Jessica Simpson fans voice concern as she wears 8th grade cheerleader jacket

Jessica Simpson wraps herself up in her 8th grade cheerleader jacket as she celebrated the new year.

The singer, 42, shared a photo of her wearing the childhood relic, which she paired with an orange beanie hat.

It had her name stitched onto the logo on the breast of the jacket and she added the caption: "my 8th grade head cheerleader letter jacket."

Her younger sister Ashlee Simpson wrote: "Yes go Vikings!" and added a laughing-crying emoji.

She added a pair of diamond hoop earrings and kept her make up natural.

As well as sharing her fashion throwback, she also asked fans whether she should keep her blonde hair or go for a different colour.

She shared a snap of her playing with colour filters and added one of her with pink hair so see what her followers made of it.

However, fans were concerned by the star's shrinking size, with one pointing out that it was "scary" she was able to fit into clothes she wore in the 8th grade.

Another said that she was "losing too much weight."

But some fans said that it wasn't right for people to be commenting on her body or the way she looks.

One person wrote: "I'm 50 & i could wear my 8th grade varsity jacket… they’re baggy… now jeans would be a different story but jackets c’mon…"

Throughout her career, Jessica's weight has always fluctuated as she has embarked on crash diets and gruelling exercise regimes.

After the birth of her daughter Birdie Mae, three, she shed over 100lbs which left her with a slim figure.

Jessica allegedly felt a lot of pressure to keep trim for her role as Daisy Duke in 2005 movie The Dukes of Hazzard.

In her memoir, she wrote that the movie "created a gold standard Jessica, the "before" for every 'is she fat or is she thin' for the rest of my career."

In an interview with Extra last year, she shared some of the advice she got from her co-star Lynda Carter.

Jessica recalled that Lynda said: "I will always be Wonder Woman and compared to Wonder Woman, and that’s what you’re doing here as Daisy Duke. Just know the words 'Daisy Duke' will follow you for the rest of your career."'

Jessica is married to her her second husband Eric Johnson, a former NFL player, by whom she shares Maxwell, 10, Ace, nine, and Birdie, three.
