Natalia Bryant, 19, is embracing her glamorous rise to stardom while staying close to family. Over the weekend, she and her mother, Vanessa Bryant, enjoyed a ski trip in a stunning, snow-filled location, joined by Kobe Bryant’s former Lakers teammate Pau Gasol and his family.
Vanessa shared the adventure on Instagram, posting a video that showed Natalia confidently leading her younger sisters, Bianka (8) and Capri (5), down the mountain. The mother-daughter duo twinned in sleek black ski outfits, and in one photo, they were nearly indistinguishable—save for their helmet colors.
This family getaway comes just weeks after Natalia turned heads at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party on March 2, where she stunned in a black gown and mingled with Hollywood’s elite, including Maude and Iris Apatow. Standing at 5’9”, she’s been making waves in the modeling industry, booking major gigs while balancing her college life at USC.
The ski trip was a full-circle family moment, as the Gasols—longtime close friends of the Bryants—joined in on the fun. Pau Gasol and his wife, Catherine McDonnell, named their eldest daughter Elisabet Gianna Gasol in honor of the late Gianna Bryant, who tragically passed away with Kobe in a 2020 helicopter crash. Vanessa is also Elisabet’s godmother, further solidifying the families’ deep bond.
While Vanessa didn’t reveal their exact location, the winter wonderland setting was breathtaking. The post included photos of the kids playing together, snapshots of the families enjoying their time on the slopes, and a touching reminder of the enduring connection between the Bryants and the Gasols.
