Jessica Simpson Bares All: Makeup Secrets Behind Her Iconic Abs

In a recent appearance on the Today show, Jessica Simpson, the 45-year-old pop star, opened up about the secrets behind her iconic abs from the early 2000s. Admitting that she "didn't have any" natural abs, Simpson revealed that she "drew abs" on her stomach using a makeup pencil to achieve the taut, six-pack look.

Beyond her makeup confessions, Simpson also discussed her most memorable fashion moments from the Y2K era. She referenced the sultry outfit she wore in her "Irresistible" music video, where the top of her jeans was cut off and frayed to expose as much of her midsection as possible. The singer also shared that anything from the Juicy Couture brand was a go-to for her during that time, which she would dress up or down with designer heels.

In the candid interview, Simpson also dished on her favorite music videos, including "Angels," "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'," and "Public Affair," all of which hold a special place in her heart. When it comes to reality TV, the singer admitted that she has not watched the Real Housewives, The Traitors, or Love Island, but does enjoy America's Got Talent.

As Simpson navigates her newfound independence as a music artist, she expressed a sense of freedom, stating, "The only boundaries I set are the ones I give myself." This transformation comes after a tumultuous year, as Simpson and her estranged husband, Eric Johnson, announced their split in November 2024, with the singer focusing on what's best for their three children.
