EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY: Fans of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' have praised Melissa Gorga's daughter Antonia on social media. Antonia received praise on social media for the outfit she wore to her recent 18th birthday celebration.
Melissa rewinded the clock as her oldest child, Antonia, reached another significant milestone. On Saturday, Aug. 12, the 'RHONJ' parent turned to Instagram to deliver a poignant message in honor of her daughter's 18th birthday. The post included dozens of vintage images and videos that traced Antonia's life, starting with her baby days and ending with her high school graduation. "I simply can’t believe you’re 18. I’m gonna cry all day," Melissa said in the caption.

Antonia and her mother, 'RHONJ' star Melissa, both turned to Instagram to post various photos from Antonia's big day. Antonia's Instagram slide presentation was just to show off how beautiful she looked in her pale pink bandeau mini-dress. Her golden tan looked stunning against her pastel-colored attire. The large chest of the young adult was pushed up in the tight-fitting garment, practically spilling out.
Antonia's toned legs were highlighted by the plastic high-heels she wore with her outfit. Meanwhile, there was a lone photograph of Melissa smiling in front of her bright pink birthday cake in Melissa's photo dump from her daughter's birthday event. There were also photos of Antonia smiling with her brothers, Gino and Joey. Along with a lovely family portrait of Antonio, her siblings, and her married parents, Joe Gorga and Melissa.
Antonia's long dark hair, split down the middle with curls at the ends, deep tan, and short clothing gave her the appearance of a younger version of her mother. Melissa and Antonia both got their hair and makeup done in the same way.
