Victoria's Secret Fashion Show features Barbara Palvin and Natalia Bryant

The 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles featured several high-profile moments, most notably the return of Hungarian supermodel Barbara Palvin. Palvin walked the runway just six weeks after giving birth to her daughter, Sylvie, with husband Dylan Sprouse. Her appearance sparked significant public discussion; while many fans celebrated her return, some social media users questioned if the timing set an unrealistic standard for postpartum recovery. Palvin addressed the timing by noting that maternity leave in the U.S. typically lasts six to eight weeks.

Additionally, the show marked the runway debut of Natalia Bryant, the 23-year-old daughter of the late Kobe Bryant. Walking for the brand's Pink sub-label, Bryant expressed her excitement about participating in a show she had watched since childhood. The event included a mix of industry veterans and new faces, with performances by Megan Thee Stallion and other musical guests.
