In brief

Hungarian model Barbara Palvin walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles on October 18, 2026, about six weeks after giving birth to her first child. Her husband, actor Dylan Sprouse, publicly praised her return in an Instagram Story.

Barbara Palvin returned to the Victoria's Secret runway on October 18, 2026, roughly six weeks after welcoming her first child, according to Promiflash and Yahoo Entertainment. The Hungarian model walked as part of the brand's 2026 Fashion Show, staged live in Los Angeles.

What happened

Palvin and her husband, actor Dylan Sprouse, announced the birth of their daughter, Sylvie, on Instagram on September 28, 2026. According to Yahoo Entertainment, the couple referenced the U.S. Labor Day holiday (September 7, 2026) in their caption, hinting that Sylvie was born around that date, though the exact birth date was not stated outright.

Promiflash reported the show began at 4:30 p.m. local time in Los Angeles and streamed live on YouTube and Victoria's Secret's social-media channels; Hola.com separately confirmed the 4:30 p.m. Pacific / 7:30 p.m. Eastern start time.

Dylan Sprouse's reaction

Sprouse posted an Instagram Story praising his wife's quick return to work. The wording of the message varies slightly between outlets translating or paraphrasing it: Promiflash quoted him as writing that he is "proud of my wife who participates in the VS fashion show right after giving birth," calling her "cut from different cloth" and adding, "I don't know where you get your energy from, but damn!" A separate Yahoo Entertainment report described the post as reading, "Proud of my missus, jumping right into the vs fashion show post birth. Built different. I don't know where you find the energy but damn!" Both versions convey the same core message: admiration for Palvin resuming a major professional commitment weeks after childbirth.
