The costume designer for The Notebook has spoken out in response to Vanessa Bryants emotional eulogy for her late husband, Kobe Bryant, revealing that the NBA legend had to have been very determined in order to gift his wife items from the films set.

Earlier this week, Vanessa spoke during a special memorial ceremony hosted by the Los Angeles Lakers and the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. She honored Kobe and her daughter, Gianna, who both died last month in a tragic helicopter crash, with a heartfelt speech describing the pairs legacies.

In one anecdote Vanessa shared about Kobe, she said that he gifted her the blue dress Rachel McAdams character, Allie Hamilton, wears in the 2004 film, as well as the prop notebook. (Vanessa shared images of the dress in an Instagram post from 2013.)
