Heather Locklear was not the only proud parent when daughter Ava Sambora hit the runway in a recent fashion show! “My daughter’s beautiful, she’s gregarious, she’s funny, she’s smart. I’m beyond proud,” proud papa Ritchie Sambora gushed to People magazine backstage, about his daughter’s modeling debut!

Ava Sambora, the 13-year-old daughter of Heather Locklear and [lastfm]Bon Jovi[/lastfm]‘s Richie Sambora, has definitely inherited her parents good looks.  The teenager turned heads on Sunday when she walked the runway to model the new collection for Sambora’s fashion line White Trash Beautiful. Ava looked right at home on the catwalk in leather shorts and a tie-dyed crop top as her ‘Mama Heather’ watched from the front row. The 13-year-old also looked every bit the mature model when she arrived on the red carpet wearing head-to-toe black with light, shimmering makeup. The resemblance between mother & daughter is undeniable!

Do you have a ‘look-alike’ kid? And is it a blessing or curse?
