Denise Richards' Daughter Sam Looks So Grown Up in Her 17th Birthday Photos

It feels like just yesterday we were waxing poetic about Denise Richards' stunning teenage daughter, Sam (whom she shares with actor Charlie Sheen), and her brightly-hued, blue hair. But, alas, it's exactly one year later and we can't quite get over just how grown up the California beauty looks — and we aren't alone. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum took to Instagram to share a series of glowing pics of her 17-year-old daughter and she's still processing it all. 

"Can’t believe my beautiful baby girl is 17!!!!" Denise wrote in her caption on March 9 with several, sun-kissed photos of her daughter in trendy 'fits. "Time flies by so fast, so amazed the beautiful young woman you’ve become." In the pics, Sam posed in a bold, pink sweatshirt with matching eye shadow and a bright lip shade along with a few makeup-free shots in a hoodie. 

"Although a part of me would give anything to have those years back when you were little," Denise continued. "I cherish those precious moments. I love you so much Sami girl. I’m so proud of you. You’re beyond beautiful inside and out and so compassionate. I love you my Sami."
