Speaking to Footwear News, Jessica looked back on some of her biggest fashion moments over the years. One outfit was from 2006 when she was promoting her album A Public Affair after the breakup.

Notably, she chopped off her long blonde hair into a chic bob, which she paired with a purple dress. The change to her hair was purposeful.

“This was press for my last pop record that I did. I had short hair, I just chopped it all off. I was going through a divorce and I just said take it all off,” she recalled, adding, “I just wanted to wear something that was comfortable.”

If you missed it, Jessica seemingly threw some shade Nick‘s way in a recent interview.
