Vanessa Bryant was one proud mom on Friday as her and Kobe Bryant’s oldest daughter Natalia Bryant graduated from the University of Southern California.

Natalia, 22, graduated cum laude from the School of Cinematic Arts with a degree in film.

Her and Vanessa, 43, hang out a lot looking like twins in matching fits like their all-black ski ones for a trip with Pau Gasol and his family, and while at a Los Angeles Dodgers game in awesome hats, and in cowgirl fits for a Beyoncé concert recently.

Natalia is also helping mom with her younger sisters Bianka, 8, and Carpi, 5. When she’s not doing that, she’s also a model who just had full glam photos with a new hairstyle drop right before graduation that mom absolutely loved.

For grad night, Natalia posted in her beautiful white dress with a huge smile.

When she says “We’re” no doubt she’s including dad and sister Gigi, who also tragically passed away in the 2020 helicopter crash that took the lives of nine people.

Vanessa would post one more proud photo and message:
