Vanessa Bryant was the happiest about her daughter's graduation and posted pictures on Instagram to show her pride. Bryant made two posts, one was a photograph of Natalia Bryant wearing her graduation sash. The other was just a close-up of her sash focusing on the words, Cum Laude.

"We’re so proud of you @nataliabryant ! ❤️🎓🎉#USC ✌️#GRAD #CumLaude." Bryant wrote under the post.

"4 ever 🫶🏽❤️👑🐍 @nataliabryant ❤️🎉 #USCGRAD #CumLaude."

Natalia Bryant's graduation sash seemed to be custom-made as it featured Kobe Bryant's Mamba logo. A special gesture from Kobe's daughter to wear his logo on one of the most important days of her life.

Whether Bryant models or goes into filmmaking after college, fans can rest assured, knowing that she will continue to honor Kobe's legacy. Her mother, Vanessa Bryant, has also done a stellar job of keeping her husband and daughter, Gianna's legacy alive through the Mamba and Mambacita foundations.

Thanks to his wife's efforts, Kobe Bryant's shoes are still some of the most commonly worn sneakers in the NBA, even five years after his tragic demise.
