Shes gained, but personally i think it suits her, and she looks good!
I actually do not think she looks bad..this dress is beautiful on her. She is dressed well for her weight, and she is really pretty in these pictures.
Get serious. She looks beautiful. I think it’s disgusting that women are aspiring to look like skeletons, and it’s unhealthy for the mental health of young girls around the world.
That’s the whole point of the show she is promoting–INNER beauty. Perhaps we should be listening to this message….
i don’t think she’s gained too much weight. she still looks lovely! i know she’ll lose it soon. she’s tiny so a few pounds look like a lot.
Good for her. She’s clearly not meant to be rail-thin, and she looks beautiful and confident.
It looks like she is sucking her stomach in so badly in the first and third picture.
I sort of think the weight suits her, too.
No. I defenetly don’t think that it suits her..
i think the extra wieght looks natural on her, and for once shes not wearing something completely unflattering
I think she looks good. She doesn’t look as heavy when she has her chin up and her neck is elongated. Also if her chest was a bit smaller (flaunt what you’ve got) that would help too. Being a larger chested woman myself, we can be tiny but for some reason still look bigger than we actually are when we’re well endowed.
those arms need to lift a little weights to be toned up and look good, overall she’s okay!!!
All the weight seems to be in her upper body, especially her arms. Her bottom half still looks fairly small.
Rian-why did you say “These photos unfortunately show how much weight she has gained recently!”
If Jessica is happy as she says she was on Oprah last week-then who are we to say her weight gain is unfortunate? I personally like her thinner too but at least she isn’t starving herself to achieve the American standard of “beauty.”
She appears to be going in the wrong direction. . .
It amazes me that she claims to be a size 4-6 she looks like 6-8 regardless of how short she is.
Kim Kardashian is much smaller than Jessica.
Chubby arms and big chested.
I don’t like her dress either. Kinda matronly. It does nothing for her.
Like Bella E said: she looks much larger than she is because of her large breasts.
She’s definitely gained weight, but it wouldn’t look as drastic if she had a flatter chest.
Her face looks good at this weight — it hasn’t filled out too much, it just makes her look happier somehow — but her arms are kind of unfortunate. I’d prefer seeing those smaller/more toned.
I think she happens to have somewhat large arms–and photographs always makes somewhat large arms look a lot worse! I know, because I’ve got meaty arms myself, even though I’m otherwise pretty thin (5 foot 8, 135). I’ve always felt embarrassed by my arms–and I wish I didn’t. So when I see someone like Jessica, I just think, you know what, if she can feel confident about her body, maybe I can feel confident about mine! Let’s focus on the positive–she has a lovely waist, nice boobs,great calves and ankles, and an absolutely stunning face! Not bad at all!
Also–anyone think she’s about the same size as America Ferrera? Because, I do–and imagine how frickin adorable and curvy and toned Jessica would have looked if she had worn the same shape of dress as America (in the most recent post of her on this site)? She would have looked AMAZING! Jessica should take some fashion tips from America–America always accentuates the positive and she never looks beefy or bumpy.
I think she looks fabulous! Curvy and womanly. Absolutely beautiful. This weight suits her.
her face looks really pretty… not a fan of the dress tho
Those boobs are unfortunate! And now she has big arms to match.
Im not caring for the dress but honestly I think she is looking very va va va voom-ish! Its a good thing. If she wore a sexier dress she would have the same body type as Christina Hendricks.
Rian….can you post a picture of Christina from the Elton John Oscar party? She is wearing a black low cut dress and looks amazing!!!
@Leigh Bee, well said, I agree.
i find jessica attractive… and her attitude refreshing !
I don’t think you can compare Ferara and Jessica, they have completely different body types. America Ferara is much shorter/stockier and plumper. America has short stumpy legs where Jessica has longer/leaner legs. Plus America is much curvier with hips etc.
Her weight gain gives me panic attacks…
Well, ok, maybe she’s gained a little bit of weight recently, especially in her upper part, but she still looks healthy, natural and I don’t think she cares about it
I saw saw her interview and noticed how happy and go-lucky she is. She really is happy with her life so people should stop attacking her weight. Personally, if given the chance, I would hang out with her. She seems really nice and has a great laugh. Also I didn’t realize how small she is…compared to David Letterman, haha.
