Kobe Bryant’s eldest daughter Natalia, now 20, is officially a runway model – despite not being rail thin, Media Take Out confirmed.
And that has many trolls on social media mocking the gorgeous new model. Natalia was trending on Black Twitter last night – with many saying not so nice things about Kobe’s daughter.

The 20-year-old wore an all-black selection from the designer, comprised of a structured midi-length dress with bold shoulder detailing and silver, metallic flats.
“I am beyond excited about making my runway debut. It’s such an incredible opportunity and I’m so grateful to Donatella [Versace] and am honored that she has invited me to be a part of something so special,” Bryant told Vogue.

Natalia continued: “I wanted to start fresh and do my own thing without having to worry about comparing myself to anyone or setting myself to anyone’s standard. Thankfully I’ve only had positive experiences and I’ve been so happy to see how supportive and welcoming everyone has been.”
On Instagram, the “proud” mom shared a snapshot of her from the event, gushing over her daughter’s big reveal.
