Imagine pouring your heart and soul into a dream for years, and then finally seeing it come true on one of the world's biggest stages. That's exactly what happened for model Abby Champion as she made her debut on the Victoria's Secret runway! But here's the thing: while Abby stunned in barely-there lingerie, glittering jewels, and those iconic angel wings, a different kind of supporter was stealing hearts from the sidelines: her husband, Patrick Schwarzenegger.
As Abby graced the runway, Patrick was spotted cheering her on with pride. Abby sported a sheer pink babydoll nightgown layered over a black lingerie set, complete with black angel wings adorned with playful, fringed tassels. She elevated the look with black open-toed, strappy heels and dangly pink earrings. Her blonde hair cascaded in soft waves, and shimmery eyeshadow, blush, and a glossy lip added the final touch of soft glam.
But this wasn't Abby's only show-stopping look! For her second outfit, she rocked bedazzled denim pants paired with a pink bra and a sparkly overlay. To top it all off, she sported an intricate headpiece embellished with beading and feather detailing. It was a true celebration of artistry and confidence.
Before the show, Patrick walked the pink carpet in tailored black pants, a simple tee, and a sleek leather jacket.
In an interview with Extra TV, Abby shared just how much this moment meant to both of them. "I mean this has been a goal of ours – both – for years," she said. "I mean, we have been dating 10 years and he knows how much this means to me." She highlighted Patrick's excitement, saying he was "so excited" when he learned she'd be walking in the show. "So, he'll be here tonight supporting and we're just super excited." Their decade-long relationship has clearly been built on mutual support and shared dreams.
But here's where it gets controversial... Some might say that a husband's support is expected, but Patrick's genuine enthusiasm and pride really stood out. Think about it – how often do we see such open and vocal support in high-pressure environments like the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?
The couple's journey to this point is a testament to their commitment. They tied the knot in a beautiful lakeside ceremony in Idaho earlier in September. Abby gushed about married life, saying, "I love being married. I had the most fun wedding ever. I'm just so happy to have like a sweet, fun husband." She also playfully reminded Patrick of his videography duties for the show, emphasizing the importance of capturing these special moments. "I already told him, 'Videos? You know what you're doing right? We need the video from you.' Don't mess it up," she joked.
After the show, Abby swapped her runway attire for a more casual ensemble: low-rise jeans paired with a yellow leather jacket, black ballet flats, and stylish sunglasses. The couple posed for some sweet snaps, radiating happiness and accomplishment.
Patrick and Abby's love story began ten years ago, culminating in a wedding a year and a half after Patrick's proposal. The ceremony took place at the Gozzer Ranch country club in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, and was attended by family, including Patrick's mother, Maria Shriver, and his father, Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was truly a family affair.
And this is the part most people miss... It's easy to get caught up in the glitz and glamour of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but at its heart, this story is about love, support, and shared dreams. It's about a couple cheering each other on, no matter how big the stage.
