Jessica Simpson, 42, is her own best model as she poses in Daisy Duke shorts

Jessica Simpson is the best model for her own fashion line Jessica Simpson Style, which she proved again on Wednesday.

The blonde bombshell, 42, looked sensational as she flashed her toned legs while wearing very short shorts. The siren presented the autumn collection.

The former reality TV star has been open about her struggle to lose weight and how she lost 100 pounds after welcoming her third child, Birdie Mae, three years ago.

The red carpet wore a black and beige striped sweater with matching boots and a black hat.

The Open Book author flashed her curvaceous legs while wearing denim Daisy Duke shorts, which is a nod to her role in the movie Dukes Of Hazzard.

Catherine Bach made the shorts popular when she played Daisy Duke in the TV series The Dukes Of Hazzard which premiered over 40 years ago.

Jessica wore the same shorts in the 2005 film version of the series starring Johnny Knoxville.

She lost 100 pounds in 2019 after having her three children; Maxwell, Ace and Birdie.

The siren revealed to Additional‘s Terri Seymour in September that what really helped her lose weight was changing her menu.

“I went to a nutritionist and I had to get my eating habits right,” she said. When asked if she feels “healthy,” the siren said, “I feel absolutely healthy.”

She added: ‘I don’t know. I feel like my old self before I had kids and all the hormones were running wild.

‘I actually feel younger. I have a lot more energy and yes, I get to wear all the clothes I kept in storage for Maxwell and Birdie. Maybe Birdie will outgrow them, because Maxwell has already outgrown me!’

She plays sports more often: her trainer is Harley Pasternak.

And she follows Harley’s Body Reset Diet plan, which includes three meals a day to “keep metabolism up,” as well as smoothies and snacks.

Junk food is a rarity, but sometimes she cheats on candies like powdered donuts.

Terri asked, ‘Why are people obsessed with your weight and how you look? Have you gotten used to it?’

“Oh, god, no,” she said. “Would any woman?”

And she added that the insults sometimes get to her.

Jessica said, “I’ve been criticized and it hurts, but I’ve had it rough and I’ve been proud of it. I decided, “Okay, everyone’s going to talk about my weight all the time, I might as well make money off it and make a business of selling clothes and accepting it.”

The star also spoke about her fashion empire; she took control of the Jessica Simpson collection last year.

Simpson said it feels inspiring to check her business.

“It feels powerful, but in a very humble way because we’ve worked so hard to get this property and, after 18 years of having a collection, to actually own it and liquidate all my, my investments, put all my my confidence to get this one day just for myself and for my kids, it was a moment when i still sometimes don’t believe it’s real.”

She continued, “I still feel like I have someone to answer to. And then I’m like, “Okay, it’s just us 10 girls.” We have this, but everything grows. We’ve had our biggest quarter that we’ve had in about eight years now, so my mom and I knew we could do it, and we’re doing it and I just feel, you know, I feel very blessed. ‘
