During the occasion, Natalia stepped forward to receive her dad's ceremonial bright orange honorary coat which was synonymous with the Hall of Fame. The youngster was not alone as her mom showed moral support.

After they were presented with the coat alongside other Hall of Fame inductees, Vanessa put the jacket on her daughter, who rocked a polka dot Dolce and Gabbana dress.

Regarding the celebration for him, the pre-Hall of Fame event included an exclusive exhibit of many outstanding moments in Kobe's decorated sports career. During his lifetime, he was a five-time NBA champion and an 18-time NBA All-Star.

Her immediate big sister Bianka also donned the fashion piece while she posed with daddy's outlined memorabilia. In one of Vanessa's uploads, she also posed near her husband's photo, where it seemed like their noses touched.

In March, the mom-of-four opened up about dealing with the "unimaginable pain," which came with fleeting emotions. Vanessa noted that what keeps her going is inspiration from her children.

In January 2020, Kobe died in an aircraft crash in Calabasas alongside his daughter, Gianna. Other student-athletes and their parents numbering up to seven, including the pilot, also died.
