Jessica Simpson reveals the sex of her baby! "She."

Jessica Simpson wears a stretch pique dress from Narciso Rodriguez, yellow sapphire and diamond earrings and a yellow sapphire ring with peridot, turquoise, sapphires, and diamonds, both from Van Cleef & Arpels.

On hopes for her daughter's sense of style:
"Ah swear, ah will croak if she asks me for a pair of Nikes instead of Christian Louboutins!" she blurts out, her Dallas accent swooping back in this moment of heightened anxiety. "Eric is so athletic. We're gonna have this ath-a-letic girl and I won't even be able to take her shopping."

Cotton crewneck, L'Agence, $165, at Pitkin County Dry Goods, Aspen. Hipster briefs, Only Hearts, $25. Diamond stud earrings, De Beers, price on request.

On taking tabloid brutality in stride:
"I'm still standin'," she drawls. "I grew up very strong! You know, my father used to be an adolescent therapist. I remember sitting at his office, watching the girls walkin' in and out. Kids doin' coke at 16...heroin. Pregnant at 14. I could see what I didn't want to be."

Cushion-cut diamond ring set in white gold, De Beers, price on request, at De Beers stores nationwide.

On her body subconsciously telling her she was pregnant:
"We were goin' to have an all-day drinking binge," Simpson says, not shy about saying so. "Gonna ride our bikes, hang out...do naughty things. But I started feeling this overwhelming guilt. Why would I feel guilt at the idea of going out and having cocktails with my friends?"

Simpson wears yellow sapphire and diamond earrings and a yellow sapphire ring with peridot, turquoise, sapphires, and diamonds from Van Cleef & Arpels.
