At the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Dylan Sprouse showcased his unparalleled support for wife Barbara Palvin, rating her outfits as “10 is too low” and raising awareness for endometriosis, all while Palvin bravely walked the runway with a broken foot.
The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Brooklyn, New York, became a powerful platform for love and advocacy, largely thanks to actor Dylan Sprouse’s unwavering support for his wife, supermodel Barbara Palvin. Beyond the stunning runway looks, Sprouse used the occasion to celebrate Palvin’s resilience and shed light on a crucial medical condition, making their appearance a memorable moment for fans worldwide.
A Husband’s Rave Review: “10 Is Too Low”
Before Barbara Palvin even hit the runway on Wednesday, October 15, Dylan Sprouse was already overflowing with admiration. Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly, Sprouse, 33, was asked to rate his wife’s lingerie-inspired ensembles on a scale of one to 10.
His cheeky and emphatic response? “10 is too low. Let’s pump those numbers up, OK? You gotta think higher than that,” he revealed to Us Weekly. This high praise set the tone for a night celebrating Palvin’s stunning presence.
Palvin’s Runway Spectacle
Palvin did not disappoint, gracing the runway in two breathtaking looks:
- Bronze Allure: Her first appearance featured a bronze dress with a plunging cowl neckline that elegantly revealed a lace bra. A flowing skirt, a dramatic cape-sleeved cape tossed artfully in the air, and a bejeweled belt completed this glamorous ensemble. She perfected the look with a bombshell blowout, rosy cheeks, long, flirty eyelashes, and glossy lips.
- Silver Sparkle: For her second look, Palvin captivated the audience in a silver sparkling outfit. This included a daring slit chainmail skirt and a silver corset top adorned with wings protruding from her neckline, truly embodying the Victoria’s Secret Angel aesthetic.
Beyond the Glamour: The Broken Foot
Adding another layer to her incredible performance, Barbara Palvin revealed a hidden challenge she faced on the runway. Ahead of the show, while getting her makeup done, Palvin admitted to Us Weekly that she was “very nervous” because she was “walking on a broken foot.”
Despite the immense pain, her dedication shone through. Palvin bravely joked, “I don’t know if I can control the vein popping out of my forehead,” showing her lighthearted spirit even under duress. Her remark about having her wings, so she could “just fly away” if needed, resonated deeply with fans, highlighting her grit and humor.
Dylan Sprouse publicly acknowledged her bravery on Instagram, writing, “Very proud of my angel tonight, the hard work you’ve put in, the diligence, the fact you had a broken foot. Very proud husband. You’re the hardest worker I know. Congrats on the great show.”
A Symbol of Support: The Endometriosis Pin
Adding a profound layer of personal advocacy, Dylan Sprouse arrived on the pink carpet wearing a yellow endometriosis awareness pin on his navy blue blazer. This gesture was a direct show of support for Barbara Palvin, who recently underwent surgery for the medical condition.
Speaking to E! News, Sprouse explained his motivation, stating, “I brought this endometriosis awareness pin… because Barbara just went through endo surgery and, I am handing these out tonight just to raise some awareness for that.” He highlighted how Palvin’s candidness about her condition led to many women realizing they shared similar symptoms, underscoring the lack of awareness surrounding endometriosis.
He praised Palvin as a “tough, tough cookie” and expressed immense pride in her strength and Hungarian roots, further endearing him to fans who appreciate his supportive and compassionate nature.
A History of Heartfelt Gestures
Dylan’s support for Barbara at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is a cherished tradition among fans. His thoughtful and sentimental gestures have become a highlight of the event over the years:
- In 2018, he famously brought a take-out bag of Shake Shack for Palvin to enjoy after her runway walk, a gesture that immediately went viral.
- In 2024, he printed out adorable cutouts of their pets to hold during her runway moments, providing a heartwarming personal touch.
This year’s endometriosis pin marked a more serious, yet equally loving, form of support, showcasing the couple’s evolving bond and commitment to important causes.
Their Love Story: A Foundation of Mutual Admiration
The relationship between Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin has captivated fans since they first met in 2017 at a party. They officially began dating in 2018 and tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in 2023. To celebrate their two-year wedding anniversary, Palvin shared with Us Weekly that they took a “camping” trip to Redwood National Park, enjoying deep-sea fishing and the park’s natural beauty.
Their relationship is built on mutual respect and admiration. Palvin has previously joked that she wouldn’t take style advice from her husband, while Sprouse credits her with inspiring him to dress better, moving past his “Kmart white tees” days, as he told E! News. They prioritize their time together, striving not to be apart for more than two or three weeks, a testament to their strong bond.
