Jennifer wasn’t the only celebrity to pay tribute to Kobe and Gianna with her manicure as another celebrity had Kobe and Gianna's names written across their fingernails.

The American singer and songwriter, Beyonce, paid tribute not only with her performance that day but also with her beautifully polished nails. According to Hollywood Life:

"Bey painted her long nails purple, as a tribute to the Lakers, and had the name Gigi written across all of her fingers in silver sparkles on her left hand, while Kobe’s name was written out on her right hand."

The memorial, which took place at the Staples Center, fondly called "the house that Kobe built," was indeed a memorable one as people from all over the world showed up to support the Bryant family.

At intervals, Kobe's close friends and family took to the stage to honor the basketball players who lost their lives last month.

Kobe and Gianna were among the nine people that died in a helicopter crash in January, while they were on their way to a basketball game at Mamba Academy.

Kobe and his 13-year-old daughter are survived by his wife, Vanessa Bryant, and three children, Natalia, Bianca, and Capri Bryant.
