In a world where every child possesses a unique kind of beauty, there are some whose allure is so enchanting that they effortlessly claim the spotlight as the most beautiful children in the world. Thylane, a young girl whose mere presence stole the hearts of many, serves as a prime example of such captivating charm.
Right from her earliest days, Thylane’s distinctive grey eyes and curly locks cast a spell on all who beheld her. Even in her toddler years, her arresting features caught the attention of modeling scouts eager to work with her.
While countless individuals spend years navigating the complex terrain of the modeling world, striving to secure coveted roles in fashion shows, Thylane’s path unfolded with remarkable ease, her innate beauty acting as a key to unlock doors of opportunity.
By the tender age of 10, Thylane had already claimed the title of the world’s most beautiful child. She stood out among her peers as one of the rare few to grace the illustrious pages of Vogue and adorn the covers of esteemed magazines.
Yet, amidst the acclaim and adoration, Thylane’s family found themselves under scrutiny for introducing her to the world of modeling at such a young age. Many critics argued that instead of being thrust into the spotlight of photoshoots and fashion events, Thylane should have been free to revel in the joys of childhood, spending time with friends and frolicking outdoors like any other 10-year-old.
However, unmoved by the naysayers, Thylane’s parents stood firm in their convictions, steadfastly defending their choices in raising their daughter.
As Thylane’s star continued to rise, she ventured into the realm of acting, spurred on by the interest of numerous producers eager to collaborate with her.
After a brief foray into the world of cinema, Thylane found herself drawn back to her roots in the fashion and beauty industry once more.
Now a blossomed young woman, recent photographs depict Thylane alongside her beau amidst the picturesque landscapes of the south of France. The images captured during their romantic getaway reveal a deep and abiding affection between them, a testament to the love they share.
Lisa Marie Presley kept her son Benjamin’s body at home for two months after he passed away.
Lisa Marie Presley was so devastated by the loss of her son, Benjamin Keough, that she kept his body in her home for two months after he passed away. She even invited a tattoo artist to see him so she could get matching tattoos.
This is just one of many surprising details in Lisa Marie’s new memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, which was completed by her daughter, actress Riley Keough, after Lisa Marie passed away in January 2023.

In her book, Lisa Marie shared that she had to fight to stay alive for her other children, Riley and her twin daughters Harper and Finley, who are now 16. She didn’t say goodbye to Benjamin right away because she was torn between burying him in Hawaii or at Graceland, the Memphis estate where Elvis, her father, is buried.

Lisa Marie kept the room at 55 degrees to preserve Benjamin’s body and got so used to caring for him and having him there.
Riley and Lisa Marie decided to honor Benjamin by getting tattoos like his. Benjamin had his sister’s name on his collarbone and his mom’s name on his hand. Riley had her brother’s name tattooed on her collarbone, and a tattoo artist was called to Lisa Marie’s home to add Benjamin’s name to her hand. When the artist asked if they had photos of Benjamin’s tattoos to match the font and placement, Lisa Marie said, “No, but I can show you.”

Riley writes: “Lisa Marie Presley had just asked this poor man to look at her dead son, who was right next to us in the guest house. I’ve had a very strange life, but this moment is one of the weirdest.”
Lisa Marie also knew it was strange. She said, “I think it would scare the heck out of anyone else to have their son there like that. But not me.”

Soon after the tattoo day, Riley remembers that everyone felt like Benjamin wanted to be laid to rest.
Even Lisa Marie said she could feel him communicating with her, saying, “This is crazy, Mom, what are you doing? What the heck!”
The family held a funeral for Benjamin in Malibu, and New Age author Deepak Chopra led the ceremony. Riley said she had to keep her eyes closed the whole time because she was struggling to cope with everything.

Benjamin was buried at Graceland, next to Elvis, and Lisa Marie would later be buried there too.
Riley writes a lot about her brother’s struggles with mental health and how he often went on drinking binges. She doesn’t believe he truly wanted to die.
After his death, she and her mom went through his phone, looking for answers.

Riley writes, “We found a text he sent to my mom a couple of weeks before he died that said, ‘I think something’s wrong with me mentally. I think I have a mental health issue.’ It’s heartbreaking to me that he only realized he might need help just two weeks before he took his own life.”
