Jessica Simpson has been spotted running errands in Los Angeles.
The 42-year-old Public Affair singer, who debuted her new line of handbags last week, was seen with her blonde hair flowing loose in skin-tight black leather lace-up trousers and chunky knee-high black boots.
The entrepreneur wore chrome aviator shades and tucked her petite frame under a green hoodie.
Simpson carried a $3650 Louis Vuitton Soft Trunk crossbody bag that featured rings on each hand and gold bracelets that stretched across her middle fingers.
The mother-of-three’s outing comes after she posted her new Jessica Simpson Collection handbags online last week.

The former actress models her new collection with the caption, “You can’t leave the house without a handbag so I say we might as well worship our shoulder statements! Our exclusive handbag launch is now on JessicaSimpson.com!’ it said in the caption.
She also shared a picture wearing a yellow floral print dress alongside her mother, 63, Tina Ann Drew Simpson, who helps run her clothing and accessories lines.
Tina seems to be aging in reverse and could pass as Jessica’s sister. The Dukes of Hazzard star engraved above the photo that she will be appearing on HSN soon.
This comes after the mother-of-three looked skinny as ever in a neon green two-piece from Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS line of swimsuits.
She has very skillfully managed to go from pop singer to reality TV star to fashion designer running her own empire.
In March last year, the blonde bombshell landed on the cover of Entrepreneur magazine.
The siren looked slim in a low-cut black suit as she flashed a Mona Lisa smile with her blonde hair parted down the middle and down her back.
The Dukes Of Hazzard actress looked proud of her caption, writing: “Let her underestimate you! Probably my most descriptive title headline yet. Thanks @entrepreneur @francesdodds [the deputy editor of the magazine] for giving me a platform to share my story Jessica Simpson style and see me for who I am.”

Then she gave some sage advice to her followers.
“Don’t put yourself under too much pressure because it’s never all or nothing, you know?” wrote Eric Johnson’s wife.
“There is always a way to take that break. Slow down the time to learn and grow. By the time you get there, you’re ready.”

In January, Simpson said she was considering borrowing money for her homes to regain ownership of her eponymous brand.
The 41-year-old star and her mother, Tina, had a 37.5% minority stake in the Jessica Simpson Collection when Sequential Brands Group Inc. bought a majority stake in 2015, but four years later the star wanted to firm up the lifestyle.
Jessica made the decision while in hospital with bronchitis, 34 weeks into her pregnancy with daughter Birdie, now two.
She recalled the promise: “We will mortgage our houses. Even if I have to live in a small, tiny place in Ireland, I will.
She added to Bloomberg Businessweek: “We are ready to go into the trenches. Pay it all back and earn it yourself.’
In the time since the company was founded, Jessica realized that she was at the heart of what drives the company.
She said: “In the beginning of the business it was a lot about pleasing people. Then we realized that we are actually the leaders.’
In January 2021, Jessica and Tina hired boutique investment bank Threadstone Capital LLC to arrange financing so they could buy back the Jessica Simpson Collection, and the With You singer had a clear brief for them.

Threadstone Managing Director William Susman said: “Since I became involved, Jessica’s message has been very, very clear: ‘I want my name. I want control of my business.” She sees it very much as part of her identity.”
The couple bought back control of the company in October 2021. They planned to keep all 20 licensees across 30+ categories, expand into new products and consider starting their own licensing business.
Tina said, “We want to build our own intellectual property platform so we can sign other people under us and under our umbrella and we’ll take good care of them.”
Jessica – who has Birdie, Maxwell and Ace with her husband Johnson – admires the way her friend Kim Kardashian runs her business empire.
She said: “She reminds me of myself in many ways: she’s very vulnerable, very honest, self-deprecating and driven. I wish I had a little more of her confidence.”
