Jessica Simpson, 46, shared a birthday bikini selfie to Instagram on July 29 captioned “💫46💫 July 10/26.”
The singer marked the occasion with a close-up selfie showing her tanning in a black-and-white polka-dot bikini, reclining beneath a purple crocheted cover while wearing oval dark sunglasses, her blonde hair styled in a loose side braid, and accessorized with layered turquoise bead necklaces, a square green pendant, dangling stone earrings and stacked bracelets.
Fans quickly filled the comments with birthday wishes and compliments for the pop star.
“How is that possible? You just turned 23! ❤️ happy birthday!” one shared.
Others kept their reactions short but enthusiastic, with followers chiming in with “Looking great! Happy happy birthday Jess,” while another simply wrote “WOW!”
“Looking great! Happy happy birthday Jess,” said another.
“Happy Birthday to you 🎂 Wishing you the most MAGICAL year ahead ✨” shared a third.
The bikini itself was a standout piece from luxury swimwear brand Montce.
Simpson wore a black triangle bikini top with white polka dots and matching bottoms, accessorizing with a turquoise pendant necklace, a turquoise and white beaded necklace, pearl drop earrings, gold bracelets and a pair of oval-shaped, gold-rimmed sunglasses.
With the sun illuminating her face, the “With You” singer completed the birthday look with glossy lips and a relaxed expression.
The birthday post came as Simpson marked another trip around the sun nearly three weeks after her actual July 10 birthday. Simpson lounged in the tiny polka-dot bikini by Montce while soaking up the sun on a clear summer afternoon.
Simpson’s love of sun-soaked celebrations runs deep.
“I am a born-and-bred Texan sun lover. My birthday is in July, and every birthday party I had was in the pool. My buns were always tan,” Simpson told the outlet.
The birthday post also comes months after Simpson reflected on her lifelong love of tanning in an interview with Elle magazine, describing herself as a lifelong “sun lover” and recalling summers spent by the pool while admitting she rarely thought about sunscreen growing up.
“I still like the tan, trust me, but there are ways to go about it,” she said.
The polka-dot photo arrived as Simpson continues her career resurgence.
The singer and actress has made a comeback in the music industry with the release of her EPs “Nashville Canyon, Part 1” and “Part 2” following her divorce from former NFL player Eric Johnson.
During a recent appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Simpson opened up about her family and her time away from live performance.
“They’ve never seen me perform,” Simpson said. “I really wanted to be a mom. I wanted to focus on the Jessica Simpson Collection.”
Simpson added, “Over the last 15yrs of not performing, I haven’t been able to fully express myself in ways that make the most sense for my life. Each and every single one of you that bless my heart by comin’ to MY HOME on the stage have become a major part of my journey through the pain and the joy.”
“Y’all have resurrected my purpose and have accepted me as I am! There is just no greater achievement than to be able to be seen and experienced as myself. I’m so lucky to vulnerably sing and chat with all of you that come to these shows!”
Simpson shares three children—Maxwell, Birdie, and Ace—with Johnson.
Simpson and Johnson, 46, announced their separation in January 2025.
The singer also recently celebrated her birthday with an extended tropical getaway.
“Belated birthday moments in paradise at Cabuya Villa in Turks & Caicos with the most amazing team at @lacurevillas and @pavilionluxuryvillas who took care of every single detail,” she captioned photos. “Endless sunshine, boat days, our own private beach, incredible food and the absolute sweetest staff ❤️,” she concluded.
