Natalia Bryant Honors Kobe with 'Black Mamba' Logo on Stole at USC Graduation in Photo

Natalia Bryant, the oldest daughter of late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, paid homage to her father while graduating with honors from USC.

Bryant wore a stole embroidered with her father's "Black Mamba" logo during her graduation from the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

Natalia lost her father and her younger sister, Gianna, in a helicopter crash that resulted in the deaths of nine people in January 2020.

Kobe was represented on her stole through his "sheath" logo, which he said in a 2014 interview with Esquire's Mike Sager was designed to look like the sheath of a samurai's sword.

Natalia's stole also featured Greek letters representing her sorority of Kappa Kappa Gamma, as well as "Class of 2025" and "Cum Laude."

Natalia's mother, Vanessa Bryant, shared a close-up image of the stole on Instagram with the caption "4 ever," followed by emojis including a crown and a snake.

Natalia told Teen Vogue's Kara Nesvig in January 2024 that she wanted to use her film degree to direct “girlhood and ­coming-of-age stories" after graduating.
