Natalia Bryant, the 18-year-old daughter of the late Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant, wore a stunning pink tulle dress for her big night. Her mother explained how she didn’t want her daughter to miss out on fun opportunities.

The IMG model showed off her look on Instagram. She dazzled in a rosy pink tea-length dress with off-the-shoulder straps. Natalia completed the ensemble with loose curls, nude sandals, a pink and white corsage, and a pendant necklace bearing the word “ALWAYS.”

Celebs rushed to the comments section to compliment Natalia’s gorgeous dress and her bright smile. Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown called her “Stunning.” Actress Lily Collins wrote, “Just the prettiest there is” and singer Ciara fittingly declared her “Princess.” Other celebs such as actresses Dakota Fanning and Yara Shahidi commented pink emojis to match Natalia’s dress.

Vanessa Bryant posted a picture with her daughter on Instagram and wrote that she almost missed her prom because it was on the same night as Kobe Bryant’s Hall of Fame night. Vanessa remembered how she had missed her own prom because she was engaged to Kobe, who had a playoff game that night. She wrote, “Natalia’s experienced so much loss, I couldn’t let her miss out on her once in a lifetime opportunity to go to her senior prom. Thank you for flying out to accept daddy’s Hall of Fame jacket and fly home the next morning.” Natalia lost her father and 13-year-old sister, Gianna, in a tragic helicopter accident last year.

Fans expressed their love for Natalia’s prom ensemble and their appreciation of her strength on Twitter.
