Barbara Palvin Walks Victoria's Secret Runway Six Weeks After Birth

Hungarian model Barbara Palvin returned to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway on October 18, 2026, just six weeks after giving birth to her first child with husband Dylan Sprouse. The 33-year-old Victoria's Secret Angel walked twice at the event held at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, wearing a vintage unlined balconette bra and a silk mini slip.

Sprouse attended the show, cheering from the front row while noting his wife had broken her foot four weeks prior. This marked Palvin's sixth appearance at the annual event, which she first joined in 2012.
