Jessica Simpson Shines at the 2025 VMA

Jessica Simpson made quite an impression on the red carpet at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards held at USB Arena in New York this Sunday, donning a striking black cutout gown by Christian Siriano.

This eye-catching piece, part of the designer’s Resort 2025 collection, is priced at a staggering $7,900.

Simpson is set to present during the ceremony, marking her first VMA appearance in nearly two decades—her last being in 2006. She accessorized her look with dazzling drop earrings and styled her signature blonde hair into a playful ponytail.

The singer, known for hits like “Take My Breath Away,” took to Instagram earlier in the week to express her excitement, saying it feels like “Back to where it all started!” Even though she hasn’t won an award this year, her presence alone is noteworthy.

This event comes on the heels of her return to the stage after a long hiatus; Simpson performed four songs from her new album “Nashville Canyon” on “American Idol” earlier this year.

Reflecting on her stylish summer, it’s evident she’s been embracing bold looks, ranging from leather bodysuits for album promotions to glamorous sheer dresses for birthday celebrations.

Interestingly, this year’s VMA also holds significance for her family, as her sister Ashley Simpson attended the awards for the first time in 17 years, dazzling in a sequined gown.

Tonight’s ceremony features an array of celebrity presenters including Brittany Snow, Ciara, Drew Barrymore, Ice Spice, and Paris Hilton, among others.
