KEY POINTS

  • Teresa Giudice shared a rare selfie of her daughter Gabriella
  • The 18-year-old looked stunning in full-glam makeup in the snap
  • Fans did not recognize her because she rarely had heavy makeup on

Teresa and Joe Giudice’s elusive daughter Gabriella turned heads and raised eyebrows after her mom shared her new selfie online.

On Wednesday, the 50-year-old reality star took to Instagram to upload a rare snap of her 18-year-old daughter, who hardly makes public appearances outside of “Real Housewives of New Jersey.”

In the photo, Gabriella ditched her typical makeup-free look for full glam and rocked a green strapless, corset-style dress. She accessorized with a pair of sparkly drop earrings.

“My beautiful Gabriella [red heart emoji],” Teresa captioned the post.

Her ex-husband, Joe, also complimented their daughter, stating, “So beautiful and beautiful.”

Fans had mixed reactions to the post. Many raved about Gabriella’s stunning look, while others said that the teen looked unrecognizable in the snap.

“Absolutely stunning… and I’m certain on the inside too,” one wrote.

“Wow, she looks so different [yet] so beautiful,” another commented.

“She is naturally pretty. That mask of makeup ruins it. I am not against makeup, but it is too much,” a different netizen opined.

“Doesn’t look like her, [I] would have never guessed,” a fourth user commented.

The snap that Teresa shared this week was actually taken earlier this month when Gabriella attended her prom. Her mom’s longtime makeup artist Priscilla DiStasio showed off Gabriella’s full look on her Instagram, saying she looked just like Teresa.

In May, the “RHONJ” star revealed to Bravo’s “The Daily Dish” that her second daughter will be graduating from high school next year, so she’s busy preparing for the next chapter in her life.

“So, like, I can’t wait to see what college she goes to, because she is my smartest kid. I can’t wait to start looking at colleges with her and see where she ends up,” Teresa told the outlet.

The TV personality continued, “[Gabriella] does amazing at school. She’s so smart. [I] get letters from all the teachers all the time saying how amazing she is.”

Aside from Gabriella, the former husband and wife also co-parent their three other daughters, Gia, 21, Milania, 16, and Audriana, 13.
