Antonia and her mother 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 stood out stunningly against her pastel clothing. The teen's tight-fitting garment accentuated her hourglass figure. 

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.
