Antonia Gorga sizzles in a skintight dress for her 17th birthday!
The daughter of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars Melissa and Joe Gorga took to her Instagram page and posted several pictures herself from her birthday celebration.
Gorgeous In Brown
Antonia rocked a brown leather dress that clung to her every curve. The garment had a plunging neckline that was quite daring and revealed an ample amount of her décolletage. It had narrow straps that clung to her shoulders, accentuating her slender arms. The piece's tight fit emphasized her curves and her hourglass silhouette. Its hem sat on her upper thighs, allowing the teenager to put on a leggy display.
Antonia clearly felt comfortable in the ensemble as she worked the camera. She completed her look with white sandals with clear straps and heels.
All Grown Up
For accessories, Antonia opted for a gold chain necklace and bangles. She had her nails painted with white polish, which popped against her flawless complexion.
Antonia had her black hair styled straight with soft curls along the ends. She also accessorized with an "It's My Birthday" headband.
Looking Like Twins
Antonia had her birthday at the TAO Downtown Restaurant in New York City. The photos showed the celebrant striking poses -- solo, with her reality star mom, and with her guests.
Melissa wore a sparkly tan top with a low-cut neckline and thin straps. She paired the upper garment with white pants that highlighted her fit figure.
A Sweet Message
The mother of three made a sweet tribute to her only daughter on social media. She uploaded three photos of Antonio and captioned the share, "And just like that she’s 17!!🎉 @antoniagorgaa you deserve every gift we give you. Thank you for making us proud every day and being such a sweet and kind girl❤️ #livelifebaby We love you!!"
Doting Dad
Dad Joe also took the occasion to post about his not-so-little girl.
"A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she will never your heart. happy birthday @antoniagorgaa #daughter," he wrote in the caption of his post, which consisted of videos.
Is Melissa Gorga Leaving The Show?
The celebration came after rumors of Melissa leaving "RHONJ" blew up online. Although, she clarified the issue on Instagram.
"People are taking pieces from my podcast and assuming I'm leaving the show," she wrote in an Instagram Story as seen on People. "'This is how rumors get started.' I never said I was leaving the show. I was just clarifying how I felt after a difficult weekend."
Melissa added that she and her husband Joe "have no plans of leaving" the Bravo series.
Falling Out With Teresa Giudice
In the latest episode of the "Melissa Gorga On Display" podcast," the housewife talked about why she and Joe decided not to attend Teresa Giudice's wedding.
"I will let all my listeners know this: obviously, there was something that went down at the [season 13] finale of filming The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Those exact details I obviously cannot say today. Anything that we have filmed is something that I am not able to talk about," she said. "I'm not going to sit here and say that there wasn't drama, that it wasn't crazy. Yes, there was a little aggression from certain people that could've been a little scary."
She noted that it would have been "strange" to attend the ceremony due to the fallout.
