Jessica Simpson made no secret of the fact that she was single and ready to mingle when she hit the MTV VMAs red carpet at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York on Sunday, September 7th.

The “Irresistible” singer flaunted her post-divorce figure in a daring, barely-there outfit for her first appearance at the VMAs in 20 – yes, we said 20! – years, truly showing ex-husband Eric Johnson what he was missing!

Jessica Simpson Turns Heads In A Sheer Christian Siriano Dress At The MTV VMAs

The 45-year-old multi-hyphenate turned heads in a black sheer Christian Siriano dress featuring layers of delicate tulle and mesh paneling. The racy and dramatic gown left little to the imagination, with only high-waisted black briefs and a few strips of opaque fabric strategically placed to maintain a hint of modesty.

The Open Book author accessorized with black strappy heels, stacked rings, and statement earrings, which she showed off thanks to her blonde hair being worn in a fierce high pony. Her makeup was almost as dramatic as the dress, featuring a smoldering smoky eye and a soft, glossy pink lip.

While many fans thought the Dukes of Hazzard alum looked great in her figure-flaunting dress that did a great job of highlighting her 100-lb weight loss, many others thought that she had gone overboard with the apparent fillers and cosmetic surgery, as many deemed her unrecognizable.

Fan Comments

"Is Jessica in the room with us?" asked one of the many fans who thought she looked "unrecognizable" on a Page Six Instagram post.

"Right? like I thought I was losing my vision. Ain't no way that's Jessica," replied a second, in agreement, as a third exclaimed: "Her face has really changed! She was gorgeous before… so sad that she felt the pressure to change." "Her face is unrecognizable!" thought a fourth, as a fifth agreed: "Looks nothing like herself."

"Holy plastic surgery!" commented a sixth, this time on a People Instagram post. "Who is this? I was waiting for a photo of Jessica Simpson," quipped a seventh.

"Would not have guessed that that was Jessica Simpson," admitted an eighth, as a ninth added: "That looks nothing like Jessica!" "Looking very beautiful, but wouldn't know who that was without the caption," said a tenth.
