Barbara Palvin showed off her incredible transformation last night at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, only six weeks after giving birth to her first child with her husband Dylan Sprouse.
Right before the show kicked off, she revealed her post-partum journey from hospital bed to the runway with Page Six, sharing: "I tell everyone: This is normal. Maternity leave is six to eight weeks; I'm six weeks tomorrow, so I'm just doing what everyone [else] is doing. And I only need to walk down a runway!"

She joked: "I'm happy. I'm excited. I hope I don't fall." The star provided insight into her wellness routine and her jaw-dropping recovery, explaining: "Funny enough, my body bounced back — luckily — really quickly. And I think it's because I've never been healthier."
She recalled: "During pregnancy, I really wanted to make sure [my] baby girl was healthy, so I only did organic foods. And now postpartum, because I'm breastfeeding, I wanted to make sure I was eating good. So that's how I prepped: I just let my body heal on its own and did some light exercises, but nothing crazy."

The star also feels more confident than ever too, as she shared a moving message to fellow mothers, who are returning to the workplace postpartum as well.
She advised: "Don't be scared to ask for help. Because I'm like that; I want to do everything myself. But I wouldn't be here if my friends and family hadn't supported me. They would drop off food at the door, [and] my mom and dad flew out for the first few weeks."

Barbara admitted: "The hormones are crazy! I know this is a crazy journey. But we're freaking mothers; let's [expletive] go!"
The star concluded: "We got this, because we're capable of everything. We're strong."

During her comeback show, her husband was her right-hand man, cheering her on every step of the way from the front row, as she slayed her runway walks.
In fact, he has become synonymous with the annual fashion show, and this isn't the first time he's been supportive of his wife.
In 2024, he brought along adorable cardboard cutouts of the pair's pets, and in 2018, he lovingly had Shake Shack ready for Barbara to indulge in post-show.

Barbara didn't only feel the love coming from her husband, as fans flocked to her social media to cheer her on too.
One person wrote: "The woman that you are. You look absolutely spectacular in the show!!!"
A second fan added: "Mother is mothering (literally)!" A third follower continued: "Wow! She gave birth like yesterday and is already on the show!"
