Natalia Bryant just checked off a major modeling milestone, and she did it with plenty of pink.
The 23-year old daughter of the late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant made her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut on Sunday night at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles.
Natalia confidently walked the runway in a black bra with leopard-print accents from the brand’s PINK line. Kobe’s oldest daughter paired the look with low-rise jeans bedazzled in multi-colored gemstones, a hot pink shrug, a silver belt, and strappy heels. She accessorized with oversized heart earrings and a mirrorball-style handbag.
It was a big moment for Natalia, who admitted before the show that she had watched Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows since she was a kid and was over the moon to be a part of it herself.
“It feels amazing! I can’t wait. I used to watch the show every year — since I was a little girl,” Natalia told “Page Six.”
“I had the shows on repeat, really trying to get into that mindset. And it’s crazy, because now I’m in the room with some of the OGs. Angels are among us,” she added.
Natalia Bryant gets support from familiar faces at Victoria’s Secret runway debut
Moments before she took her first steps on the Victoria’s Secret runway, Natalia shared a backstage moment with Washington Spirit star <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/culture/entertainment/news/trinity-rodman-now-highest-paid-womens-soccer-player-world/d65cd5e93462dcdd91cac3d7″ rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank”>Trinity Rodman, who was also a newcomer in Sunday’s show. The two have known each other since childhood, as their fathers once played together in the NBA.
Natalia also had her biggest family supporter in the building.
Her mom, Vanessa Bryant, proudly shared a message on social media confirming that she wasn’t going to miss her daughter’s big moment.
“Mommy’s the 1st one here. Can’t be late for my girl. Let’s go Natalia Bryant,” Kobe’s widow wrote on her Instagram Stories.
Before taking her front-row seat next to actress Nicole Kidman, Vanessa walked the Victoria’s Secret pink carpet in a chic navy Dior dress and white heels.
After the show, Vanessa found a sweet way to include her late husband, Kobe, in Natalia’s big moment.
Vanessa shared a post from her ride home after Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” – a song Kobe famously taught himself to play by ear for her – came on the radio.
“Right before I exited the car, Moonlight Sonata started playing. Always with us. Kobe & Gigi. Sweet Signs,” Vanessa wrote.
