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?

She’s hiding. She knows that she used Nick…married him for the publicity and the Newlyweds show; dumped him when she thought she didn’t need him anymore. Proof: how can one be so “christian” with minister father to wait for marriage for sex but then TOTALLY disregard christian beliefs about divorce AND not even attempt counseling. She’s a user. Now that her album is a flop; she’s made aware that she has no acting talent..her career is headed down. Jess was cute when she was with Nick; alone she’s just mediocre. She tried to boost herself by using Mayer but Mayer called her on it. She’s in black because she’s ashamed…at least she should be.

Jen

I don’t think she’s feeling gloomy – I think she’s feeling fat. Note that I am not saying she is fat, just that she’s been getting some publicity lately for not being as slim and trim as she one was. And she doesn’t look as good since Nick left.

Darla

No matter what she wears, it looks great.

Carol Mariane

With the long black dess or skirt, 3/4 length coat and ankle boots, she looks more mature and quite sophisticated.
I don’t like the colour black, period, but on her it looks really good.
She doesn’t look like an adult woman when she wear little-girl dresses and short shorts…all that “Daisy Duke” stuff.

Sarah

It doesn’t matter what Jessica, or any other celebrity, wears, someone is going to say that they are having problems. For example, they might say that she’s gaining weight or is having a “sad” time right now. MAN!!!! Let her where what she wants to wear!!It is none of anyone else’s business! And to the people who judge her by her clothes, you probably couldn’t look that good in them yourselves!! Leave people alone!

Katherine

I think that Jessica’s look is gloomy, and nothing else. She lost a husband, but gained some weight, hence the black.

CAMP

JESS LOOKS HOT NO MATTER WHAT SHE IS WEARIN, HOW HER HAIR IS, AND WITH OR W/O MAKE-UP! THATS WHAT YOU CALL BEAUTIFUL!!!

Lexi

I think she’s wearing black because she looks good in it, not because of her mood or to hide weight, not that I think she’s gained weight any way. She’s beautiful and it’s all about the angel of the picture taken that can make you look heavier than you are!

April

Well, i’d have to agree with the person who was saying that she is hiding her weight gain. It does seem to me that she has gained a little weight and black IS a good way to hide any unwanted curves! Trust me! I do miss her querky sense of style from The Newlyweds, she always looked fun and bright, now all the black is too much.

Hannah

Anyone who has followed Jessica’s career knows how much she idolizes Angelina Jolie. She has talked about adopting and she has started wearing black, just like her idol.
