This marked the star's first appearance on the runway since the birth of her daughter, Sylvie, whose arrival the couple announced on September 28. The fashion show became a notable event of the season: the new mother's return to the brand's ranks of «angels» was discussed by multiple publications, including People, which this material draws upon citing Wave RBC.UA. ### Two Looks in One Evening During the show, Palvin showcased two fundamentally different looks. In one of her appearances, she wore a snow-white corset bodysuit heavily decorated with crystals and sequins, complemented by a sparkling translucent train, huge openwork wings resembling ice patterns, and matching ultra-short shorts. In her second look, the model chose a more delicate option — a semi-transparent pink-and-white dress with ruffles and a handwritten-text-imitating print, revealing a pink lingerie set underneath; the look was completed with large earrings, soft voluminous waves in her hair, and pink-toned makeup. ### Six Weeks Postpartum Ahead of the show, Palvin shared that it had been six weeks since she gave birth at the time of her runway appearance. She admitted that she feels great and considers the opportunity to participate in the show again an important way to support women. «I think in the US most people have to go back to work after six weeks. So it's not that big of a deal. I am inspired that the Victoria's Secret team invited me to the show and that we are supporting women», the model shared. At the same time, she described motherhood as «a true emotional roller coaster» and thanked the organizers for the invitation. ### Husband's Support and Injury Anxiety As is traditional at Victoria's Secret shows, the model was supported by her husband, actor Dylan Sprouse. He watched her walk from the front row, filmed the runway performance on his phone, cheered her on, and stood up several times to greet his wife. Sprouse had a separate detail to worry about: a month before the event, Barbara injured her leg, and the actor was anxious about how she would walk in heels. In the end, the past injury did not prevent the model from delivering a stellar performance on the runway. ### How the Model Recovered In a comment to Entertainment Tonight, Palvin explained that pregnancy and breastfeeding made her reconsider her dietary habits, and this is what helped her quickly get back in shape. «I care about my baby's health above all else. Before pregnancy, I ate a lot of junk food, and now I choose organic products, buy them at farmers' markets, and cook at home every day. I had a lot of free time, and that helped me recover more easily and quickly», she said. ### Personal Life Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse married in 2023 after being in a long-term relationship. The couple announced the birth of their first child, daughter Sylvie, on September 28. Sprouse previously stated that he had long wanted to become a father and is happily adjusting to his new role. According to Palvin, her husband is great at fatherhood and, as she feels, «was made specifically to raise a little girl». ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Через шесть недель после родов: как Барбара Палвин эффектно вернулась на подиум Victoria's Secret](https://wave.rbc.ua/ukr/style/cherez-shist-tizhniv-pislya-pologiv-k-barbara-1792416080.html) - Primary source: October 18 date, California, two looks, 6 weeks postpartum, husband Dylan Sprouse in the front row, leg injury, comments on diet and women's support. - [Барбара Палвин вышла на подиум Victoria’s Secret спустя шесть недель после родов](https://hellomagrussia.ru/moda/novosti-mody/68753-barbara-palvin-vyshla-na-podium-victorias-secret-spustya-shesty-nedely-posle-rodov.html) - Confirms the Los Angeles location and the new mother's return to the runway. - [Барбара Палвин вернулась на шоу Victoria’s Secret через шесть недель после родов](https://life.ru/p/barbara-palvin-vernulas-na-shou-victoria-s-secret-cherez-shest-nedel-posle-rodov) - Confirms the October 18 date, Los Angeles, two outfits, Sprouse's front-row support, and the model's emotional comments. - [Барбара Палвин через 6 недель после родов на подиуме Victoria’s Secret](https://ru.haberler.com/russian-news-2317188/) - Confirms the runway return approximately six weeks after the birth of her first child. ## FAQ ### When and where did Barbara Palvin return to the Victoria's Secret runway?
