Jessica Simpson is being slammed online for letting her 11-year-old daughter wear mature clothes.

The singer made headlines when she brought her lookalike daughter Maxwell Drew to PetSafe’s Unleashed event in Los Angeles, California.

Simpson shared a picture of her beside Maxwell, wearing a crop top and denim maxi skirt, with the caption: “Bring your Barbie to work day.”

But the comment section was in full throttle as many were quick to question why the 43-year-old mom would allow her pre-teen daughter to dress like she’s well into her twenties.

One person wrote: “Both are beautiful! BUT just my opinion. Crop top on an 11 year old is pushing boundaries. JS is beautiful. Her daughter is beautiful. But what's the message here?”

Another said: “I thought that girl was like 19-22.”

A third commented: “Who lets their 11-year-old child out of the house dressed like that?? Too busy trying to be her minor daughter's best friend instead of being a responsible parent.

“After years of denouncing how she was oversexualized as a young adult and the scrutiny she faced, she's now making sure her daughter will have the same experience instead of protecting her from it. Shameful and incredibly sad. Poor Maxwell.”

However, one fan was quick to defend Simpson, citing that society shouldn’t dictate what women wear, regardless of age.

“This is why women are put into a box and society thinks that we should act and dress a certain way, Who cares! This is not your body, this is not your daughter. I think they both look beautiful, smart and amazing! So much hate in this world and that shows how many people are truly unhappy with themselves and their own lives,” they quipped.

Simpson shares two other children, Ace Knute, 10, and Birdie Mae, four, with her former NFL player husband, Eric Johnson.

While attending PetSafe’s Unleashed, Simpson clapped back at trolls for body shaming her during an interview with ET.

She added that her children were mostly ‘confused’ by the harsh scrutiny she faced, particularly in the age of body positivity.

“‘I don’t even understand this mom, why can’t they just say you look pretty,’” she said.

“I tell my kids, ‘How you feel about yourself is how you should feel'.

“It’s not about … you don’t dress for anybody else. You don’t try to look like anybody else.”
