On July 10, Jessica Simpson — pop star, successful designer, and endearingly oblivious reality TV queen — turns 34. It seems like just yesterday we were all huddled around our screens, hanging off of her every word as Simpson waxed philosophical about Chicken of the Sea on MTV’s Newlyweds (#neverforget) and strutted around The Dukes of Hazzard in the tiniest jean shorts known to man. A lot has changed for Simpson over the years, though. After slowly but surely disappearing into minor irrelevancy following the demise of Newlyweds and her highly publicized breakup with 98 Degrees boy-bander Nick Lachey, she fought her way back into the spotlight in the classiest way possible. So classy, in fact, that we can almost forgive her for those shorts. Almost.

These days, she’s traded in her title as Mrs. Lachey for Mrs. Johnson, and has two super-cute nuggets to chase after in the high heels she’s built her extremely successful fashion empire around. She’s practically the master of the subtle comeback (are you taking notes, Lindsay?) and although it nearly breaks our hearts, she hasn’t been the butt of a joke in ages. Snaps for Jessica!

Since she’s become a woman who quite literally has it all, let’s celebrate Simpson's b-day with a look back at the moments she made us laugh at her and with her.
