Natalia Bryant, the daughter of late basketball legend Kobe Bryant, received some valuable advice from supermodel Gigi Hadid before her runway debut at Milan Fashion Week. In an Instagram post for Vogue, 20-year-old Bryant asked her peers for advice, but it was Hadid who shared a special moment with her.
Before their on-camera encounter, Hadid had already provided some guidance to the young model. She advised Bryant to "take in the moment and let yourself remember it." Hadid also shared behind-the-scenes information, revealing that during rehearsals, they would be told to walk fast and would face loud instructions.
Bryant made her debut on September 22, 2023, at the Versace Spring/Summer 2024 Show. She also walked the runway in the Boss Spring/Summer 2024 show. Bryant expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, especially thanking Donatella Versace for making her feel comfortable. She mentioned drawing inspiration from supermodel Naomi Campbell and emphasized the importance of staying true to herself and her style. Vanessa Bryant, Natalia's mother, showed her support from the front row and shared her pride on Instagram.
