Gigi Hadid Encourages Natalia Bryant for Her First Time on the Runway


Natalia Bryant, the daughter of the late basketball player Kobe Bryant, walked her first show at Milan Fashion Week. Gigi Hadid gave her some good advice.

In a film that Vogue Magazine posted on Instagram, Natalia can be seen backstage at the Versace show wearing an all-black knee-length outfit and asking more experienced models for advice.

Before they went out on the runway together, the experienced beauty gave the new one some great advice.

Gigi started her tips by giving a glimpse of how crazy it was backstage. “In the rehearsal, they’re gonna tell you to walk fast. They’re gonna yell. They’re gonna scream at you to walk fast.”

Khai’s mother later gave the 20-year-old some words of encouragement.

“I said to just try to take in the moment and let yourself like remember it,” she said.

At the end of the film, they had an emotional moment together. Gigi told him, “You’re gonna be great. I love you! I’m so proud of you I’m gonna cry.”

Natalia told her straight up, “No I’m freaking out. I’m gonna cry..”

Before she walked on the runway for the first time, Kobe’s daughter told Vogue, “I am beyond excited about making my runway debut. It’s such an incredible opportunity and I’m so grateful to Donatella [Versace].”

The newest fashion star said that her favorite model, Naomi, made her want to be the next big thing in fashion.

She said, “I’ve always loved watching videos of Naomi walking down the runway along with videos of other iconic supermodels I look up to.”

The daughter of Vanessa Bryant talked about how her mother encouraged her to be herself. She said, “My mom says, ‘Walk like Naomi but remember to be yourself, put your own style to your walk and always with your head held high.’”
