Pink lady: Ava Sambora looks dressed to impress at her belated 13th birthday party thrown by her dad Richie Sambora this weekendWith her flowing blond hair, endless long legs and grown up pink mini dress, she looks more like a 16-year-old than a girl barely into her teens.
But believe it or not, Ava Sambora was celebrating her 13th birthday this weekend with her dad holding a dream party for his only daughter.
Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora hired two stretch hummer limousines for Ava and 20 of her friends for the bash, held in Los Angeles.
And Ava, who is currently carving out a career as a model, looked very much like a younger version of her actress mother Heather Locklear.
However, Locklear was unable to make her daughter's party as she was busy filming forthcoming Lifetime movie He Loves Me in Canada.
The smiling teen, who celebrated her actual birthday a few weeks ago on October 4, looked like she was having a great time as she greeted and hugged her friends.

Hugging it out: Ava shares an embrace with a friend on the big dayAnd the teen was seen out again with her proud dad the following day when she attended Variety's Annual Power of Youth event in Los Angeles.
The pair have made something of a habit of appearing at events together, with Ava modelling at the catwalk show for Sambora's fashion line White Trash Beautiful last week.
'My daughter’s beautiful, she’s gregarious, she’s funny, she’s smart. I’m beyond proud,' the 51-year-old rocker told People before the show.
Daddy's girl: Ava stepped out with her dad Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora at Variety's Annual Power of Youth event in Los Angeles on SundayAnd we could be seeing a lot more of Ava if she ends up following in the footsteps of one of her famous teen heroines.
'I really love Miley Cyrus,' she said. 'It’s just everything about her—I would really love to act with her. She’s like my biggest role model–besides my dad.'
But Ava revealed she is also a fan of another well known teenage heart throb -Justin Bieber.
'I met him once at the Grammy’s and I was like about to cry,' she admitted. 'I love him so much.'
Just like sisters: Ava is as tall as her actress mother Heather Locklear on the red carpet of the WTB fashion show in Los Angeles last week.
