安,因为她被打扮的太过成熟。”

       据《每日邮报》报道,一项调查显示,88%的家长认为,现在的孩子在压力下成长的太快,其中58%的人认为是名人文化造成的。

       她出生于非洲的科特迪瓦,已经被人与六十年代的法国女星碧姬•芭铎相提并论,后者15岁时就登上ELLE杂志。

       与众多童星一样,蒂拉娜有着强大的娱乐圈背景。她是演员兼电视主持维罗妮卡•卢布里和前法国国际球星帕特里克•布朗多的女儿。
