Jessica’s All-Black Look: Gloomy or Grown Up?

10/10/2006 at 12:21 PM ET

Is Jessica feeling gloomy? Or is she turning Goth? ‘Cause lately, our favorite bubbly blond has ditched her normally colorful and flirty wardrobe for black, black, and more black. From L.A. to New York to London, Jessica has been in head-to-toe-black — and we do mean that literally! In addition to embracing her darkside, she also seems more covered up. She headed out for the after-party for Employee of the Month (middle) in knee-high boots, black jeans, black turtleneck, and a Dior ski jacket — and the temperature outside was a warm 78 degrees! Is she trying to keep in step with fall’s more somber palette, or is this meant to look more mature and sophisticated? Tell us: what do you think of Jessica’s new all-black wardrobe? Dig it or ditch it?

I think it looks great. Black makes you look thinner.

In style or not, all those clothes were a bit much for 78 degree weather.

Fat?!? Seriously, where?!? Get a life losers. It is October, it is all about black! I don’t know why a ski jacket when its hot, maybe she gets cold in air conditioned buildings. People who have no fat get cold easy! ;-)

Who cares if she gained weight….why can’t people let this go. This is why some have complex issues, because there are people who scrutnize every single thing, about a persons body.

On another note…I love the first picture of her. I am one not to like ankle boots, but her outfit looks great. The middle picture with the ski jacket, well, that just looks like a little too much going on. I don’t know, the boots and skinny jeans and the jacket, it just looks like too much skin tight clothes on her body, and that jacket just looks too weird. The last photo, it’s so hard to tell. Personally, I don’t like it. Is that a black body suit she’s wearing? I don’t like the little foo-foo going on at the bottom of the pants, and I don’t like the black socks or the ankle boots. I guess it’s great that she’s wearing bra for support, but I don’t wanna see the outline of it. And I happen to like her short hair.

I think she’s trying to go into a sophistication mode and switch it up, and I just think she’s going about it the wrong way, she just can’t seem to find the classy and sexy side of her clothes, something that meets right in the middle. But I can respect her covering up and not having her boobs hanging over the top of her dress. Black is a great color, and you can make it look really fun and stylish. I’m saying all this, and I don’t really care for Jessica.

When did this opinion poll become an excuse to be positively nasty? Seriously, some of these comments are beyond vicious. Jessica Simpson fat? Puh-lease! I bet she’s tinier than 95% of the commenters here! And maybe her current album/movie haven’t been as successful as she’d like… at least she’s done them, how many people can say that? The truth is, she’s just trying to figure life out like the rest of us.
For the record, all-black isn’t my favorite look, but she’s lovely, regardless of what she’s wearing.

HOT HOT

micheleeee. on October 10th, 2006

wow.

Women are harsh. FAT?!

Jessica Simpson might have shoulders like a linebacker,
But she is anything BUT fat.

She is just trying to dress classier.

Give the girl a break!

Tyler on October 10th, 2006

Give the girl a break! Who cares what she or anyone else wears? She is just trying to live her life!

Oz on October 10th, 2006
