The young Hungarian model, who by the age of twenty-five took pride of place in the list of the most famous fashion beauties in the world, graced the covers of leading glossy publications and became the face of famous fashion brands. In 2019, Barbara Palvin joined the ranks of Victoria’s Secret Angels, and her income has long been calculated in figures with six zeros.

Childhood and youth

The future model was born in Budapest, in an ordinary Hungarian family. Parents, Bence and Agnes Palvin, were in the shoe business and dreamed that Barbara and her older sister Anita would continue the family business when they grew up.

Barbara grew up as a real tomboy, she loved to play football with the boys and climb trees. She studied well at school, loved to read and “swallowed” books one after another. In her free time, the girl liked to watch on TV slender long-legged models proudly pacing the catwalk in beautiful outfits. True, she herself did not even think about a fashion career and dreamed of becoming a lawyer.

Everything changed at the age of thirteen, when fate sent Barbara a meeting with a scout of a famous modeling agency. Monsieur Balageli could not pass by a charming blue-eyed blonde strolling through the park with her mother and persuaded her to take some test shots for Icon Model Management.

The result exceeded all expectations, and Barbara was immediately offered a long-term contract. At the family council, it was decided to let the girl go “free swimming”, however, under the control of her mother, who for five whole years moved away from the family business in order to be close to her youngest daughter. Balazheli also did not leave his ward and became the personal manager of Miss Palvin.

Modeling career

At the beginning of her modeling career, Barbara moved to Japan, where she posed for the Spur glossy magazine and fashion catalogs. Very quickly, representatives of leading American and European fashion publications drew attention to the young model and began to order photo shoots with the young beauty for their magazines.

After working for three years in the Land of the Rising Sun, Barbara returned to Europe and signed a contract with the international agency IMG Models. Soon her photographs graced the covers of Marie Claire, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, L’Officiel and other prestigious publications.

In 2010, the girl first appeared on the podium in Milan, where she took part in a fashion show for Prada. It turned out that Miuccia Prada had long followed her rapid career growth and personally insisted that the young Hungarian model open the winter show 2010-11.

Barbara immediately became interested in the world’s leading fashion houses and began vying to invite her to demonstrate their new collections. In the same season, Palvin appeared at the shows of Louis Vuitton, Nina Ricci, Miu Miu, and at Paris Fashion Week she walked in dresses from Vivienne Westwood and Chanel.

In 2012, Barbara posed for the Victoria’s Secret lingerie catalog and signed an advertising contract with the cosmetic brand L’Oreal Paris, and the very next year she took 23rd place in the list of the highest paid top models. Over the next three years, Palvin moved to seventeenth place in the ranking (her net worth was estimated at about six million dollars) and entered the top ten models in the world according to Tumblr.

In 2014, the young model first appeared on the screen, playing Antimachus in the historical film Hercules. On the whole, the girl was satisfied with her film debut, she only regrets that she got a very small role, almost without words. In the future, Barbara would like to continue her acting career, she even sees herself as a Bond companion or one of the characters in Marvel comics.

Barbara Palvin’s personal life

Barbara’s personal life has always been under the guns of the cameras and aroused great interest among the public. The girl was credited with novels with racing driver Lewis Hamilton, Niall Horan from the boy band One Direction and the idol of American teenagers Justin Bieber.

Palvin recklessly posted a joint photo with the latter on her Instagram page, which immediately attracted the stormy interest of the “yellow” press. The paparazzi tried to inflate a loud sensation, which provoked attacks of jealousy from Selena Gomez, Bieber’s girlfriend. But Barbara managed to fight off the attacks of journalists and prove that they were connected with Justin only by friendly relations.

Judging by the model’s Instagram, which has more than twelve million followers, she is now dating aspiring American actor Dylan Sprouse. Their joint photos began to appear regularly since March 2018, and judging by them, love and complete harmony reign in the relationship of young people. Palvin carefully monitors his weight and spends a lot of time in the gym. Barbara admits that when visiting her family in her native Hungary, she cannot resist the temptation to enjoy her favorite dishes, which are usually very high in calories. She also cannot imagine her life without cheese and coffee and occasionally allows herself a glass of white wine.

Barbara Palvin now

In March 2019, a year after the first fashion show for Victoria’s Secret, Barbara officially became one of the “angels” of this famous brand. It is worth noting that the parameters of the model do not quite fit into generally accepted standards, and against the background of emaciated girls, Palvin looks very feminine and appetizing.

The girl willingly does charity work, which she is incredibly proud of. During a photo shoot for an advertising campaign by Giorgio Armani, she took part in a humanitarian action, thanks to which local residents got access to drinking water, which they previously had to walk for many kilometers.

Barbara does not forget about her loved ones and actively promotes the family shoe brand. Several stores have already appeared in Budapest where you can buy slip-ons and boats under the Palvin brand, and more recently, our heroine helped her sister open an event agency for organizing weddings and celebrations.
