Barbara Palvin appeared in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday, Oct. 15. while recovering from an injury.
The 32-year-old Hungarian model walked the runway in several different ensembles during the night. And although not noticeable to audiences at home, Palvin was walking on a broken foot.
Her husband, Dylan Sprouse, brought up the injury while chatting with host Zanna Roberts Rassi before the show. Wishing his wife good luck into the camera, he said: “I love you, baby. Break a leg tonight.” The Disney Channel alum then added, “She actually did break her foot four weeks ago, so she will be walking on a half-healed foot tonight. So, I wish you luck. I love you. I know you are going to kill it.”
This was Palvin’s fifth time doing the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, though she didn’t officially become a Victoria’s Secret Angel until 2019.
In a backstage interview with Us Weekly before the show, Palvin also talked about her injury, telling the outlet she was “very nervous” and the idea of walking in heels was “stressful.”
To help manage her injury, Palvin appeared to have adjusted her outfits. While last year’s trademark wings weighed 40 pounds, her wings this year were just one pound, likely helping her with balance. She also attached the wings to the front of her dress, as opposed to the back.
Other models who walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show include Ashley Graham, Gigi Hadid, Stella Maxwell, Doutzen Kroes, and newcomers Emily Ratajkowski and Angel Reese.
