Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri were dressed in different variations of Christmas red for a beautiful photoshoot. Apart from the ones seated on the burgundy couch, the littlest Bryants also posed between Nutcracker statues taller than them.

This holiday card earned besotted fans. Lisa Leslie, who was the WNBA champion at the same time as Kobe’s early championships, wrote, “Beautiful V! I can’t believe the girls are growing so fast❤️❤️❤️❤️ Happy Holidays.” New York Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu as well as Juju Watkins (who gets the USC editions of Nike Kobes, courtesy of Vanessa) had heart eyes and heart emojis for the lovely ladies in red.

Kobe’s one time teammate, Carlos Boozer, wished the ladies a Merry Christmas. NBA pro-turned-coach, Caron Butler kept it simple with a heart emoji too.

The iconic funnywoman, Loni Love said, “The Fam looks beautiful!!” Taraji P. Henson, whose own red number in The Color Purple is stealing the show, had purple heart emojis for them (very witty, T).
