Jessica Simpson Sparks Pity In Sheer Glitter Dress

Jessica Simpson looked stunning as she slipped her curves into a glitzy sheer dress last fall, but her attendance at the Footwear News’ 2023 Achievement Awards sparked concern. When Just Jared shared red carpet photos of the 43-year-old enjoying her night out, fans were quick to comment, suggesting that Jessica doesn't look quite right, with some even worried for her wellbeing. As remarks poured in and many expressed pity for the clothing designer, some were of the opinion that Jessica was being shamed — in short, the comments section is now a mix of "what happened" comments and people saying leave her alone.

Scroll for the photo. Flaunting her plump pout as she dolled herself up and went slinky in a silvery gown, Jessica struck a waist-flaunting pose as she stood with one hand to her hip while showing off her enviable figure. Rocking a sleeveless, largely see-through dress with a high neckline, the mom of three flashed her cleavage as silver studding around her chest accentuated her curves, with the bejeweled detailing throughout making her sparkle from head to toe.

Highlighting the 100 pounds she lost in 2019, Jessica stuck to her favorite figure-hugging finish, also flaunting her gym-honed arms and shoulders as she rocked her blonde locks down. The night was a huge success for Simpson, who walked away with the Icon Award for launching "one of fashion’s longest-running success stories." That said, users seeing the photos seemed less interested in her big win and glam dress and more set on criticizing her appearance.

Over 40 fans liked a comment reading: "She’s always been a beautiful woman. Her drastic weight fluctuations really did a number on her face, unfortunately." Another said that Jessica "was stunning," adding that the status quo is "sad." Agreeing, a separate user replied: "She used to be naturally beautiful." Over on Jessica's Instagram, fans continue to allege that the singer has had work done to her face, often making a beeline for her lips as they slam her.

The above selfie showed Jessica looking happy as she enjoyed a Spring Break vacation in Mexico this year, but it seemed the perfect launchpad for her fans to tear her apart.

Referencing ex-husband Nick Lachey, one fan said: "Back when she was married to Nick and had her own tv show she was absolute beauty perfection. So gorgeous. This doesn’t even look like her." Over 800 fans liked a reply reading: "Jessica was/is a beautiful woman. Her incredibly beautiful genetics are displayed in her children. Why does this world make beautiful women feel like they have to do this to themselves?" Simpson generally ignores the trolls.

The Footwear News bash made headlines for seeing Simpson speak out after her Icon win. In a gushing statement, the star said: “The fact that Footwear News is bestowing that title on this gal from Texas helps to illuminate the path ahead.”
