Jessica Alba puts on a leggy display in stylish black blazer dress

Jessica Alba cut a sophisticated figure as she attended the Swarovski Masters of Light – From Vienna to Milan exhibition at Palazzo Citterio in Milan on Sunday. 

The actress, 43, looked incredibly stylish as she donned a black blazer mini dress for the event as part of Milan Fashion Week.

The star put on a very leggy display in the ensemble as she completed the look with some black tights and simple black heels. 

Appearing topless underneath the blazer, Jessica flashed a hint of cleavage and accessorised the look with a chunky silver choker necklace. 

Tucking her brunette locks behind her ears, she made sure to show off her matching extravagant silver earrings.  

The event comes after Jessica admitted that stepping down from The Honest Company was a ‘sad’ decision for her.

She announced her departure as Chief Creative Officer back in April after founding the brand over 12 years ago.

Jessica— who recently celebrated her daughter Honor’s sweet 16 — appeared on the What Now? with Trevor Noah podcast on Tuesday to explain that she ‘wanted to leave [the company] in a good place.’

‘When I realized that the business really needed the more kind of streamlined flow, and not the visionary flow, I had to start thinking about what that meant for my role, and it took me a hot minute to get there,’ she said.

‘I needed to leave it in hands that I knew it would be safe and with the right team,’ the Honey star shared.

The brunette beauty went on to say that she now felt she could ‘let my kid go off to college,’ and noted that leaving the company was a ‘sad’ decision.

‘It’s sad because, yeah, it’s a part of me. It’s a child. So I even like thinking about my kids all of my kids’ first day of kindergarten, I wept. 

‘You know? It’s like it’s a milestone. I don’t think it’s ever easy,’ the star said.

Jessica explained to host Noah, 40, that she is relearning to ‘sit in stillness’ and readjust to life following the transition.

‘It’s a weird journey thinking about, I guess, just this idea that I can be worthy of love or kindness or existence without achieving. You know?’ the actress said.

‘I remember when I was younger, I was like I just always felt like I needed to have a point. Like, what’s my point? Like, why do I exist? Like, why did God put me here?

‘I questioned that since I was probably 3 or 4,’ she went on. ‘I would say, “What’s my point?” to my parents? Like, “What’s the point of this?”‘ 

‘And I think I’ve sometimes, maybe my point or our point is to just, I don’t know, sit in stillness and, like, breathe. I’m learning how to do that,’ she finished.

When Jessica announced her departure on social media over two months ago she called The Honest Company her ‘true labor of love.’

‘It is with a grateful heart that twelve years after founding The Honest Company, I am stepping down from my leadership role as Chief Creative Officer,’ she stated in the post.

‘However, I will continue to provide strategic advice through my role on the board.’

‘Building Honest has been a true labor of love. From the first concept book I pitched to my friends in Mommy and Me class, to ringing the bell at Nasdaq with my family by my side — this journey has been the ride of a lifetime, one that only existed in my wildest dreams,’ she added.

‘To the entire Honest team, past and present, your unwavering commitment to our mission is the fuel that keeps us going.

‘Everyone always says you’re only as good as the people you surround yourself with — thank you for allowing me to be the best version of myself.’ she finished.

Jessica’s own history of childhood illnesses also made her want to create a company to provide alternatives to baby products with potentially harmful ingredients.
