PHOTOS Jessica Simpson’s latest look is a bit of a contradiction

Jessica Simpson Poncho

Jessica Simpson’s bringing sexy back — and the poncho trend along with it!

The mother-of-two stepped out in New York City today in sleek leather pants and an oversized poncho. In terms of fashion, the poncho was a big hit in the 1970s. The shapeless outer garment enjoyed a brief resurgence in the mid-2000s, but is rarely seen on trendsetters like Jessica these days.

I’m sure many will agree the poncho is decidedly un-sexy. That being said, she really made it work…

Earlier in the week, Jessica was photographed at the Los Angeles airport in another pair of leather pants. During that outing, she paired the sexy bottoms with a low-cut black shirt, fur coat and stilettos.

Both of the leather looks showed off Jessica’s post-baby body. She reportedly gained 60 pounds during her first pregnancy. The second time around, she said she better controlled her weight but admitted she “still gained a lot.”

Shortly after giving birth to son Ace Knute Johnson last summer, Jessica got back to work with Weight Watchers. During a recent promotion for the company, she said she steadily progressed toward her body goal with the Simple Start Plan.

“It just kept me going and I was just so impressed with myself. I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, I can do this!'”
