Jessica Simpson's cow-print bikini may still be making waves, but the 40-year-old singer and actress' headline-making "YEE-HAW" shoot didn't just include the swimwear snaps landing on her feed as she kissed her 30s goodbye. Jessica's photographer Kristin Burns has been sharing largely unseen images of the "Dukes of Hazzard" star on that sun-drenched beach – as The Blast reported on July 14, Jessica was shot topless in nothing but tight jeans.

It's 2020, Jessica is now 100 pounds down, her memoir sales have spiked amid the pandemic, and she's looking like the bombshell she always was. That said, Simpson's birthday selfie did see fans dubbing her "way too skinny."

Jessica marked turning 40 in a 14-year-old pair of True Religion jeans. The selfie showed the 100 pounds Jessica dropped after welcoming third baby Birdie Mae in March 2019 – while "Mad Men" actress January Jones told Jessica she looked "about 15," other comments were less flattering.
Instagram is now worrying that Jessica has taken her weight loss too far. "Way too skinny" was one comment, with Jessica also being told she was "skin and bones."
"Girl, you are vanishing," a third wrote as they added that Jessica was "absolutely stunning when you were bigger." More below.

Remarks did not troll Simpson, who herself made body-shaming headlines earlier this year as a Vogue ex-staffer covered "breasts that fell out of her dress" at the 2007 Met Gala. One fan expressed concern, writing:
"This is the look of anorexia. Not hating! I love u Jessica! But-I’ve had it. Been through it. I know this look. It feels powerful. And it kills the beating heart."
Jessica walked up to 10,000 steps a day to lose the weight. Scroll for the diet she followed.
