Kobe Bryant‘s eldest daughter, Natalia, has recently been unveiled as the face of the UGG’s luxury brand campaign. Following her Milan Fashion Week debut, the 20-year-old USC student is now gracing the Autumn-Winter 2023 campaign for the footwear brand. In a recent interview with Elle magazine, she discussed her exciting new collaboration.

In her UGG campaign, she emphasizes the themes of self-love and self-expression. Throughout the interview, Natalia discussed her work as she continued to promote her late father’s Mamba Mentality and the power of positivity.

Natalia Bryant focuses on the “positive aspects“

The Los Angeles Lakers legend’s eldest provided a motivating message when asked about her approach to dealing with challenging situations. In an urge to inspire others, Natalia said, “I bring myself out of tough times by focusing my energy on the things that bring me happiness. I spend time with the people I love, like my family.”

Engaging in social interactions indeed helps individuals in coping with emotional upheaval or difficulties. Speaking of the same, she said, “I hang out with my friends, or listen to my favorite music. I do things that bring me peace and that put me in a much better headspace. I think it’s important to focus on the positive aspects life has to offer.”

It’s been three years since Kobe and his daughter, Gianna Bryant’s demise left their family and friends in profound sorrow. Both Vanessa and Natalia have shown remarkable strength and resilience in the face of the devastating loss of Kobe and Gianna.
