Jessica Simpson has been making waves with a new look and hints of a long-awaited musical comeback. In a recent Instagram post, the singer shared a glamorous photo seated beside musical equipment, wearing a striking ensemble: a white romper featuring a black fishnet midriff, paired with matching black fishnets and platform boots.
In the caption, Simpson expressed excitement for her upcoming music, writing, “I can’t wait for y’all to hear the soundtrack of my soul.”
While some commenters praised her appearance with remarks like, “Irresistible 2.0,” referencing her 2001 hit, others were less kind, questioning her transformation. Still, many came to her defense, with one fan stating, “I don’t understand why people feel the need to be so mean. She is talented and beautiful and not giving up on life. Lift people up; it’s so much healthier.”
This marks the second recent teaser of new music from Simpson. In mid-November, she shared another bold look, donning a white dress, black furry coat, and patent platform boots, alongside a reflective caption:
Jessica Simpson, who has not released an album since her 2010 holiday record Happy Christmas, took a step back from music to focus on her fashion empire, the Jessica Simpson Collection, launched in 2005.
Her 2020 memoir, Open Book, offered a raw glimpse into her challenges in the music industry. At just 17 years old, producer Tommy Mottola reportedly pressured her to lose weight, leading her to rely on diet pills for two decades.
In recent years, Simpson has opened up about body image struggles. In 2022, she revealed that she had gained and lost 100 pounds three times, the most recent being after her third child, Birdie, was born in 2019.
She made headlines for throwing away her scale, focusing on how she feels rather than her weight. Despite this shift, Simpson has faced public scrutiny over her appearance, with some speculating about the use of Ozempic. She dismissed the claims, crediting her transformation to willpower.
Since achieving sobriety in 2017, Simpson has spoken about its positive impact on her life. She reflected on her journey, sharing that her decision to quit drinking brought clarity and self-acceptance. Celebrating six years of sobriety, Simpson revealed in a 2021 post that her struggles stemmed from deeper issues of self-worth and acceptance rather than alcohol itself.
