Gia Giudice has grown up right before our eyes on the small screen!

From her 12th birthday, to her singing debut and red carpet moments — take a look back at Gia’s major milestones through the years!

She even accessorized with silver hoop earrings!

Christmas Day in 2014 was a special one for Gia, along with her besties Alexa Maetta and Cristianna Cardinale.

Fast forward two years later, where Gia attended a wedding on March 15, 2016. She shared this cute photo with one of her gal pals, Miranda, that showed the pair in identical black dresses.

If there’s one thing RHONJ viewers have learned from watching the Giudice family, it’s that Teresa loves to take her daughters to concerts. From meet and greets with Fetty Wap and more stars, Tre loves to give her girls the VIP treatment. And, 2018’s annual Jingle Ball was no exception. Teresa, Gia and Milania Giudice all attended Z100’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball concert at Madison Square Garden on December 7th that year. Talk about an epic early Christmas present!

This particular photo marked a major milestone for Gia, as it was the first time she revealed her plastic surgery. “Yes I got a nose job,” Gia captioned a photo, alongside her mother, Teresa on July 17, 2020. “Yes I’m swollen,” she admitted without shame, before thanking her doctor, Geoffrey Tobias, a New York City-based rhinoplasty specialist. “I’m absolutely in love with it,” Gia continued, declaring, “I am an adult now. This has been an insecurity of mine for a while and I’ve never been happier and so comfortable in my own skin!!” Dr. Tobias also shared Gia’s photo to his Instagram page, which contains more photos of his patients after surgery. That same month, Gia also revealed her new boyfriend, Christian Carmichael.
