Jessica Simpson goes hell for leather in biker chic jacket and towering high-heeled boots as she squeezes in some last-minute Christmas shopping

Jessica Simpson oozed showbiz chic even as she went grocery shopping in Los Angeles in the days before Christmas.

The 43-year-old was spotted heading to the shops, presumably to pick up some last-minute items for the impending holiday.

She showed off her staggering legs in a pair of skin-tight black leather trousers and balanced expertly on a sky-high pair of high-heeled platform boots.

The I Wanna Love You Forever singer, who fended off the winter chill in a sleek black leather jacket, completed the outfit with a flattering top and a green handbag.

Her signature blonde locks were worn into silky drapes and framed her unmistakable facial features, which she sharpened with a touch of crimson lipstick.

Over the summer, Jessica moved to Nashville with her family to restart her singing career in the country music capital.

To do this, she brought along her husband, NFL retiree Eric Johnson, and their three children: Maxi, 11, Ace, 10, and Birdie, four.

“When I'm in Nashville, even my kids say, 'You're smiling all the time. You're so happy,'” Jessica revealed this summer E! News

“It's because I let my guard down. I'm with a lot of like-minded people. It's not about the celebrities – it's really about the music and the heart and the conversation.”

As for the career move, she stated that she is “not nervous at all, but if you asked me two years ago, when I talked about returning to music, I was scared. But now I know exactly what I want.'

She's building my own platform. I'm doing it for the first time – like I would – without a label telling me I have to do this song or use this producer. It's all me.'

Jessica hasn't produced a new studio album in over a decade – not since the release of her 2010 record Happy Christmas.

In the intervening years, she has devoted herself to a series of other professional ventures, including a jewelry line at Walmart and a bestselling memoir.

A few years later, however, she pulled off a staggering about-face and decided to take over The Jessica Simpson Collection again – much to the chagrin of her business manager of more than twenty years, who broke with her over the move.

Jessica had to borrow money from her mother Tina to get her brand back for a reported $65 million.

“I'm emptying my bank account,” she told The Real last April after the buyback. “I don't have a working credit card.”

She approached her problems stoically, saying, “It's okay. I'll pay in cash. I recently went to Taco Bell and my card was declined. I'm on a budget, ladies!'

Jessica also recently denied that Ozempic had anything to do with her 100-pound weight loss, which she attributed to her “willpower” and her decision to give up alcohol.
