And the next day the blonde bombshell was up bright and early to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on the first day of the city's Fashion Week.

The ever-youthful 35-year-old left The Bowery Hotel in the East Village in a sizzling, skin tight pencil skirt laced up both sides with leather thongs threaded through silver rivets.

That will fire up the traders: Jessica Simpson chose a sexy lace-up pencil skirt as she left the Bowery Hotel in the East Village on a mission to open the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning

Leaving one side unlaced to her thigh, she flashed her shapely legs - the split probably also helped her walk in the very narrow skirt.

The Dukes Of Hazzard actress completed her racy ensemble with a black blouse, black high-heeled pumps and a large black leather handbag.

The blonde pulled the strands of hair around her face back and teased into a small beehive while the rest of her tresses cascaded over her shoulders and down her back.

Doing it togther: The singer-actress-entrepreneur was joined by her retired NFL pro player husband Eric Johnson, both 35. He looked debonair in a grey suit on what also the first day of New York Fashion Week
