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

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 don’t like it at all. And I think it’s her stylist that’s making her wear all black, or maybe it’s the current “trend” of Hollywood. That and the short hair…. it’s all part of getting publicity for why she’s wearing all black, and it seems to be working. Anyway, I hate the all black look. And it’s ridiculous to wear all that stuff in 78 degree weather!!!!

I think she looks great. She has constant media attention and scrutiny over her body and looks. If I were her, I’d try and cover up when I went out too! Who wants that kind of pressure to be super skinny and toned ALL the time. If she feels good in what she is wearing (and I think she should!) then so be it. For someone who has been through a lot over the past year, she always seems to have a smile on her face and a good attitude towards the media. Good for her.

Betsy Ayala

I think it’s an image thing. She was voted most overexposed hollywood star and she’s got a rep for being kind of ditsy and barbie like.. I think she wants the public to take her seriously since no one is really buying her album or going to her movies. This is totally an image overhaul by her publicist.

Lisa

I think she looks beautiful in anything she wears and I think all of you that are nasty to her are jealous and have nothing better to do then pick at other people. Get a life.

cindy

I think she is growing up in her taste some however Ireally dont like her shorter hair style it makes her look alot older.

Shelley

Who says she has gained weight, she looks the same to me?! No wonder we girls are driven to eating disorders! I think she looks great no matter what she does because she is young and having fun with fashion. If I had her money I’d do the same.

Tania

I think she is wearing black because it’s october and she is sad because the 26th is comming up and thats when she got married.>!!!

jessica

wearingall black doesnt make you gothic, anyway i have to agree with you maybe she gained a litle weight but i personaly cant tell. As much as i dont like her i do think she looks fine.

Kari

The black has got to go. It doesn’t suit her at all. And the pieces themselves aren’t even that impressive/flattering. I think she can do better.
