Natalia Bryant Makes Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Debut
The model walked in her first show for the lingerie brand, a childhood dream realized.
Natalia Bryant, 23, walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Sunday, marking her debut for the lingerie brand. The event was held at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.
Bryant, the daughter of late NBA icon Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant, wore a Victoria's Secret Pink ensemble that included a pink shrug over a black bra with leopard-print lettering. Her outfit was completed with blue jeans adorned with colorful gemstones, a silver belt with dog-themed trinkets, a mirrorball handbag, and strappy silver heels. She also sported large heart-shaped silver earrings and a pink bow headband.
She told Page Six prior to the show that she was "over the moon" to be making her debut. Bryant recalled watching the show annually since childhood and studying the models' walks. "I had the shows on repeat, really trying to get into that mindset," she said, adding that it felt surreal to be "in the room with some of the OGs." Her favorite model, Candice Swanepoel, was among those she hoped to meet.
Bryant described her pre-show wellness routine as including yoga, stretching, and listening to a playlist of artists such as Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, and Tate McRae.
This appearance follows a Pink campaign for fall 2024. Bryant, a graduate of USC's School of Cinematic Arts, signed with IMG Models five years ago. Her runway modeling career began with Versace Spring/Summer 2024 in September 2023 during Milan Fashion Week, and she has since walked for brands like Boss and Off-White, and appeared in campaigns for Adidas and David Yurman.
Other notable models who appeared in the show included Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Jasmine Tookes, Ashley Graham, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Irina Shayk.
