She's taken a stab at singing, reality television, movies ... and now, swimwear? After taking quite a bit of heat over her size, Jessica Simpson is now designing bikinis — and they're a far cry from her much-criticized "mom jeans."
According to the New York Daily News, contestants in the Miss USA pageant will don the singer's latest creations this Sunday as they take the stage. The $104 white-and-gold string bikinis were created specifically for the pageant, as were the $88 bright-green string bikinis modeled by the crown-chasers during a pre-pageant photo shoot in Vegas. While Jess has been dressing herself in more flattering outfits as of late (fine, she's draping herself in muumuus, but I'm trying to be nice), her swimsuit collection leaves little to the imagination.
Simpson's curvaceous figure has been a topic of conversation since she broke out onto the scene in the late '90s. While weathering the most recent media attack that she had packed on the pounds, Jess addressed the issue at a concert, complaining to her fans that "we focus on so many things that are so pointless." Clearly, she takes swimsuit competitions more seriously than most.
What ever the case may be, it seems like Miss Simpson is doing what she can to keep her own body out of the public eye and letting the beauty queens enjoy the spotlight for a while. Smart move, Jess. Now you and Tony can eat your wings in peace for a little while longer.
