Barbara Palvin Is Walking the VS Fashion Show With a ‘Broken Foot’ (Excl)

Barbara Palvin isn’t going to let a broken foot stop her from walking in the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

“I’m very nervous,” Palvin, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly when asked how she is feeling about her runway moment ahead of the Wednesday, October 15, show.

“I’m walking on a broken foot,” she revealed, before adding that despite her injury, Palvin still plans to strut in heels.

“Very stressful, but I got my wings, so if anything, I’ll just fly away,” she quipped. Palvin also joked that she’ll be able to control her facial expressions from revealing she’s in any pain, but, “I don’t know if I can control the vein popping out of my forehead.”

This year, Palvin revealed to Us that she’s wearing one-pound wings — which will hopefully help with her broken foot — a big change from her 40-pound accessory at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Ahead of hitting the runway, Palvin also told Us what her go-to meal is prior to showtime, which she said helps her feel energized and strong.

“You want to have a little bit of everything, you know,” she explained. “I’ll need protein, carbs, and a little fat, yeah. They have a juicery too, so something like that.”

She also makes sure her skin is glowing, thanks to her secret beauty tip: drinking milk.

“My great grandma always said to drink milk,” she added. “I do that — but I’m lactose intolerant — but I still drink a glass of milk because she said I’ll be beautiful. And I guess it’s working.”

Each year, one of the best moments of the fashion show is watching Palvin and her husband Dylan Sprouse’s connection IRL. At the 2024 show, he brought along cutouts of their pets while watching his better half strut the runway. In 2018, he walked the carpet with a take-out bag of Shake Shack for his wife to snack on after the show. While she knew what he was planning last year, this time around is a mystery to Palvin.

“He always does something,” she smiled. “Last year he was giggling for two days, and I was like, what’s going on? [He’s] like, ‘Nothing.’” This year I haven’t heard any of those [giggles], so we don’t know.”

Palvin told Us that Sprouse, 33, is on a bit more of a relaxed schedule today and was half-asleep when she left to get her hair and makeup done.

“He’s asleep!” Palvin quipped when asked if he sent her a “good luck” message. “Our call time was 8 a.m. I was leaving. I was like, ‘Goodbye, babe!’ Nothing [in response].”

Palvin and Sprouse tied the knot in 2023. For their two-year wedding anniversary in July, she told Us they celebrated by taking a camping trip to Redwood National Park.

“It was so beautiful. It was really just so beautiful,” she gushed to Us. “And we went fishing on a boat, like deep sea fishing.”

Fans can watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show at 7 p.m. ET on YouTube, Prime Video, Amazon Live, Instagram or TikTok.
