Barbara Palvin returns to Victoria's Secret runway 6 weeks after birth
Model Barbara Palvin returns to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Monday, just weeks after giving birth.
Barbara Palvin, 32, gave birth to daughter Sylvie with actor Dylan Sprouse in early September. Palvin announced she will walk in Monday's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, six weeks after giving birth.
The model announced the comeback on Instagram with the brand. Palvin said "I'm back" in a video while pushing a pram.
The announcement sparked debate. Some praised the message that postpartum bodies are beautiful.
Others said six weeks is not realistic recovery time. Model Ashley Graham congratulated her.
Model Heidi Klum and others have returned to runways after motherhood. Palvin walked the show last year while recovering from a broken foot.
She had broken it four weeks before the event.
