Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Natalia Bryant took a white man to prom.
Kobe Bryant’s daughter Natalia, just like his wife Vanessa and their other children, has continued to make sure her father’s legacy lives on. Currently, she is continuing her education at USC and wants to ensure that her dad’s famous ‘Mamba Mentality’ isn’t forgotten.In an interview with Elle, she talked about the ‘Mamba Mentality’ and how it’s likely different from the competitive mindstate many associate with Bryant.
“Mamba mentality is about constantly trying to be the best version of yourself. It’s putting your best foot forward at all times regardless of all the noise. I want to make sure that mentality stays intact, because it can be so easy to give up on yourself when things get tough.”
In an Instagram post shared a day after her first prom experience, Vanessa explained that Natalia had missed Saturday’s induction ceremony (where her late dad was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame) because her senior prom fell on the same night.
While Natalia joined her mom the day prior in receiving Kobe’s Hall of Fame jacket and ring during the Tip-Off Celebration and Awards Gala, Vanessa didn’t want her daughter to “miss out” on a “once in a lifetime” experience. So, they figured out a plan to get her home just in time for the big night.
“You have to remind yourself that with positivity and resilience, you can do anything.”
In addition to her academic career at USC, Natalia has a budding career as a model. In September, she made her debut on the runway at Milan Fashion Week. The appearance was then followed up by another runway appearance for Boss.
Natalia posted an Instagram Reel captioned “promx2” where she filmed herself in casual clothing before switching into her glam prom look: a floral-print fit-and-flare Dolce & Gabbana dress.
Natalia wore her hair blown out in a sleek, straight center-parted style and complemented the colorful confection with some dark, smoky eyeshadow and false lashes.
“Yassss Nani Boo! So pretty 🥰,” singer Ciara (and Bryant family friend) commented.
