Jessica Simpson’s recent appearance has sparked concern among her circle of friends, who are alarmed by her noticeably slimmer figure.

The 42-year-old singer, standing at 5’3″, was nearly unrecognizable during a public outing in New York City, causing distress among those close to her.

It has been more than three years since Simpson shed 100 pounds following the birth of her third child, daughter Birdie.

Despite this significant weight loss milestone, she continues to diminish in size, appearing thinner than ever as she was captured leaving the airport.

In images shared on her Instagram account, the former Dukes of Hazzard star proudly displayed her shrinking physique in form-fitting leather pants, a snug black bodysuit, and a striking green cropped jacket that accentuated her slender waistline.

The front-tied pants further emphasized her long-lost hourglass shape, while she accessorized with multiple necklaces, oversized aviator sunglasses, and towering platform boots that seemed challenging to walk in comfortably.

Posing alongside her husband, Eric Johnson, in a selfie, Simpson exuded confidence and appeared at ease with her appearance, seemingly unfazed by the negative feedback she has received.

Despite her outward confidence, concerns from her inner circle persist.

Friends of the singer have expressed deep worry about her intense focus on weight loss, noting the drastic changes in her physical appearance.

According to one friend, “Her clothes no longer fit properly, and her face looks gaunt.

She is almost unrecognizable from her former self.

Jessica has always had a naturally curvy figure, and seeing her so thin is troubling.”

In addition to her friends’ apprehensions, fans on social media have also voiced their unease regarding Simpson’s transformation.

Nevertheless, Simpson remains resolute in her stance, stating that she is content with her new body shape.

Addressing the criticism she has faced, Simpson remarked, “I’ve encountered judgment, which has been hurtful, but I have embraced my body at every size.

Recognizing that my weight will always be a topic of discussion, I decided to leverage it by creating a business centered around selling clothing and promoting self-acceptance.”
