Barbara Palvin stuns on Victoria’s Secret runway six weeks after giving birth

Barbara Palvin made a striking return to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway just six weeks after welcoming her first child with husband Dylan Sprouse, drawing praise from fans and a proud show of support from the actor. 

The Hungarian model returned to the lingerie brand’s highly anticipated fashion show on October 18, marking her first runway appearance since giving birth to their baby girl, Sylvie, in September. 

For her first look, Barbara wore a flowy sheer pink mini dress over a pale pink underwear set, completing the ensemble with silver hoop earrings. 

She later returned to the runway in a white silver-studded corset paired with matching underwear and a flowing sheer train. A pair of snowflake-like wings completed her angelic look as she walked before the cheering crowd. 

Among those watching from the front row was Dylan, who stood up to cheer for his wife. 

The actor’s reaction quickly caught the attention of fans online, with many celebrating both Barbara’s return to modeling after childbirth and Dylan’s continued support for her career. 

“Some women don’t just walk the runway, they turn it into art. Barbara, you have a beauty that catches the eye, but an aura that captures the soul. 🤍✨,” one netizen wrote. 

“One month into motherhood and already delivering more than the baby. The rest of us just got mothered. Mrs. Spouse, please breathe! 😭🔥,” another commented. 

“You’re AMAZING😍🔥Happy wife happy life✨Dylan is always there and always supportive, I love you both🫶🏻,” one fan wrote on Instagram.  

“Mama angel back on the runway, and her biggest supporter watching proudly 🥹🤍,” another added. 

Barbara also shared a playful moment with fellow mom and Victoria’s Secret Angel Gigi Hadid.  

In an Instagram reel, the two models celebrated their runway while balancing their lives as moms. 

“The hottest mom in the world,” Gigi said as she pointed the camera toward Barbara. 

Barbara responded by pointing at both of them and declaring, “Hottest moms.” 

Gigi enthusiastically echoed the sentiment, shouting, “We’re moms now! Go, moms!” 

Before the show, Barbara expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to return to the Victoria’s Secret runway for her fifth appearance, acknowledging the people who helped her during the transition to motherhood. 

“I’m very grateful to be back. I wouldn’t be here without my parents and family and friends. They’ve been, like, huge help,” she told USA TODAY.  

“But in the U.S., maternity leave is six to eight weeks. I’m six weeks tomorrow, so nothing major here. I’m just doing what every woman does in America,” she added. 

Meanwhile, Dylan shared his admiration for his wife in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying he continues to be impressed by her.  

“Barbara feels ready and she’s done her darndest. I think this is gonna be the one where she has a moment and I’m excited. She really deserves it.”  

Barbara and Dylan tied the knot in July 2023 in Hungary.