I can’t say it enough, she looks like such a mom now! So matronly! Jessica, you’re barely 30, not 45!!
And I the second picture, that wave is the most awkward and tense I’ve ever seen. All her poses are uncomfortable and self-conscious. Even if she wants to promote a healthy body image or whatever on her show, body language doesn’t lie. I doubt she has a healthy body image herself. Neither has she healthy eating and exercise habits.
gotta love spanx
she is such a pretty woman! I loved her really slim and fit a few years back, but she seems happy and deliciously curvy. It suits her. Not every woman has to be a stick! Heck, John Mayer said she was a fabulous bed romper.
Not sure about the dress, but it’s more flattering than some of the things we’ve seen her wear. She has always looked prettier than her sister, regardless of her weight.
P.S. She really has such an old hollywood sex appeal to her…all the right curves in all the right places…
I don’t think the weight suits her, and I usually love a woman with meat on her bones. It may be the dress shape, although the color is flattering.
To Stella’s point, Rian didn’t use the word “unfortunately” in her introduction, or at least it isn’t there now. That word would have changed the meaning of the sentence pretty dramatically. As it is, I don’t think the sentence is imbued with any criticism of JS that isn’t also directed at any celebrity on this site.
Jess, loose 20 pound you’re worth it
I agree with the comments about her breasts. If they weren’t so ginormous then she would look much thinner. Something tells me she’d rather keep the boobs and look heavier but sexier than lose them and much of her notoriety.
Wow, I think she looks lovely. Shiny hair! Gimme!
WOW…she gained soo much weight. I dont think she looks happy. Iam pretty sure she is miserable inside, and is a comfort eater. She use to be soo beautiful when she was married to Nick, I dunno what happened.
she looks great. she looks like a real woman. i myself am thinner than her, but i say that she looks like a “real” woman because this is what almost all women would look like if they weren’t obsessed with dieting and calories.
sadly though, we are, and therefore a lot of us are skinny.
i still wonder though, where the ridiculous obsession with being skinny came from. i guess it started with the media, just like every ridiculous trend, and women rapidly jumped on the bandwagon of saying its “hott”…
now all these poor delusional girls have mental disorders,
and even a lot of MEN have given in to the idea that the less body fat a woman has, the hotter she is–
even though women are naturally/genetically prone to higher body fat for child birth.
sad stuff. very very sad.
She looks beautiful!!!
I think she looks lovely, the dress is by L’Wren Scott lace pencil dress spring 2010, it suits her.
I just watched a clip from this online. It was AWFUL Dave was basically asking her all about the men who dumped her and it was painful to watch because she looked like this! I mean I know it is shallow but anyone knows you want to look your BEST when you run into your exes. This was just sad. And sorry but she is not “happy” at this weight as she claims to be. Every photo she looks self-conscious. Also the people claiming “she looks great” and “this suiter” my $$$ is guessing they are on the plumper side.
Now that “nude” makeup is so “in” I hate a make-upy look! Hate the BRIGHT lips.
She carries her weight well IMO. I think that most men will find her very attractive.
kelly clarkson alert!!
curvy and sexy!!!!
She doesnt look bad at this weight but WHY does she have to claim to be a 4/6. There is no way. Come on.
Her face will always be stunning, no matter how much weight she gains.
I liked her body better when it was thin. She looks too heavy in these pics :/
I know Jessica loves her mexican food and margaritas, but she’d look so much better if she dropped 10-15 pounds (at the most). I don’t know about other people, but I find that losing weight is a LOT harder than maintaining it. I eat almost anything I want, but in moderation. She should lose some and then enjoy her food without going overboard.
She looks cute and happy, her chest is HUGE.
she doesn’t look fat per se, but in the shot where she is waving she looks like a linebacker. very bulky and almost manly. i think the arms are the problem. they look short and being wide like that, makes for an unflattering combo.
She looks like a HULK. She needs to lose 10 lbs at least.
