Jessica Simpson Celebrates 40th Birthday By Fitting Into Her 14-Year-Old Jeans

Jessica Simpson deserves to be one of the most celebrated princesses of the early aughts. Her fashion, music and hair all truly influenced pop culture and arguably still do today.

She and ex-hubby obviously Nick Lachey starred in one of the first reality shows ever. Kardashians who ???

So when Jessica posted a pic of herself in her old jeans for her 40th birthday, fans were taken on a trip down memory lane!

There is no denying Jessica Simpson was (and still is) a cultural icon. She has truly grown up in front of our very eyes! It's hard to believe she's turning 40!

It feels like it was just yesterday she was explaining how 23 was almost 25, which is almost mid-twenties!

No one rocked a low-rise jean quite like our gorl Jessica. Early aughts legend!

Jessica was THE blonde bombshell of the 2000s. No one even came *close* to her beauty and talent.

Of course, Jessica's memoir, which was released earlier this year, showed the dark reality hidden behind the smiling star.

As we learned from the tell-all book, Jessica hasn't had the easiest go in Hollywood, but she is finally living the dream life filled with all the happiness she deserves!

Her hubby Eric Johnson (whom she married back in 2014) seems to truly be her perfect match!

I'm literally obsessed with these two together.

In fact, this DARLING DUO just celebrated their six-year wedding anniversary.

"Eric Johnson, my Husband, I love you. 6yrs ago today I married my perfect soulmate. Our unity was written in God’s sky of colliding stars," she wrote.

"Together we manifest dreams, nurture desire, and hold space. Destined, it always has been and always will be, forevermore."

She continued: "Also, anyone who knows me at all knows that this crystal butterfly is my dream gift."

AW!

The couple have welcomed three gorgeous children together, and the fam seems to be living their best life!

So when Jessica celebrated turning the big 4-0 with a super special Insta post, fans couldn't have been happier to see Jessica so happy!

"I have kept these throwback True Religion jeans in my closet for 14 yrs (I’m not exaggerating!)," she wrote on Insta.

"I figured that since I’m in the final hours of my 30’s I’d give them another try, and hello 40, so nice to meet you."

Fans were loving Jessica's happiness and confidence. She deserves to be feeling herself, she looks amazing!

"Girl you look FIRE! My style icon. I love your heart, and your soul. I have read your book twice and listen to it on audible before I go to bed. You have encouraged me to leave a very toxic relationship. Thank you," gushed one fan.

"Yesssss!!!! I think i copied that exact pair bc you wore them back in the day," wrote another fan.

I love how obsessed everyone was with Jessica's fashion! I was literally the same way, lol.

"Is there a better way to turn 40 than fitting into your old skinny jeans!?" raved another fan. I think the answer is clearly NO, there is no better way!
