Jessica Simpson was married to Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006, and the two starred on the MTV reality show “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” for three seasons.

Though she initiated the divorce, Simpson was not sure she’d ever find love again. She met the 98 Degrees singer at a Christmas party in 1998 and they married four years later, on October 26, 2002, in Austin, Texas.

“It was hard to imagine I would ever walk down the aisle again,” she told Glamour in 2009.

“It was like a death in the family: You go through the mourning stage, then the rebellion, and then all of a sudden you have to find life by yourself. Once you do that, you feel complete—and that’s the only time you can truly fall in love again, and give yourself over completely to another person.”

In September 2015, Jessica Simpson showed off her ample assets while attending the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Jessica Simpson Collection held at Tavern on the Green in New York City.

The then 35-year-old singer and designer sported a revealing plunge-neck velvet and crepe jumpsuit from Galvan featuring a navy sheer-mesh insert and navy sheer-mesh side panels.

While barely visible underneath her midnight-blue jumpsuit, Jessica reportedly completed the outfit with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti platform sandals.

While we find it rather strange that Jessica decided not to wear items from her eponymous fashion brand, you can buy shoes from her footwear line starting from just $4.99 at DSW, Nordstrom, Zappos, Amazon, and Macy’s.
