Jessica Simpson is back on the red carpet - and bringing star power to the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. The singer, 45, flashed some serious skin in a dramatic black dress with layered and ruched tulle fabric upon her arrival at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York on Sunday, September 7, before taking the stage to serve as a presenter for the event. Known for her bold style, Simpson lived up to her reputation and didn't disappoint in the fashion department, accessorizing with sky-high pumps, sparkling chain-link silver earrings and styling her hair in a chic tousled ponytail.
