Vanessa and Natalia shared some cute moments on Instagram about her visit to the college campus. The reel features the two posings, laughing and singing as confetti falls upon them and music played by Marvin Gaye. The mother-daughter duo seemingly enjoyed the family-filled weekend with friends at different events.

Vanessa and Natalia seem to have a great time as they lip-sync and dance to “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and are sprayed with champagne in a crowd.

Bryant also shared a selfie of the two in the football stadium.

“1 Sorority and 3 Frats later….. Fight On @usc.fb ❤️ @nataliabryant ✌🏾 #ParentsWeekend,” she captioned the selfie of the two.

According to PEOPLE, in 2021, Bryant noted her late husband Kobe Bryant would be excited that Natalia was accepted to USC in her post celebrating her daughter’s college acceptance.

“I got in!,” Natalia said in the celebration acceptance video.

“Tears of joy,” Vanessa wrote. “I’m SO happy for you Nani! I know daddy is so PROUD OF YOU. I am so PROUD OF YOU!!”

“Your hard work and dedication was so worth it. You pushed through the most excruciating pain imaginable and you succeeded,” she added. “I wish Daddy and Gigi were physically here to celebrate but I know they’re here in spirit. We love you so much!.”

The sophomore started her college career at USC in 2021, majoring in film and shares a dorm room with Euphoria actor Storm Reid.

“I’m loving everything. I feel like this whole year flew by so fast. It was everything I expected and honestly more,” Natalia told ET of her experiences at USC back in March. “It was just everything, so I’m so happy to be with everybody that I like. I’ve just loved everyone that I’ve met.”

This stamps Bryant as a cool mom for sure in our eyes.
