While studying film, she developed a passion for filmmaking and drew inspiration from directors including Sofia Coppola and Greta Gerwig, particularly around stories dealing with girlhood and coming-of-age. That creative side has helped make her career somewhat unusual: Natalia isn’t simply following one path. She’s building a place for herself in both fashion and film.
Her mother has also spoken proudly about the way Natalia approaches those ambitions. Vanessa said, “Natalia has always been able to accomplish anything she sets her mind to.” She added, “I’m so proud of everything she’s achieved and impressed by the kind, smart, and beautiful young woman I’ve seen her become.”
Natalia has also continued to honor her family, including her late father and sister Gianna, while pursuing her own career. In September 2023, she threw out the first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers Lakers Night game held in Kobe Bryant’s honor, another public moment that connected her growing adulthood with her family’s legacy.
Her fashion evolution has been visible in smaller details, too. Before the long hair she has worn at more recent appearances, Natalia was known for a sleek black bob that reached her neck and framed her face in a much shorter, polished style.
At the Revolve Festival, she later debuted long black hair styled in a half ponytail, with the rest falling over her shoulders. She paired the new hairstyle with a mini denim skirt, belt, tucked-in sweater emblazoned with “GIRL,” black ankle boots and white socks, completing the look with rings, bangles and necklaces.
That transformation — from the youthful bob to longer hair, major runway appearances, and increasingly polished public looks — may explain why so many fans noticed how different Natalia looks now. Take a look at the photos below
