Introducing September cover star NataliaBryant 💗 ✨ ➡️
You see her. You cannot miss her. Natalia Bryant is near six feet tall and moves with the certainty of a born and bred California girl who came thissssss close to pursuing college volleyball. She’s used to sunny days, and sand between her toes.
“Heeyy!” That’s the energy, with a bounce in her walk, and to just about everyone. “Thank you so much for being here!” Eighteen is an obsessive, dreamy age, and the mood in Brentwood is blue butterflies and pure possibility. Natalia is center stage in a fuschia Alejandra Alonso Rojas sheath and flat black faux-leather Proenza Schouler boots, the ones that ease softly as lambskin, just over the knee. Creating Natalia’s portraits is the Bronx’s own Raven B. Varona aka RavieB — meticulous, charismatic — famous for the illuminating shots of Beyoncé and Jay Z on their 2018 On The Run II world tour.
Nor will they play down Black and brown girlhood and its celebrations. From the speakers on set is Brandy’s 1994 “I Wanna Be Down.” It’s Brandy’s first single ever, a huge hit recorded when she was 14. Two years later, the same Brandy, a California girl herself, attended prom with a senior named Kobe Bryant. This serendipity floats under Natalia’s delight in her deeply modified al fresco debut. It’s a sign of life in brutal times.
