International model Barbara Palvin made her runway return just six weeks after giving birth, drawing attention as her husband, actor Dylan Sprouse, cheered her on from the front row.
According to reports from U.S. entertainment outlets People and E! News, Palvin participated as a model in the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show held in Los Angeles on October 18.
Sitting in the front row, Sprouse stood up to applaud and cheer when Palvin appeared on the runway, a moment captured in videos and photos that garnered online interest.
Palvin welcomed her first daughter, Sylvia, on September 7 and returned to the runway approximately six weeks later. She showcased two outfits, including a pink lace ensemble with wing decorations.
In an interview with E! News prior to her return, Palvin expressed gratitude to her husband, stating, "Dylan has been a tremendous support during my recovery after giving birth."
This is not the first time Sprouse has attracted attention for supporting his wife at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. In 2024, he appeared in the audience holding a photo of their pet to help ease her nerves and bring a smile to her face. Last year, he also cheered for Palvin from the front row when she returned to the runway after undergoing endometriosis surgery.
Originally from Hungary, Palvin first participated in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2012 and was officially named an Angel in 2019. Sprouse is an American actor known for his role in the Disney Channel series "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody." The couple has been publicly dating since 2018 and tied the knot in July 2023 in Palvin's hometown of Hungary. They announced their pregnancy in May during the Cannes Film Festival.
In addition to Palvin, the fashion show featured renowned models such as Kylie Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Alex Consani, Paloma Elsesser, and Abby Champion. Notably, Kylie Jenner made her debut on the Victoria's Secret runway wearing the "Fantasy Bra," valued at approximately $50 million.
The event also included performances by pop star Tate McRae, rapper Megan Thee Stallion, country singer Megan Moroney, and the multinational girl group KATSEYE, formed by HYBE and Geffen Records. This marks the third consecutive year that a K-pop artist has performed at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, following BLACKPINK's Lisa in 2024 and TWICE last year.
