Jessica Simpson is celebrating 46 in swimwear.
The "With You" singer shared a selfie on Instagram Thursday, July 30, posing in a black bikini with white polka dots weeks after marking her July 10 birthday.
The fashion brand entrepreneur accessorized with a turquoise bead necklace and oval sunglasses, with jewelry on her sleeve.
The post received more than 25,000 likes, with comments featuring birthday wishes and compliments on her youthful appearance. "How is that possible? You just turned 23!" a user wrote.
The singer has spent much of the summer sharing snapshots from her warm-weather wardrobe, including a floral-and-zebra-print one-piece she modeled in a June 25 Instagram post captioned, "Summertime vibes."
Jessica Simpson has previously condemned scrutiny over her body
Simpson's post comes after years of
media scrutiny over her physical appearance.
In an interview with Allure published on Dec. 8, she said that public commentary has followed her throughout her career.
"I had the Jessica Simpson Collection [as my work], but I really didn't entertain for 15 years, so I didn't understand why I would still be in the tabloids," she told the magazine. "I didn't understand the fascination. A lot of it has to do with my looks, like it has to do with either being scrutinized or 'How did she rise above this?'"
Simpson, who lost 100 pounds after the 2019 birth of her daughter Birdie Mae Johnson, has been scrutinized for her figure on social media. In July 2023, she told Bustle that she did not take the diabetes medication Ozempic, which has also been prescribed off-label for weight loss, after giving birth.
"It's been a big part of just knowing myself, knowing where I'm at without all the noise," Simpson told Allure. "Knowing ourselves makes us unique because if we cannot listen to our intuition, we're letting everybody else tell us who we are, right? We are the only people that have our own answers."
