Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi cannot stop fawning over her daughter!
The proud mama ensured that she shared multiple views of Giovanna as she made waves on the runway at New York Fashion Week. The heartwarming content not only featured the moment the adorable girl stepped on the big stage, but it also got fans gushing about her beauty and poise.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi & THIS Superstar's Daughters Teamed Up For The NYFW Show
Polizzi ensured that she was in the front town when Giovanna stepped on the runway at the 13th Annual Rookie USA Fashion Show on Thursday. The doting alum of "Jersey Shore" promptly shared a collection of photos and videos on her Instagram feed showcasing the eight-year-old in her element.
The carousel began with a shot of the mother-daughter duo posing in close proximity on the event's red carpet. While the reality star paired a long black jacket with a nude top, a micro mini skirt, and black wedges, her baby girl wore a sleeveless blue jean jacket over a purple top, baggy black bottoms, and a pair of black sneakers with white soles.
The star of the show beamed at the camera as her mother stood behind her, placing both hands on her shoulders. The first view at the main event came in the next slide, which showed Giovanna laughing as she held the hand of another child model — former Pussycat Dolls member Carmit Bachar's daughter, Keala Rose.
The girls, who both donned Nike sneakers, are seen making their entrance in the third slide to the delight of Giovanna's mom and other onlookers. They reappeared in a second video wearing a matching combo jean jacket, a colored shirt, and jean bottoms.
Other images featured Polizzi posing with her friends, "Real Housewives of New Jersey" alum Traci Johnson and Bachar, at the star-studded event. Beneath the slides, the "Snooki & Jwoww" star enthusiastically penned:
"So proud of my beautiful baby girl! You can do it all my baby! ✨ (you can totally tell I'm a cheer mom with me yelling)."
Responding to the sweet post, Bachar typed in the comment section, "So fun sitting next to each other [s]creaming for our baby girls!! They rocked." A fan also commented, "Literally your twin she's so adorbs," and another chimed, "I can't believe how tall she is, looks just like you❤️Beautiful 🥰🥰."
"Beautiful like mother like daughter," a third netizen praised, as a fourth added, "She is the best, so cute. And of course a great cheerleader." Others simply opened up about their appreciation for her continued involvement in "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation."
When Polizzi first agreed to star in "Jersey Shore," she could never have anticipated the amount of attention she would garner from it. In fact, fans have become so obsessed with her that they have remained hungry for more of the MTV reality show more than a decade later.
The media personality addressed her stay on the hit series when she informed TODAY, "It's definitely been a crazy ride, but I feel like it's because of the fans. They're so invested."
The 'Messyness' Host Opened Up About Her Weight Issues Recently
Aside from her being grateful to her fans for their prolonged support, the 35-year-old has often spoken about some of her "more human" struggles. As The Blast reported in July, she uploaded a video to TikTok where she candidly talked about her struggles with her weight.
Kicking off the clip, she mentioned that her kids were getting ready for bed then delved into the topic, stating, "I just wanted to make this video to talk about this because I know it's an issue for a lot of people. Men, women, everybody, it's an issue. And it's called weight."
She shared her lifelong struggle with weight, recalling a time in high school when she was "not eating, underweight, and had no energy." Even though she achieved the size zero jeans she had desired then, the mother of three admitted that true happiness eluded her.
The challenge continued throughout high school and it was not until she clocked 21 that she finally allowed herself to indulge in the sweet things of life without worrying about calories. To that, she said:
"I feel like I was always confident in my skin no matter my size. I could be a size zero, size five, or size eight, and I was like ok, because I'm confident, I know that I'm beautiful, I'm amazing no matter what size I am."
As expected, the honest monologue resulted in many people appreciating her even more, with many sharing their relatable experiences in the comments.
