Jessica Simpson turned 43-years-old on Monday.

The Dukes Of Hazzard actress shared a close up photo on Instagram as she celebrated her big day.

’43 makeup free (kinda. Ha. I did curl my lashes),’ the clothing designer wrote in her Instagram caption for her 6.3million followers.

She wrote ‘kinda’ because it appeared as if she had plenty of makeup, like foundation and lip gloss.

Her hair was pulled back which was a different look for the former reality TV star as she often wears her long blonde locks down over her shoulders in soft waves.

Her fans loved the look and some celebrities chimed in.

Kelly Rowland shared, ‘HAPPY BORNDAY JESSICA!’ 

Rachel Zoe added, ‘Hbd Jess! We are finally the same age!’ 

She received 50,000 likes in one hour. 

Simpson looked vibrant in the new post. Her makeup was minimal and her hair pulled back, but there was more to this glowing photo.

The Public Affair singer had a magenta scarf around her neck and added large hoop earrings and a necklace with five pointy diamonds.

The five likely represents her, husband Eric Johnson and their three kids: Maxwell, Knute and Birdie.

She reclaimed her fashion label The Jessica Simpson Collection in 2021 after a lengthy battle to wrestle back control.

The company was founded in 2005 and then Sequential Brands bought a major stake in the business in 2015, before filing for bankruptcy in August 2021.

Before Sequential imploded financially, Jessica and her mom Tina stepped in to save her brand – which, in 2015, reached sales of $1 billion.

Sequential purchased a majority stake in the brand at the time for $353 million, with Jessica and Tina retaining a 37 percent share of the business. They brought back the remainder for $54 million in summer of 2021, with Jessica putting her $11.5million mansion up as collateral.

In an interview with Bustle, Jessica said: ‘[Sequential was] headed to bankruptcy. I wanted to make sure we did not get caught up in all that.

Tina – who divorced Jessica’s dad Joe in April 2013 – added: ‘Honestly, she did reach out to me to borrow money. And I said to her, ‘Yeah, let’s talk about it.’

‘In buying the brand back, I told her, if you’re sure you want to do this, you’re just going to have to tighten up your belt a little bit.

‘You’re going to have to not live not quite as extravagantly.’

In May 2022, The Jessica Simpson Collection secured a $67.5 million loan from Second Avenue Capital Partners, which will allow the mother/daughter team to invest money back into their company, and they now have plans to launch a hair-care extension in 2024.

The slim beauty also denied she used Ozempic to get thin. She said she lost 100lbs all on her own after welcoming her third child with husband Eric Johnson. 

The former reality TV star insisted that it is simply ‘willpower’ and shunning alcohol that has resulted in her thin and toned figure.

Also in her Bustle interview, the 42-year-old Dukes Of Hazzard actress seemed to take a swipe at ex-husband Nick Lachey, whom she did her TV show Newlweds with.

And she also laughed – but did not deny – that Mark Wahlberg was the big ‘movie star’ that treated her like a ‘call girl.’

 

Jessica looked like a pinup in her photo shoot by Daniella Midenge.

She showed off her slender frame in several silky outfits as she wore her white blonde hair down.

But the real draw of the feature was her frankness during her interview with Mickey Rapkin. 

As far as the weight loss drug Ozempic is concerned, she made it very clear she is not on it.

‘Oh Lord. I mean, it is not’ — Ozempic, she means — ‘it’s willpower. I’m like, do people want me to be drinking again? Because that’s when I was heavier. Or they want me to be having another baby? My body can’t do it.’

She has been every size from 0 to 12 (which was when she was pregnant).

‘I am fortunate to have been every size,’ she said. ‘For [my] brand, understanding the women [who buy our products], and for my psyche.’ 

Her Bustle interview was gold! As far as the weight loss drug Ozempic is concerned, she made it very clear she is not on it. 'Oh Lord. I mean, it is not' ¿ Ozempic, she means ¿ 'it's willpower. I'm like, do people want me to be drinking again? Because that's when I was heavier. Or they want me to be having another baby? My body can't do it.' Seenw ith Eric in June

People making comments about her looks ‘hurts,’ she told the outlet.

‘Am I going to let the negativity derail me? No, I’m too old for that. I am too connected to myself right now to let that derail me. It doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt,’ she said.

The former reality star admitted in 2019 that she lost 100lbs nearly six months after giving birth to her third daughter, Birdie. 

She followed a meal plan and walked 14,000 steps per day with help from celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. 

‘6 months. 100 pounds down (Yes, I tipped the scales at 240),’ she wrote on Instagram when revealing her weight loss. 

Simpson told Hoda Kotb during an appearance on the Today Show in 2021 that she never weighs herself anymore, doesn’t own a scale and follows her intuition with how she feels when picking out her clothes. ‘I have no idea how much I weigh,’ she said. ‘Like, I just want to feel good and be able to zip my pants up.’
