Last night, at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, Jessica Simpson arrived to the red carpet with a dramatic new look, as she appeared looking younger and fresher than ever before – and a plastic surgeon is weighing in on her apparently changing face.
Simpson, 45, stunned in a black, figure-hugging tulle dress designed by Christian Siriano, which featured revealing crisscross detailing throughout the top and skirt, showing off her skin.
The Dukes of Hazzard star had her long blonde locks styled in a high ponytail, showing off her sculpted face in what was her first appearance at the VMAs since 2006.
Many fans were completely shocked by her youthful visage, with tons of people flocking to social media to share their thoughts over what looked like a drastic makeover.
‘I don’t know who this woman is, but this is not Jessica Simpson,’ one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Another agreed, ‘I wouldn’t have recognized her if you didn’t tell me who this is.’
‘I honestly didn’t recognize her but I feel like if she had blonder hair, not in a ponytail and different make up, she would be more recognizable,’ someone else typed.
‘Jessica Simpson looks like a completely different person at the #VMAs,’ a user posted.

Now, her unrecognizable look is being broken down by a plastic surgeon, as they spoke exclusively to Daily Mail exactly what they believe Simpson has had done after looking at footage.
‘Jessica Simpson looked phenomenal at the VMAs,’ Dr. David Pincus of New York’s Pincus Plastic Surgery told Daily Mail.
‘While we can’t say for certain since we did not perform any procedures on her, her appearance suggests a tightened, refreshed look,’ Dr. Pincus continued.
‘Her lips appear freshly filled within the last week or two, giving a very full look that many women love.’
The plastic surgeon also noted that Simpson’s skin looked ‘amazing’ on the red carpet, which could be due to laser treatments or other ‘medical-grade skincare.’
Typically, these medical-grade skincare products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients than you might typically find in a product that’s sold over-the-counter, according to The University of Kansas Health System.
These kind of products include Biologique Recherche’s famous Lotion P50, which contains tons of exfoliating acids and is meant to totally transform your skin.
Dr. Pincus also noted that Simpson might have had Botox injected before the VMAs.

‘I don’t see signs of major facial surgery, but rather a combination of fillers, Botox, and skin treatments,’ Dr. Pincus explained. Pictured: Jessica in 2005

‘Jessica has openly shared in the past that she’s tried lip filler, non-surgical facelifts, and a tummy tuck with complications,’ he shared.
‘At this event, it also looks like she may have had Botox or other neuromodulators in the forehead or brow area to create lift and smoothness,’ Dr. Pincus said.
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a type of cosmetic injection that relaxes the muscles by blocking nerve signals, per Cleveland Clinic, making them hard to move.
The injections are commonly used in order to reduce signs of aging and wrinkles.
‘I don’t see signs of major facial surgery, but rather a combination of fillers, Botox, and skin treatments,’ Dr. Pincus explained.
‘These are enhancements available to everyday people at a fraction of the cost of surgery, and they can create a balanced, tight look that highlights natural features,’ he continued.
‘Jessica looked confident and radiant, and we hope she loves her look… because she truly looks great.’
