Jessica Simpson exuded showbiz chic even when she stepped out to run errands in Los Angeles in the days before Christmas.
The 43-year-old was spotted heading to the shops, presumably to pick up a few last-minute items before the impending holiday.
She showed off her vertiginous legs in a skintight set of black leather trousers and balanced expertly on a towering pair of high-heeled platform boots.
Warding off the wintertime chill in a sleek black leather jacket, the I Wanna Love You Forever songstress completed the outfit with a flattering top and a green handbag.
Her signature blonde locks were worn down in silky curtains, framing her unmistakable features, which she sharpened with a slick of crimson lipstick.

Over the summer, Jessica moved to Nashville with her family in order to restart her singing career in the capital of country music.
In order to do so, she brought along her husband, NFL retiree Eric Johnson, and their three children – Maxi, 11, Ace, 10, and Birdie, four.
‘Being in Nashville, even my kids are like: “You laugh the whole time. You’re so happy,”‘ Jessica revealed over the summer to E! News
‘It’s because I’m not on guard. 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 declared that she is ‘not nervous at all, but if you were to ask me two years ago when I was talking about coming back to music, I was frightened. But now, I know exactly what I want.’
She is ‘building my own platform. I’m doing it for the first time – the way I would – without a label telling me I need to do this song or use this producer. It’s all me.’
Jessica has not 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 string of other professional ventures, including a jewelry line with Walmart and a bestselling memoir.

A few years later, however, she performed a dizzying volte face and decided to reacquire The Jessica Simpson Collection – appalling her business manager of over 20 years, who broke with her over the move.
Jessica had to borrow money from her mother Tina to get her brand back for what was widely rumored to be $65 million.
‘I am draining my bank account,’ she said on The Real last April after the buyback. ‘I have no working credit card.’
She took a stoic approach to her troubles, saying: ‘It’s okay. I will pay in cash. I went to Taco Bell the other day and my card got denied. I’m on a budget, ladies!’
Jessica has also recently denied that Ozempic had anything to do with her 100lbs weight loss, which she attributed to her ‘willpower’ and decision to give up alcohol.
