Kobe Bryant's Daughter Natalia, 21, Debuts New Long Hair & Now Looks Like Her Mom, Sparking Reactions

Kobe Bryant's daughter, Natalia Bryant, has debuted gorgeous long hair, sparking reactions. A fan said the hair makes Natalia look like her mother, Vanessa Bryant, and most fans agreed that she was stunning in her new look.

Natalia Bryant has debuted her new long hair. Natalia is the eldest daughter of the late Kobe Bryant. The basketball legend shared Natalia and her siblings, Bianka, Capri, and the late Gigi Bryant with his wife Vanessa Bryant.

Natalia made a stunning appearance at the Revolve Festival debuting her long black hair, which framed her lovely face. The new hair was styled in a captivating half ponytail, allowing the rest to cascade freely on her shoulders.

Before her current lovely long hair, Natalia sported a chic black bob that reached her neck. Though shorter, it was still eye-catching. Her appearance in a bob hairstyle was polished.

The sleek black bob gracefully framed her face, accentuating her features with elegance. The shorter length exuded a sense of confidence and style, while maintaining a youthful charm.

However, at the Revolve Festival, Natalia Bryant was magnificent. She looked elegant in a mini denim skirt cinched with a belt. Her tucked-in sweater written, "GIRL" and her black ankle boots paired with white socks added a classy touch to her entire look.

With rings, bangles, and necklaces as accessories, she radiated style. And her wide, enchanting smile brightened her face, adding to her charm and grace.

Fans couldn't contain their admiration for Natalia. One fan commented, "So cute wow," while an equally amazed fan wrote that Natalia was "the most perfect." Another fan described Natalia as a "stunning girl."

One fan reacted "Mom ❤️," suggesting that Natalia now looked like her mom with her new hair. "This fit is everything," said a fan who loved Natalia's attire. "So pretty as always," a fan concurred.

Natalia is a person who possesses both inner and outer beauty, along with intelligence and wit. She is currently enrolled at the University of Southern California's film school. Even while studying and working on her thesis, Natalia makes time for extracurricular activities.

In September 2023, she took time off to throw out the first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers Lakers Night game in her father’s honor. Natalia has also posed for a Bulgari campaign with her mother.

One day, her friend and classmate Alysha Wang recalled how she received an exciting text from her. Instead of sharing the news in the group chat, she waited until they were all gathered in the school lab. There, she joyfully announced, "Guys: I'm going to walk in Milan Fashion Week!"

Vanessa, who is impressed by her daughter's hard work, also said, "Natalia has always been able to accomplish anything she sets her mind to." She added, "I'm so proud of everything she's achieved and impressed by the kind, smart, and beautiful young woman I’ve seen her become."

Vanessa Bryant revealed that in every setting, be it at home, with friends, at work, or at school, Natalia remained fully engaged and committed, tackling challenges with unwavering passion.

Natalia's journey, transitioning from a girl in Newport Beach to a young adult with a camera in hand, mirrors her passion for storytelling and filmmaking. Inspired by directors like Sofia Coppola and Greta Gerwig, she's drawn to themes of girlhood and coming-of-age.

Natalia, who used to tell bedtime tales to her parents instead of the other way around, has a creative vision, that has blossomed into crafting intricate narratives. These narratives are evident in the five-and-a-half-minute short film she's completing for her junior thesis.

The 21-year-old's evolution reflects her dedication to capturing the essence of youthful experiences on screen. She has what it takes to make it, as her discipline, dedication, and creativity propel her to a successful future.

When Natalia made her runway debut at the Versace show on September 22, 2023, during Milan Fashion Week, she looked magnificent. As we previously reported on September 24, 2023, Natalia made headlines thanks to her modeling journey.

The young beauty hit the catwalk as her beloved mom, Vanessa, proudly watched from the front row. Natalia looked stylish modeling a black dress that featured angular shoulders.

She strutted the runway in silver chrome ballet flats and carried a classic black leather purse. The dark-haired beauty wore her hair in a voluminous half-up, half-down style and accessorized her look with statement rings and matching earrings.

Natalia reportedly exuded confidence while walking on the runway and acknowledged her achievement on Instagram, writing, VERSACE!! Grazie Mille!! It still feels like a dream. I am beyond honored and grateful."

Natalia's mother commented on her social media upload, penning, "I'm so proud of you, baby! Congratulations!!!" Vanessa also reiterated her statement on her Instagram alongside a photo of her beautiful daughter on the catwalk. "You did it, mama!!!!" she wrote.

However, some online users commented negatively about Natalia's milestone, stating modeling is not a good move for her. "Why not put your child through Harvard, Princeton, or Yale instead of in a catwalk?" asked one online user.

"Vanessa is setting a bad example, and this does not honor Kobe at all. The girl should get a college degree, start a business, get a job, or do something constructive. Being an actress or model is lame for this family," another social media user said.

Someone else penned, "She is beautiful, but there is more to life than walking on some runway. With all the opportunities at her feet, doesn't she want to accomplish anything with her life?" Meanwhile, one person suggested, "She should try out for the WNBA instead..."

Whether or not fans wish Natalia had set her sights on something else, the budding model has been enjoying her stint in fashion and meeting new people along the way.

While at the Brandon Maxwell show at New York Fashion Week in February 2023, Natalia got candid about the modeling world when asked about what she loves about the industry. "I think all the different relationships have been amazing," she said, adding having met some people from the industry has been her "favorite part."