And she is NOT a 4-6. She is an 8-10.
I love that the first several comments were all positive about Jessica! She is beautiful and she should be proud of the way she looks. I have struggled with body image and eating disorders since I was a teen and I feel for anyone who gets criticized for their weight by the media/public. The arm thing is just the way her body is, they still look toned, just aren’t superskinny. You go Jessica! Be proud of your rockin’ bod!
She looks gorgeous.
hey! i think she lost!!!
Really, this girl just needs to be consistant. She’s such a yo-yo dieter, can’t be healthy.
She’s very cute. She might have gained a few but it doesn’t look bad on her. She’s not fat or unhealthy. She has a very womanly,curvy body which is attractive on her.
Such a good role model, I love her, she looks healthy and happy, many skinny girls would like to look that happy!
Clearly she’s holding her breath in these photos, and Spanxed within an inch of her life.
She looks very old hollywood at this size. I like it much better, and I’m sure no guys would complain.
It’s weird seeing her now after knowing what she used to look like, but objectively I think she looks great. If I saw her on the street I wouldn’t think twice about her size. Looks beautiful. She should try to get on Mad Men
.
It is not her weight – if she wants to be a curvy gal, fine. But she needs to wear clothes that flatter her fuller figure, not exacerbate the situation. Three quarter length sleeves and a deep V neckline are where she needs to start
I don´t think she is fat or something. she is pretty normal and average. she just has got really big breasts :-O :-O. it looks unnaturally. are they hers of are they fake? what´s wrong with them?
she looks beautiful! definitely better than the oscar pics. she looks much happier here.
this dress does not flatter her full figure at all- her boobs look like they are suffocating! The pattern and fit of this dress is horrible, she needs a better fitting, low cut dress. When she gains, it goes to her breasts and butt- something she is very lucky for and should show off
I do not think she looks good… she looks older… and I’d definitely try to lose weight if I was her
I think she looks really good. I’m not loving the dress, but it isn’t terrible. I like that she’s curvy. As a ‘chesty’ woman myself I agree they make you look heavier than you are, but I’d still rather have them than not.
She looks really pretty here. I think she looked better with shorter hair. I also like her as a brunette. She kind of reminds me of Jennifer Aniston in a way when it comes to her hair . . .she need a change. Both have such beautiful hair . . . do something different with it.
She looks good because she is a pretty girl and she has nice hair. But she has gained a lot and looked better before not when she was daisy duke skinny but when she was on the reality show. It makes me wonder is she going to maintain this weight now or put on more?
looking good Jessica. But she DOES look older. Like an old mom who’s supposed to be in the kitchen!
Wide load!
Jessica is beautiful but she definately would look better if she lost 15 lbs. Men find women the most attractive at a bmi of 21 (115 lbs for Jessica). Women are also the most fertile at a bmi of 21. Of couse it is still healthy to be a few pounds above or below but more weight does not = “healthier” just as less weight does not = “hotter”. There is nothing wrong with trying to better yourself (by eating healthy and exercising), in fact, I think that that is the best way to improve your self-esteem. If your car needed a tune-up it would be pretty crappy advice to accept how it is and don’t do anything to maintain it.
I don’t think she looks bad, but it’s worrisome to me that she is already this size, at such a young age. I’ve got a very similar body type to hers, almost identical, both in shape and stature. I just lost almost 30lbs because my weight had creeped up over the years, but I am 40. She is not huge, but knowing this body type intimately, I think that if she doesn’t change her lifestyle for a permanent basis soon, she will find herself with a major issue in 10 years.
Monica- how do you know she isn’t happy? Did she tell you? Your comment about anyone who thinks she looks great, etc. must be plump is one of the most ridiculous I’ve read. THIS THIN woman thinks she looks fine. It’s as ridiculous as saying that everyone who thinks she looks terrible & huge must be shaped like a sickly worm. Silly, huh?
