Barbara Palvin is set to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025, despite breaking her foot. The 32-year-old model confirmed to Us Weekly that she plans to wear heels on the runway.
“I’m very nervous,” Palvin admitted ahead of the show, scheduled for Wednesday, October 15. She also joked, “I have my wings, so if anything, I’ll just fly away.”
Palvin expressed confidence in controlling her facial expressions to hide any pain. However, she noted a concern about a vein popping out on her forehead.
This year, Palvin’s wings will weigh one pound. This is a significant change from the 40-pound accessory she wore during the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Before hitting the runway, Palvin shared her preferred pre-show meal. She aims for a balanced plate of protein, carbohydrates, and a bit of fat. She also typically includes an item from a juice bar.
Palvin credits her great-grandmother for her secret beauty trick: drinking milk. Despite being lactose intolerant, she drinks a glass because her great-grandmother insisted it would make her beautiful.
A highlight of the show for fans is the interaction between Palvin and her husband, Dylan Sprouse. Sprouse, 33, has a history of unique support for his wife’s runway appearances.
In 2024, he famously brought cutouts of their pets. In 2018, he brought Shake Shack take-out for her to eat after the show.
Palvin is currently unaware of Sprouse’s plans for this year. She noted that he always does something.
“He was laughing for two days last year, and I was like, what’s going on?” Palvin recalled. “He’s like, ‘Nothing.’ This year, I haven’t heard any of those giggles, so we don’t know.”
Sprouse had a more relaxed morning today, according to Palvin. He was still asleep when she left for hair and makeup.
“He’s asleep!” Palvin quipped when asked if he sent a good luck message. “Our call time was 8 a.m. I was leaving. I said, ‘Bye, love!’ Nothing.”
Palvin and Sprouse married in 2023. They celebrated their second wedding anniversary in July with a camping trip.
The couple went to Redwood National Park. They also enjoyed deep-sea fishing.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show can be viewed live on Wednesday, October 15, at 7 p.m. ET. It will be available across multiple platforms. These include YouTube, Prime Video, Amazon Live, Instagram, and TikTok.
