Natalia Bryant has added another major milestone to her modeling career, making her debut on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway Sunday night.
The 23-year-old model, the eldest daughter of Vanessa Bryant and the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, joined a star-studded lineup for the fashion event, walking for the brand’s Pink sub-label.
Bryant stood out in a youthful, streetwear-inspired look that combined bright colors with playful details. She wore a black bra featuring leopard-print lettering, a hot-pink shrug and light-wash jeans decorated with multicolored gemstones. A studded belt featuring miniature Pink stuffed dogs and silver heart-shaped earrings completed the ensemble.
Natalia Bryant Says She Was “Over the Moon”
Before stepping onto the runway in Culver City, California, Bryant shared her excitement about joining a show she had watched since childhood.
“I used to watch the show every year, since I was a little girl,” she said, describing herself as “over the moon” about being part of this year’s lineup.
Bryant also revealed that she had spent weeks preparing, repeatedly watching footage of previous shows to help her get into the right mindset for the runway.
Her debut placed her alongside established fashion names, including Gigi Hadid, Alessandra Ambrosio, Irina Shayk and Joan Smalls.
From Pink Campaigns to the Runway
Although this was Bryant’s first Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show appearance, she had already worked with the brand. She featured in a Pink campaign in fall 2024, giving her an earlier connection to the company before stepping onto its runway.
Her modeling résumé also includes runway appearances for fashion houses such as Versace, Boss and Off-White. She has appeared in advertising campaigns for jewelry brand David Yurman and sportswear company Adidas.
Bryant made her runway debut at Versace’s Spring/Summer 2024 show, marking an early step in a career that has continued to expand across fashion campaigns and runway presentations.
Victoria’s Secret Show Welcomes a New Generation
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has continued to evolve as the brand seeks to combine its signature theatrical presentation with a broader approach to casting.
Bryant’s debut reflects the arrival of a new generation of models on a runway long associated with some of fashion’s biggest names. With experience across luxury fashion, sportswear and the Pink brand, she is building a portfolio that extends beyond her famous family name.
Sunday’s appearance marked another significant step in that journey, giving Bryant her first turn on one of the fashion industry’s most recognizable runways.
