It’s cold in NYC, but that’s no excuse for Jessica Simpson’s outfit

Jessica Simpson very nearly didn’t make it to New York yesterday after her plane from Nashville was delayed due to extreme rain. She was supposed to go to Macy’s 150th Anniversary party. Though she did make it to the event, Jess was pretty late and most everyone had left by then.

Jessica Simpson stood up two dates on Tuesday night – boyfriend Tony Romo and … Elmo?

The singer – who designs clothing, shoes and handbags for Macy’s – was supposed to fly from Nashville to New York Tuesday to celebrate the department store’s 150th anniversary.

But driving rain caused serious flight delays, forcing Simpson to miss her scheduled Macy’s gig singing “Happy Birthday” with Elmo.

In fact the deparment store party – which included guests like Eva Mendes, Tommy Hilfiger and Martha Stewart – had nearly ended by the time Simpson finally arrived at 8:30 p.m.

“I’m so, so sorry!” she said as she rushed into Manhattan’s Gotham Hall with her B.F.F. hairstylist Ken Paves. “[I wish] I could be God and control the weather.”

I’m pretty sure the real reason Jessica was running behind was that she had to hunt and kill whatever animal (or faux-animal; I can’t quite tell) she’s wearing around her neck. It’s really cold in New York lately – yesterday it was in the mid-thirties and raining. So it felt cold enough to snow, but instead of peaceful flakes you get driving, drenching rain. I’m guessing Jessica wore this outfit thinking it would keep her warm and was sort of stylish, but to me it just looks like she took a gun to Central Park. It’s just a little too poufy and “I hate raccoons” for my taste.

Here’s Jessica Simpson leaving Da Silvano restaurant in New York City after a business dinner with her Princy clothing line partner yesterday. I’m going to assume this was after the Macy’s debacle. Images thanks to Fame.

    I think she looks nice and classy. I dont believe in wearing fur esp if you have other means of keeping warm IE : Faux Fur but she looks well put together and dare i say smart

  2. Codzilla says:

    I don’t get this dummy. She either has her tits squashed into some nasty hooker dress, or she’s draped in ill-fitting layers of fabric. Doesn’t she have a stylist?

  3. JaundiceMachine says:

    The fugly raccoon wrap? The “unexpected delay”? The hand placement around her baby oven? I think she’s trying veeeeery hard to circulate some pregnancy rumors of her own.

  4. Enonymous says:

    I like it, she looks cute.

  5. Embee says:

    If it’s real fur I hate her; otherwise, I think she looks adorable. And for heaven’s sake she cannot control the weather. I dare say many stars wouldn’t have bothered to show up at all. She works hard and meets her obligations, which is rare and admirable in celebrity culture.

  6. Nova says:

    That definitely looks like synthetic fur…and I think she looks pretty appropriate. Its cold out, so of course she’s not wearing some off the shoulder frock. DUH! Her hair and makeup look pretty too…not stripper-ish. It looks to me like she DID get a stylist.

  7. Ernestine says:

    Ugh. I’ve seen this chick wearing what looks like fur in photos before, and I can’t tell if it’s real or not. I hope wholeheartedly that she cares enough to choose compassionate fashion. I mean, I don’t think she’s intelligent or interesting or talented. That said, I don’t HATE her; I think she’s a dumbass but a pretty inoffensive one, overall. And she seems like an earnest, nice-enough person.

    But if she wears real pelts, however, she can get fucked and set afire, for all I care.

  8. Shane says:

    She looks great.

  9. elisha says:

    There are ugly people in NYC, but that’s no excuse for Jessica Simpson’s face.

    I’m a huge fan of fake fur. I love the way it looks and feels, and I think the “but it makes people think fur is stylish” line is tired and just deliberately argumentative. Fur is pretty. People have always thought that animal coats are gorgeous. We always will. They’re soft, pretty, and warm. Hence…the natural tendency to want coats of our own that look/feel the same.

    I would never purchase anything with real fur on it. Ever.

    But fake fur? Please. Faux for the win.

    She looks very nice, imo.

  11. Carlos Martins says:

    C`mon…
    She looks classy and pretty nice.

  12. anonymous says:

    Anyone else think her eyes look weird in these pictures? I guess they could all be bad pics, but she looks drunk or sedated in most of them to me.

  13. Gracie says:

    I’m sorry – I don’t buy the whole ‘fur is immoral’ bit. I personally don’t wear it, but there are a lot more bad things people do, and I don’t put wearing fur at the top of the list.

  14. morgs says:

    She looks like a busted Sharon Stone/Cruella de Ville.

  15. Tina says:

    I don’t have love or hate for either of them, but Jessica Simpson looks like Kylie Minogue in this photo (esp. her hair).

  16. popo says:

    Good little sheeple. Fur bad. Focus on that and smoking. Perhaps the constitution will just go away.

  17. NativeNYker says:

    Thats real fur! Although its hardly enough to keep her warm… What the pictures don’t tell is that girlfriend was two steps past tipsy!

  18. Upskt Celebs says:

    Cute or not, it would be nice if she would actually “do” something to deserve her status.

  19. KLO says:

    She looks nice.

    It didn’t rain in Nashville yesterday. I live there

  21. anonymous says:

    “Jessica Simpson stood up two dates on Tuesday night – boyfriend Tony Romo and … Elmo?”

    What was Romo doing in Nashville Tuesday night? I know he’s injured, but I would think he would still go to practices during the week even if he isn’t going to play Sunday.

    I think she lied about “date night” with Tony.

  22. Kaiser says:

    She looks like a bitter 40-year-old divorcee. I think she does have a stylist – but she needs a new one. 🙄

    Here’s Tuesday’s weather report (no rain mentioned) for Nashville from MTWC Weather…

    “Tuesday, October 28, 2008
    Cool Today
    …Here in Nashville look for a high of about 50º under sunny skies…”

  24. anonymous says:

    Accuweather reports “0 precipitation” for Nashville on Tuesday, October 28th. And they report from the Nashville Airport (BNA).

    So it wasn’t rain that made her late.

  25. kate says:

    kind of cheesy – she looks like a character from a bad bad soap opera.

  26. jess says:

    It rained in NY. Hard. That’s why she was delayed. It’s not a hard concept to grasp.

  27. Do not believe in Jessica Simpson and many so called Simpson. Don’t be like Jessica Simpson. So in Tuesday night boyfriend Tony Romo, you could turn only $ 100 into over $ 800 using The singer.

  28. Ally says:

    What New York party is almost over by 8:30pm? I call Bs on this one.

  29. TM says:

    The ensemble not too bad but the fur gotta go..

  30. snappyfish says:

    That is silver fox

  31. Julia says:

    Jess looks stunning as always.
