Jessica, who is engaged to NFL player Eric Johnson, is rumoured to be walking down the aisle before the end of the year - but not before shedding a few pounds.

Jessica has been criticised in the past for her fuller figure and fluctuating weight, but from these recent pictures it appears the star is be beating the bulge. She revealed her super toned physique while wearing a tiny tribal print dress on the red carpet for the celebrity event.

The singer and fashion mogul was the honouree of the night as she received the award for Style Icon of the Year.

To get in shape for the wedding, Jessica has hired celebrity fitness trainer Tracey Anderson.

Addressing the issue of her weight, she said last year, “We all obsess over looking like the perfect Barbie type, and that’s not always what’s beautiful. It’s about making peace with yourself.”
This is the second marriage for Jessica, who was previously married to pop star Nick Lachey in 2002 and appeared on MTV reality show ‘Newlyweds’. The couple divorced in 2006. She began dating Johnson in May of last year and the couple announced their engagement this past November.
