Kobe Bryant’s 2 Rarely-Seen Curly-Haired Daughters Look ‘Exactly’ Like Their Late Dad Now: New Pics Stun Fans

Vanessa Bryant looked stunning in a recent Instagram post with her two young daughters, Bianka and Capri. In the post, Vanessa and her girls basked in the sun on what appeared to be a picnic day with their tiny dog.

She also shared a video of them playing with bubbles in a park and a selfie of dining out in a restaurant. Some of her other shares were from their dinner at the famed restaurant Nobu.

Fans and social media users alike couldn’t help but notice the strong resemblance between Bianka, Capri, and their late father, Kobe Bryant. Many took their thoughts to the comments section, claiming that the two kids looked much like their dad.

One admirer remarked, “She looks beautiful and the girls are so cute. They look like twins.” Another noted, “Them babies look exactly like Kobe.” A follower expressed surprise, saying, “Wait! So and [sic] had 4 girls? I didn’t know she had two small girls. I thought it was only one.” Another observed, “They look like their Dad especially Bianka.”

Compliments for Vanessa’s strength and beauty were abundant, with one user commenting, “She’s a really strong woman. And those babies are beautiful.” Other fans chimed in with praise, calling the girls, “The most fabulous girls!” and “Sooooo all so pretty!”

In the photos, Vanessa looked stunning in a green and white puffed-sleeved dress, while Bianka and Capri wore matching white dresses and yellow cardigans. Vanessa’s dress, an Off-White Maxi from FarmRio, retails at $315.

It features a V-neckline, long sleeves, center front buttons, and plastic buttons. Made of 52% linen and 48% viscose, the dress was crafted from 100% recycled materials, emphasizing sustainability.

Vanessa, Bianka and Capri, recently returned home after spending a delightful weekend in New York City. The doting mom documented their quick getaway, sharing a series of heartwarming pictures and videos from their trip. In one photo, one of her daughters was seen smiling while aboard a private plane, capturing the excitement of their journey.

Another snapshot featured both girls posing on the steps of what appeared to be a hotel lobby, dressed in matching outfits.

Bianka and Capri also posed in front of a doll collection, wearing similar dresses adorned with oversized bow headbands, adding a touch of whimsy to their adventure.

A standout moment from the trip was meeting Sabrina Ionescu, a basketball player for the New York Liberty of the WNBA. Vanessa shared videos of her daughters spending time on the court with Sabrina, enjoying some basketball fun.

“So glad we got to see ‘Beana’ @sabrina_i,” she captioned the post. Sabrina replied, “Shooting definitely runs in the family,” highlighting the girls’ inherited love for the game.

Vanessa, famously known as the wife of NBA superstar Kobe, is the devoted mother of four beautiful children: Gianna, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. Tragically, in 2020, Vanessa lost her husband and daughter Gianna in a devastating helicopter crash.

The sudden loss left Vanessa heartbroken, having to navigate the immense grief of losing a spouse and a child overnight. As a public figure, the world watched her pain, yet she found the will to move forward for the sake of her remaining children.

In the years since the tragedy, Vanessa has drawn strength and motivation from her daughters Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. “My girls are my reason,” she shared. “Helping my girls navigate through this heartache is important to me. Making sure that they know that they are loved, supported, and important is what motivates me.”

While Vanessa strives to remain strong, there are times when her sadness is apparent to her children. She has acknowledged that her daughters know when she is having a hard day, but seeing them motivates her to push through for them.

Vanessa counteracts her sadness by trying to make her daughters smile, always seeking to find light in the darkness. They reciprocate her love and support, helping her rebuild their lives. “I can’t say that I’m strong every day [and] I can’t say that there aren’t days when I feel like I can’t survive to the next,” Vanessa admitted.

She especially admires Natalia, who, despite her own grief, managed to balance her senior year of high school, apply to colleges, care for her younger sisters, and even sign a modeling contract with IMG. “She is a wonderful big sister and an incredible daughter,” Vanessa added.

Natalia is the eldest daughter of the late Kobe Bryant and Vanessa. We previously reported about her long hair debut, which made her look more like her mom.

Natalia made a stunning appearance at the Revolve Festival debuting her long black hair, which framed her lovely face. The new hair was styled in a captivating half ponytail, allowing the rest to cascade freely on her shoulders.

Before her current lovely long hair, Natalia sported a chic black bob that reached her neck. Though shorter, it was still eye-catching. Her appearance in a bob hairstyle was polished.

