On October 15, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025 lit up Fifth Avenue in the heart of Manhattan, New York.

Considered perhaps the most important runway event in the lingerie sector—and undoubtedly one of the most high-profile in the fashion industry—its reputation rests on both the spectacle of the show and its live performances.

This year’s edition was staged under the creative direction of Adam Selman.

After a six-year hiatus, the iconic runway show made its comeback in 2024 with a refreshed image and, above all, greater diversity on stage.

That spirit continued this year. Still, the show also welcomed back some of the brand’s longtime angels, including sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid and, more veteran still, the legendary supermodel Adriana Lima.

Among them was Barbara Palvin—now Barbara Sprouse, following her 2023 marriage to actor Dylan Sprouse. Palvin remains one of the most beloved models in the show, and this year’s event reaffirmed her place in the spotlight.

The Hungarian model first walked the Victoria’s Secret runway in 2012, returned in 2018, and was named an official angel in 2019. Although the show was then paused, she has now participated in both the 2024 and 2025 editions.

Beyond her success in fashion, Palvin also ventured into acting, making her debut in 2014 as part of the cast of Hercules alongside Dwayne Johnson.
