Qui est Tidiane, le fils d’Omar Sy qui s’engage dans une prestigieuse carrière de mannequin ?
Two years after his first fashion shows, the son of the French comedian confirms his promising modeling career by signing with an international agency in New York.
Standing at 1.86 meters tall, Tidiane Sy is hard to miss. In 2024, the young man was already making a name for himself during Men's Fashion Week, attending the Louis Vuitton shows with his parents, Omar and Hélène Sy, and his sister, Sabah Sy. But it was especially on the 3. Paradis runway that he was turning heads around the same time. This first step into modeling has now been solidified by his signing with the prestigious international agency, Next Management. His portfolio is now available in the New Face section of both the American and French branches of the agency.
Tidiane, 20, one of five children, is the son of César-winning actor Omar Sy. After achieving success in France, the actor chose to settle in Los Angeles with his family, primarily to allow his children to grow up away from the fame associated with his name. Omar Sy had told several media outlets that he once heard someone say, "That's Omar Sy's son," outside his child's school. This remark prompted him to reflect on the importance of providing his children with their own space.
Before the catwalks, basketball
Before turning to fashion, Tidiane envisioned a career as a professional basketball player. A graduate of Calabasas High School in California, he first made a name for himself on the American courts as one of the top prospects on his high school basketball team. He also expresses his passion for sports through his personal style. During his debut in Paris, he walked the runway for the brand 3. Paradis in a bomber jacket emblazoned with NBA colors for the presentation of their Spring/Summer 2025 collection.
The world of fashion
Tidiane Sy didn't wait for his first runway show to publicly demonstrate his interest in fashion. On social media, he was already sharing photos of artists who inspired him or pieces that fascinated him. In 2018, he notably appeared alongside Virgil Abloh, founder of the Off-White brand and former artistic director of Louis Vuitton's menswear collections.
After 3.paradis, Isabel Marant is betting on him in 2025. The brand has chosen him to represent its Spring/Summer 2026 Men's campaign. The announcement of his signing with NEXT Management in New York marks a significant milestone in this still-developing career. And with good reason: the renowned agency has launched the careers of international models such as Karlie Kloss, Miranda Kerr, and Anok Yai, and could very well give him access to the most prestigious campaigns.
The young man still seems to have time to choose the direction he wants to take his career. One thing is certain: even though Tidiane Sy has a name known to the general public, he will still have to prove himself in such a coveted and demanding field.
