Natalia Bryant‘s all grown-up and leaving school behind for now … ’cause she just graduated from USC’s prestigious film department.

The daughter of Kobe and Vanessa Bryant walked across the stage in her cap and gown Saturday … and, dozens of photographers were on-hand for her special moment.

One caught her walking with her entourage back to her car with her mom … decked out in her all white gown and a bright red stole.

One of the onlookers congratulates her on her graduation … and, she thanks him before hopping into a white SUV.

While Natalia looks pretty stoked, ya best believe Vanessa’s just as jazzed — posting multiple photos of her daughter decked out in grad gear to her Instagram to honor her little girl growing up.

The two also took a celebratory selfie to mark the day … so, it seems Mama Bryant can’t get enough of commemorating the occasion

As you know … Kobe and Natalia’s younger sister, Gianna, passed away more than five years ago in a tragic helicopter crash — and, we’ve seen Natalia grow up a lot since, speaking publicly about how her dad inspired her to pursue film and moving forward despite the challenges.