The sleek black bob gracefully framed her face, accentuating her features with elegance. The shorter length exuded a sense of confidence and style while maintaining a youthful charm.

However, at the Revolve Festival, Natalia Bryant was magnificent. She looked elegant in a mini denim skirt cinched with a belt. Her tucked-in sweater written, “GIRL” and her black ankle boots paired with white socks added a classy touch to her entire look.

With rings, bangles, and necklaces as accessories, she radiated style. And her wide, enchanting smile brightened her face, adding to her charm and grace.

Fans couldn’t contain their admiration for Natalia. One fan commented, “So cute wow,” while an equally amazed fan wrote that Natalia was “the most perfect.” Another fan described Natalia as a “stunning girl.”

One fan reacted “Mom ❤️,” suggesting that Natalia now looked like her mom with her new hair. “This fit is everything,” said a fan who loved Natalia’s attire. “So pretty as always,” a fan concurred.

Besides her outer beauty, Natalia possesses inner beauty, along with intelligence and wit. She is currently enrolled at the University of Southern California’s film school. Even while studying and working on her thesis, Natalia makes time for extracurricular activities.

In September 2023, she took time off to throw out the first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers Lakers Night game in her father’s honor. Natalia has also posed for a Bulgari campaign with her mother.

One day, her friend and classmate Alysha Wang recalled how she received an exciting text from her. Instead of sharing the news in the group chat, she waited until they were all gathered in the school lab. There, she joyfully announced, “Guys: I’m going to walk in Milan Fashion Week!”

Vanessa, who is impressed by her daughter’s hard work, also said, “Natalia has always been able to accomplish anything she sets her mind to.” She added, “I’m so proud of everything she’s achieved and impressed by the kind, smart, and beautiful young woman I’ve seen her become.”

Vanessa Bryant revealed that in every setting, be it at home, with friends, at work, or at school, Natalia remained fully engaged and committed, tackling challenges with unwavering passion.

Natalia’s journey, transitioning from a girl in Newport Beach to a young adult with a camera in hand, mirrors her passion for storytelling and filmmaking. Inspired by directors like Sofia Coppola and Greta Gerwig, she’s drawn to themes of girlhood and coming-of-age.

Natalia, who used to tell bedtime tales to her parents instead of the other way around, has a creative vision, that has blossomed into crafting intricate narratives. These narratives are evident in the five-and-a-half-minute short film she’s completing for her junior thesis.

The 21-year-old’s evolution reflects her dedication to capturing the essence of youthful experiences on screen. She has what it takes to make it, as her discipline, dedication, and creativity propel her to a successful future.

When Natalia made her runway debut at the Versace show on September 22, 2023, during Milan Fashion Week, she looked magnificent. As we previously reported on September 24, 2023, Natalia made headlines thanks to her modeling journey.

The young beauty hit the catwalk as her beloved mom, Vanessa, proudly watched from the front row. Natalia looked stylish modeling a black dress that featured angular shoulders.

She strutted the runway in silver chrome ballet flats and carried a classic black leather purse. The dark-haired beauty wore her hair in a voluminous half-up, half-down style and accessorized her look with statement rings and matching earrings.

Natalia reportedly exuded confidence while walking on the runway and acknowledged her achievement on Instagram, writing, VERSACE!! Grazie Mille!! It still feels like a dream. I am beyond honored and grateful.”

Natalia’s mother commented on her social media upload, penning, “I’m so proud of you, baby! Congratulations!!!” Vanessa also reiterated her statement on her Instagram alongside a photo of her beautiful daughter on the catwalk. “You did it, mama!!!!” she wrote.

However, some online users commented negatively about Natalia’s milestone, stating modeling is not a good move for her. “Why not put your child through Harvard, Princeton, or Yale instead of in a catwalk?” asked one online user.

“Vanessa is setting a bad example, and this does not honor Kobe at all. The girl should get a college degree, start a business, get a job, or do something constructive. Being an actress or model is lame for this family,” another social media user said.

Someone else penned, “She is beautiful, but there is more to life than walking on some runway. With all the opportunities at her feet, doesn’t she want to accomplish anything with her life?” Meanwhile, one person suggested, “She should try out for the WNBA instead…”

Whether or not fans wish Natalia had set her sights on something else, the budding model has been enjoying her stint in fashion and meeting new people along the way.

While at the Brandon Maxwell show at New York Fashion Week in February 2023, Natalia got candid about the modeling world when asked about what she loves about the industry. “I think all the different relationships have been amazing,” she said, adding having met some people from the industry has been her “favorite part.”