I watched the show last night. I thought she looked gorgeous when she came out! Very nice curves and I loved the dress!! Loved her confidence…she seems very happy and its refreshing..she even cracked a joke or two about John
Go Jess!
whats the OPPOSITE of bobble head? cos in that second one she looks like her head is smaller than her body… weirdddd. at least she looks happy
she looks about a UK12 which i believe is a US8. i think she’s looks really good and that dress suits her a lot though perhaps if it had ended just above the knee it might have looked younger.
She is one of the most naturally beautiful people I’ve seen. She’s absolutely stunning without make-up. If I were that pretty I wouldn’t worry about getting my body perfect.
But I think she looks feminine. She doesn’t have my favorite body shape, but it is a nice one anyway.
It’s quite possible that she’s a size 6. I know at least 4 women who wear size 6 and are curvy like this. She may indeed be wearing some undergarments that suck stuff in, but so what. Most Hollywood women (and even a lot of men) wear undergarments like that even if they’re really thin. It smooths everything out, which is important when you’re in front of the camera all the time. I think Jess looks vibrant and sexy, and I know a lot of guys who think she’s hotter than hot.
I never realized how big her ta-tas were until this picture. I’m happy to see that her attitude seems to have changed. Go Jessica!
Wow..it’s insane the difference an outfit can make. I thought she looked awful in the pictures from the other day, but she looks pretty good here.
I think she was extremely attractive/sexy when she was a young girl. She has changed a lot since then even though she is still pretty young. She seems sweet and she still has a pretty face, nice hair, and better body than the average person (lol). But she comes across in interviews atleast as less than the brightest. Not being mean but she seems, let’s say, simple.
@ Amanda Great message! I agree it’s a disgrace to little children who think it’s “acceptable” to look like a skeleton.
I think her bust makes her look bigger than she really is. “Gained” or not, she really looks great. Healthy for sure.
I didn’t get to read all the comments so I apologize if this is just a repeat of everyone elses…but, IMO…
I saw her on Letterman last night and I must say I was taken back at how huge her breasts got.
They look uncomfortable.
I mean that is some rack to have to cover.
Okay, so about her weight. I think she suffers from compulsive overeating and that worries me. It’s not about her body, it’s about her health. If she continues on this path she could end up like Kirstie Alley. Jessica may not be rail thin like her sister, although I do believe her sister has the opposite problem and is a restrictor/anorexic..however, this weight is not natural for her either. She is eating away her feelings, hurt from broken relationships and as she admitted, the mean comments make her eat more..
I predict she goes on some diet soon, as I really don’t think she is happy like this…
Do not like the colour fuschia on her….her told her to wear that? But she is obviously a pretty lady with a nice, healthy body. Don’t mean to be rude, but some of you on here need a reality check with your “sizes”. We all know plenty of voluptuous girls who wear a size 5 or so don’t we? She is not an 8. C’mon!!
I think the only reason Rian has stated that she ‘unfortunately’ gained weight because she seems to forever be gaining weight then losing it and gaining it all back again. Its only a matter of time before she is back on the cover of another magazine blabbing about how she lost xx pounds in x amount of time…
She is DEFINITELY not fat, and compared to the vast majority of women in America, she is THIN. But… she claimed to be a size 4 on Oprah, and there is no way she is a 4. 6 or 8, but not a 4.
She looks good, I think this is a good weight for her.
Wow, she’s looked better…a long time ago.
I don’t think Jessica’s body is meant to be thin, but in many photos she seems to be putting on such a fake front (like she is unhappy with herself). I really love the dress. The main reason I don’t find JS as attractive is due to her childish attitude.
matronly, unflattering dress….
You know, the weight just wouldn’t look as good on anyone else. She’s carrying it off really well. And wow she has some muscular arms!
I think it’s the horrible dress makes her look bigger.
Anyway she looks happy.
She might have gained but she looks healthy, beautiful and happy! I find her really adorable in these pics!
i think she’s wearing spanx because her body looks a bit unnatural.. and i think she looks pretty disgusting… i dont think she looks healthy she looks like shes been eating too many carbs. her face is really fat and i think shes put on at least 10kgs.. at least.. maybe more..
SHe is so pretty becuase of her personality. I really love the dress on her too, its great for her body type. The fact that shes so confident and seems like such a great person makes her beautiful at any weight! IMHO this is so much prettier than emaciated models.
