New USC grad Natalia Bryant was on site Monday afternoon to open the new Mamba & Mambacita Sports basketball court, and she paid homage to her late sister Gigi in heartwarming fashion.
For the event, Natalia wore the white iteration of her sister's No. 2 Mamba Academy jersey, which features Gigi's name on the back. Also present is her father's iconic Mamba logo, which she also made sure to put on the right side of her USC-themed stole for her graduation. The model paired the jersey with vintage-style baggy jeans and white sneakers. At different points in the appearance, she could be spotted posing with a bottle of Body Armor, which her dad infamously invested $6 million in back in 2013.
By the time Coca-Cola acquired the company in 2021, that $6 million Kobe put down had reportedly ballooned to $400 million, showing his incredible business intuition. Back to Natalia, she has big plans after graduating from USC's School of Cinematic Arts with Cum Laude honors, which means we can expect to start seeing her name pop up in the film world more now that she officially has her degree.

In the meantime, she continues to expand upon the modeling career she's been building since high school.
In an October 2023 interview with Elle, Natalia spoke a bit about her love of fashion. "I love to express myself through fashion," she told the publication, adding, "Everyone has their own unique style, and I love to put my own twists on my looks that speak to my personality. Whether it be with clothes, shoes or accessories, I think fashion makes a statement about your confidence and sense of individuality."
She has been signed to IMG Models since February 2021.
