Bryant made her debut on Sept. 22, 2023, at the Versace Spring/Summer 2024 Show during Milan Fashion Week. In addition to the Versace Spring/Summer 2024 Show, the model also walked the runway during the Boss Spring/Summer 2024 show later that day.

Ahead of her debut, the IMG model told Vogue, “I am beyond excited about making my runway debut. It’s such an incredible opportunity and I’m so grateful to Donatella [Versace] and am honored that she has invited me to be a part of something so special.”

Bryant explained she met Versace on Thursday, Sept. 21, who instantly made Bryant feel at ease.

“She was just so welcoming and sweet and made me feel so comfortable, especially with it being my first runway,” said Bryant. “Meeting her definitely helped settle any nerves.”

Along with encouragement from Versace, Bryant also received motivational words from the model she draws the most inspiration from, supermodel Naomi Campbell. “She encourages me to have my own walk and establish my own way of doing things,” revealed Bryant.

She added, “I’ve always loved watching videos of Naomi walking down the runway along with videos of other iconic supermodels I look up to. My mom says, ‘Walk like Naomi but remember to be yourself, put your own style to your walk and always with your head held high.’ ”