@MONICA: i think shes looks great and im way skinnier than jessica!
I think her face defo looks better with the extra meat on it,
the bust is exploding, which usually is a good thing if you pick the right dress to go with that.
The arms are quite thick, but though I never really liked her I think it’s great that she doesn’t hide until she’s a size zero, but she adresses the topic of weight gain and lets the whole world see how hard it is to lose weight. So kudos to her.
she looks really good these days!
love her shoes,but dont like the dress very much,maybe because its so long it makes her look very curvy,so i think if its short it would look better.
I know the camera adds pounds but she really looks like a size 8 or 10. I might be totally wrong but thats what I think!
Eugh…. She looks so flabby, chunky and thick all in one! What happened to the ‘Daisy Duke’ days…. She looked PHENOMENAL back then, just AMAZING. Now she looks like a ‘letting-myself-go-married-and-bitter-mother-of-four’…. and she’s barely like 30 isn’t she??!! Her upper body is so thick and her neck is stumpy. I saw her on the Late Show and her hair was such a horrid color too. What’s going on? She needs to lose some kilo’s…. I think she looks so wrong!
she has gained a few but i think she still looks beautiful!!
however, she would look better with a V neck
balanced – I read this post when it first came out, and that word was there.
I agree with Stella’s commment though. Who are we to say that we know how someone feels whether they’ve gained or lost weight?
We’re all different, and we have different goals. It’s quite pretentious to assume we know how others feel and what they want to achieve.
Just because a lot of people have issues with their weight, and want to lose, doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of women out there who are perfectly happy with themselves, even if you *personally* don’t think so.
Very pretty! She looks about a size 6 or 8 to me. I think she could stand to lose 10 pounds. Her figure would be amazing on a 50 year old, but if she keeps it up she’ll be dumpy by the time she’s 50.
Moo.
^No need to be a jerk. Grow up.
i think this weight doesn’t suit her but i don’t get all those comments that she’s trying to suck in her stomach, that ‘body language doesn’t lie’ etc and she doesn’t have a healthy body image. i don’t see that in these pics! she’s smiling and happy about her body. if she were self-conscious as some of you have suggested, she would cover up her arms, wear looser clothing, or wear black and so on. perhaps she does think that she could lose a bit of weight, but she’s definitely confident about her body.
and oh, i just read the comment from Lux. totally agree with that!
I feel sorry for this girl. I have recently packed on some lbs. and I don’t even want to get dressed and go out of the house sometimes because I feel like a fat slob! Can you even imagine how tough it is for celebrities to have their weight gains and losses splashed all over the universe???
She (and all of us) should try to ignore others and be happy in whatever shape we happen to be in, because I think most of us tend to lose and gain over and over. At least we don’t have our weight publisized all over the place.
When she was on Oprah she said the “mom jeans” were a size 4 and I just don’t believe it. She should have said my size is noone’s business, but my own!!!
It’s really odd, on the second picture it looks like her face has been added to someone else’s body.
I actually prefer daisy duke-jessica simpson but I have to admit that I find her pretty nice at this weight
probably because she’s self-confident and knows how to rock her curves
curvy and gorgeous..suits her well i think
I think she looks great and in recent interviews she seems much more content – like she’s discovered herself/grown up a bit, which is so much more important than being a small jeans size IMHO
@Leigh Bee – I am your exact height and weight! And I also have issues with my arms. :s I lift weights but they never seem to look toned (I’m quite pale, too). Guess it’s just one of those things!
For those of you having trouble with your arms, try an excellent exercise called Pilates side sparklers. Love it and it works. It’s on Youtube. Just wanted to share!!
I think it’s mostly the dress that’s unflattering on her with the boat neck and tiny sleeves making her shoulders and arms look like those of a linebacker. Otherwise, the way she is now seems to be normal for her and if she doesn’t feel the need to lose weight then good for her. Steamed fish and vegetables only are not for everyone.
She just may never go back to the prettier thinner Jessica Simpson we all love. This is it ladies so get use to it.
