I can hardly wrap my mind around the fact that it’s been 15 years since Jessica Simpson has performed new music. One of the most prominent pop voices of the Y2K era, she has worn many hats—a mom, a fashion entrepreneur, and more—but music seemed to take a backseat for a bit. But fans of her powerhouse vocals are thrilled to see that she’s not only back with a new album, Nashville Canyon, Pt. 2, she’s also ready to take it to the stage and screen. And that’s exactly what she did on Wednesday morning with flair down to her fingertips.
Simpson performed on Today for the first time in nearly two decades for the show’s outdoor concert series, bringing the live and TV audiences new music, as well as some of the hits for which she became so well-known. Her look could best be described as Western bohemian glam, with an iridescent, fringy jacket over a pale pink, corsetted dress and topped off with a large cross necklace. She also wore oversized rings, including a massive turquoise piece—but that’s not the only place on her fingers where stones showed up.
