Natalia Bryant brought playful pink energy to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Sunday at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, making her runway debut for the lingerie and apparel brand.
The 23-year-old daughter of late basketball star Kobe Bryant hit Sunday’s runway in a velour long-sleeve pink bolero with a branded black bra with “Pink” embossed in purple leopard print fabric on the cups. Bryant nodded to the Y2K resurgence as well, sporting a pair of low-rise blue jeans bedazzled with multicolor gemstones.
Bryant piled on the accessories, sporting everything from scrunchies to large, heart-shaped hoop earrings, silver bangles and statement rings with her look. Bryant also toted a Pink brand purse and added a shimmering silver belt with a bevy of Pink dog charms.
Bryant wasn’t the only basketball legacy’s daughter to hit Sunday’s runway. Trinity Rodman also hit the catwalk — another runway debut — with a sporty chic look from the brand. Rodman, who is the highest-paid player in the National Women’s Soccer League, wore short-shorts and styled the peekaboo bra layering trend with her cropped top to boot.
While Rodman was certainly new to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Bryant’s appearance marked the latest step in the young model’s burgeoning career.
At 18 years old, Bryant signed with IMG Models in February 2021. “I have always been interested in fashion since a very young age,” Bryant said in an exclusive statement. “I have a love for the industry, and ever since I can remember, I wanted to model. There is a lot to learn, but I feel this is a great opportunity for me to learn and express myself creatively.”
The 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to Los Angeles on Sunday for the first time since 2007. The lingerie brand revived its annual runway show in 2024 following a six-year hiatus.
For the 2026 edition, models Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Anok Yai and Alex Consani hit the runway. There were also performances from Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, Megan Moroney and Katseye. The show also marked the return of the Fantasy Bra, which was modeled by Kylie Jenner. Amina Muaddi served as the official footwear partner and Swarovski as the official crystal sponsor.
