Natalia Bryant is ready for her wings.
Tonight, the 23-year-old model and eldest daughter of the late Kobe Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, walked the Victoria’s Secret runway for the first time at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She joined an impressive array of returning stars, like Irina Shayk, Joan Smalls, Alex Consani, Alessandra Ambrosio, Gigi Hadid, and Jasmine Tookes, just to name a few.
On the runway, Natalia was decked out in a look from Victoria’s Secret Pink, including a black bra with the brand’s name emblazoned across the front in leopard letters, which was layered underneath a hot-pink shrug.
The look was completed with a few dazzling accessories, including a mirrorball handbag, silver heels, and jeans bedazzled with multicolor gemstones. Natalia also wore a bow-adorned headband and silver heart-shaped earrings, while her studded belt was strung with mini versions of the Pink stuffed animal dog.
Ahead of her milestone runway moment, Natalia told Page Six that she was “over the moon” about getting to be a part of the event. “I used to watch the show every year, since I was a little girl,” she told the outlet, adding that she prepared for her walk by watching old Victoria’s Secret show clips. “I had the shows on repeat, really trying to get into that mindset.”

Over the past few years, Natalia has been slowly building up her fashion résumé. She made her runway debut at the Versace Spring/Summer 2024 show a few years back, and she has since walked the catwalk for houses like Boss and Off-White. Not to mention, she’s also appeared in campaigns for the likes of Adidas and David Yurman.
This isn’t the first time Natalia has teamed up with Victoria’s Secret, either. She previously appeared in a fall 2024 campaign for the brand’s sub-label, Pink.
