Barbara Palvin will step onto the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway in Los Angeles just six weeks after welcoming her first baby with husband Dylan Sprouse. The model credited organic foods during pregnancy, eating well while breastfeeding, and light exercise while her body healed. She also pointed out that maternity leave typically runs six to eight weeks, so her return is less of a miracle and more of a job she loves.
This marks Palvin’s sixth Victoria’s Secret show after her 2012 debut at 19, where she was so starstruck by Rihanna that she barely kept it together. Now she’s doling out postpartum advice, telling other mothers not to be afraid to ask for help. She thanked family and friends who dropped off food and supported her in those early weeks.
Dylan will be in the front row cheering her on, though she’s hoping he isn’t planning a stunt while watching their daughter. The show streams free at 7:30 p.m. ET on YouTube and the brand’s social channels. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received about asking for help? Let us know in the comments.
