Natalia Bryant Can Now Add "Versace Runway Model" to Her Growing Fashion Résumé

Natalia Bryant might've just had her runway debut, but she was always destined for fashion. "My mom says, 'Walk like Naomi but remember to be yourself,'" the oldest daughter of Kobe and Vanessa Bryant told Vogue prior to her first show. "'Put your own style to your walk and always with your head held high.'" In fact, it's partially thanks to her mom that Bryant decided to pursue modeling in the first place, signing with IMG Models in 2021 and joining a crew of talent like Ashley Graham and Gigi Hadid at the agency. Fast forward to this year's Milan Fashion Week, and she's already walking alongside celebrities and industry icons like Kendall Jenner and Claudia Schiffer for Versace's spring show.

Leading up to her first catwalk, Bryant introduced herself to the fashion world with a series of heavy-hitting projects, earning her stripes before ever stepping foot on a runway. In early September, she appeared in UGG's new autumn campaign, joining model Aweng Chuol and rapper A$AP Nast. In 2021, she took time out of her freshman year at USC to grace the September cover of Teen Vogue, later attending the Met Gala in a sequin Connor Ives dress. She flexed more of her personal style at Vanity Fair's 2023 Oscars afterparty, wearing a black velvet Monsoori gown with floor-length sleeves, and showing more love to Versace with a zebra-print midi dress in March.

"Versace does such a great job at making women feel empowered and strong. At the show, there was this electric energy and everyone was so sweet and inspirational," she told The Zoe Report in March, seemingly unaware that she'd be walking for Versace herself in just a few short months.

In anticipation of her runway debut, Bryant asked a few of her fellow models if they had any helpful advice, sharing the answers on Vogue's Instagram. "Just try to take in the moment and let yourself remember it," Hadid responded before embracing Bryant backstage and expressing her pride.

Bryant's mom - the woman who started it all - also shared her excitement following her daughter's first runway. "I'm so proud of you! You did it mama," she wrote on Instagram. And if the past two years serve as any indication, she's only just getting started.

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...

Michael Kors has established himself as the go-to designer for all things American glamour, whether that's easy West Coast chic or '80s power bitch, so it was not particularly surprising when he cited the Studio 54-era of New York City as inspiration behind his Fall 2019 collection, shown ...
