Antonia Gorga recently made a major hair transformation that shocked her dad, Joe Gorga. The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter is so close to her parents, but isn’t afraid to keep them on their toes every once in a while.
Antonia took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, July 21, where she showed off her new, bright blonde (temporary) hair. In the photo, Melissa Gorga’s daughter can be seen rocking long blonde extensions parted down the middle and placed on top of her own dark tresses, which she admitted were not there to stay for long. “Fake blonde hair prank on my dad,” she wrote over the photo.
While this transformation was only temporary for the RHONJ daughter to “prank” her dad, she really shocked him. Antonia snapped a photo of Joe reacting to her hair transformation, having a major shocked expression on his face while he held up his phone to his ear and stared straight into the camera. “His reaction,” she wrote over the image. “HE LOOKED LIKE HE SAW A GHOST.”

This isn’t the first time that Antonia has shocked Joe by transforming her hair. In February 2025, Joe took to his Instagram Story, where he revealed that he was shocked when Antonia called him over FaceTime by sporting a bright pink bob with curtain bangs.
In the photos, Antonia can be seen rocking a pink bob along with her friend, while Joe appeared in the corner of the call looking outraged by her look. “Look at my face. WTF,” he wrote over one photo. “What is going on,” he added.

Antonia Gorga opens up about her nose job
Antonia recently made a major, permanent transformation when she announced in June 2026 that she got a rhinoplasty. Antonia took to Instagram on June 11, where she revealed that she had been wanting to get her nose done since she was “at least 15 years old.” “This is something I’ve wanted to do for such a long time, and I’m so happy I finally decided to go through with it,” she wrote in the caption of the post.
She more recently took to Instagram on July 15, where she posted a video holding photos of herself before her transformation. “You can already tell it’s much straighter and it’s smaller,” she said of her new nose.
But she still has so much further to go with her transformation, as it will take almost a full year for the swelling to go down. “Still have 11 months to go and can’t wait to see my final results,” she wrote in the caption of the post.
