Gigi Hadid’s Advice for Natalia Bryant
Gigi Hadid’s advice, though simple, carried profound meaning: “Just try to take in the moment and let yourself remember it.” Bryant, visibly moved by the words of the seasoned supermodel, confessed that she was on the verge of tears, overwhelmed by the magnitude of the occasion.
Hadid, who also graced the Versace show during Milan Fashion Week, offered a glimpse behind the scenes, cautioning Bryant about the demanding nature of rehearsals. “They’re gonna tell you to walk fast. They’re gonna yell. They’re gonna scream at you to walk fast,” Hadid revealed. However, she concluded her advice with an outpouring of encouragement, telling Bryant, “You’re gonna be great. I love you! I’m so proud of you I’m gonna cry.”
Natalia Bryant also received counsel from fellow models Amelia Gray Hamlin and Precious Lee. Hamlin’s message was one of empowerment, urging Bryant to “Own it! Just walk.” Precious Lee exuded confidence and generosity, telling Bryant, “Think of something you want to keep in mind. I own everything. Everything is mine. But you can borrow it if you need to.” Bryant responded with enthusiasm, saying, “That would be great.”
