For Natalia Bryant, a childhood dream came true last weekend. The daughter of basketball legend Kobe Bryant walked the runway for the first time at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 on Sunday evening in Los Angeles. She also revealed that she had been preparing for this first fashion show since she was a child.
“I’ve watched the show every year since I was little,” the 23-year-old told Page Six before his big appearance on the podium. The model modeled the “PINK” line for her Victoria’s Secret debut.
Trinity Rodman also present
For her Sunday night performance, Natalia Bryant wore a black leopard print bra, covered with a hot pink bolero. She paired it with colorful gem embellished jeans, silver high heels and a disco ball shaped handbag.
A bow headband and heart-shaped earrings completed her outfit. Small stuffed dogs hanging from her studded belt added a playful touch.
The American was in good company for her show: many famous models were also present, including Gigi Hadid, Irina Shayk, Joan Smalls, Alessandra Ambrosio, Jasmine Tookes and Alex Consani. Trinity Rodman also became the first footballer to walk the runway for the lingerie brand.
Natalia’s father, Kobe Bryant, died in a tragic helicopter crash on January 26, 2020, near Calabasas, California, along with his daughter Gianna, then 13, and seven others. A year after this tragedy, Natalia was able to sign her first modeling contract.
