Natalia Bryant, the daughter of the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant, is in the process of securing the most iconic line in the history of resumes: she is a Beyoncé aide.
Bryant is an intern on the superstar's Renaissance World Tour, which is one of the most indulgent, thrilling, and fanfiction-like sentences ever. The 20-year-old model and college student was listed on Beyoncé's website under the Parkwood Entertainment section of the newly disclosed tour credits. Beyoncé established the record label and business entity Parkwood in 2010.
Bryant nor her mother Vanessa have acknowledged her new summer employment publicly or on social media, but this is not her first collaboration with Beyoncé.
Bryant, who is represented by IMG Models, appeared in the 2021 Halls of Ivy campaign for Ivy Park, referring to the icon as "Auntie BB" in her caption. Vanessa and Kobe Bryant are longstanding friends of Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z, and their families even spend the holidays together.
Beyoncé is renowned for performing a touching tribute at the memorial service for Kobe and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna in 2020, following their untimely deaths.
The European leg of Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour started off earlier this month in Stockholm, Sweden, with the North American leg beginning in Toronto in July.
Uncertain are the specifics of Natalia's contribution to the tour's production, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the University of Southern California student, who is working alongside some of the greatest artists and mentors in nearly every aspect of the entertainment industry imaginable.
In addition to Beyoncé, the superstar's mother Tina Knowles is credited with costume direction, AMORPHOUS is credited with contributing to the tour's musical arrangements, and Larry and Laurent Bourgeois are listed as the tour's main dancers.
Wednesday marked the beginning of Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour in Stockholm, and to say she set the bar high would be an understatement. This is Queen Bey's first tour in five years, and she has undoubtedly given what was necessary.
With her Renaissance album significantly influenced by house music - a disco-influenced genre with roots in the gay community - Beyonce's performance attire was club couture. Queen Bey demonstrated her uniqueness by undergoing multiple wardrobe changes throughout the performance, all of which were haute couture.
She began the evening by performing the popular song "Dangerous in Love" while wearing a custom Alexander McQueen bodysuit inspired by the brand's Fall/Winter 2023 collection. As the evening progressed, more jaw-dropping ensembles were revealed, including her custom Loewe bodysuit inspired by the glove print dress from the Fall/Winter 2022 collection and the custom Coperni mini dress and metallic cloak she wore while sitting atop the now-iconic holographic horse.
