In the meantime, Anja looked very grown up and also assumed a classic model pose on her own by lifting her right arm up and laying it on the back of her head.
The mother-daughter tandem also played with each other, puckering their lips but still keeping a few feet apart for a virtual kiss.
For the celebratory snaps, the birthday girl wore a turquoise, green and white mini dress with a backless design.
The teenager looked like the picture of summer fashion in the spaghetti strap dress that fell to about mid-thigh.
Her famous mother flaunted her supermodel skills in a deep blue, white and green patterned dress with a slit down one side that allowed her to be flirty and flaunt her long legs.
The stylish model is finished with layered sections, a plunging neckline and spaghetti straps.
Ambrosio also carried a two-tone brown handbag slung over one shoulder and her dark brown locks fell long and straight down the middle of her back with a center parting.
In one of her throwback pics, the Gal Floripa co-founder shared a photo of Anja as a toddler, along with a sweet comment.
