Jessie James Decker has found her confidence once again.
The 34-year-old slayed the runway on July 15 during a fashion show for her Kittenish By Jessie James Decker Swim label during Miami Swim Week.
Showing off her fit figure, Jessie worked the catwalk in a peach-colored bikini with gold details from her own collection, styled with sky-high gold platforms and a beach-worthy wavy hairstyle.
Jessie's husband of nine years, Eric Decker—with whom she shares Vivienne, 8, Eric II, 6, and Forrest Decker, 4—was on hand to support her big moment. The former NFL star and the "I Look So Good" singer were photographed backstage kissing after the fashion show.
While she radiated confidence on the runway, Jessie has been open about her "vulnerabilities," including her mental health, body image and self-esteem.
"I've been battling some body image issues and when I really think about it, I probably always have," she wrote on Instagram in June. "I go from one extreme to being obsessed with working out and being muscular and thin to just giving up and gaining because the food makes me feel better and then ultimately, it's a cycle that just gets worse again."
"I feel like I'm constantly in a battle with the rest of the industry to prove to them that I'm not just a TV personality or an influencer because that has outshined my music," she continued. "As a woman in 2022, I don't understand why I can't have a family, publish books, own a fashion brand, be an influencer, and do TV without being questioned if I take my music career seriously just because I've chosen to dream big."
After her candid post, which Eric called "inspiring and beautiful," Jessie told E! News' Daily Pop that by sharing her feelings, she felt "like a weight was lifted."
"It's been a couple years where I've just been having some things that happened and it really started to affect me," she said on June 27. "I've always been a really strong person and able to pretty much tackle anything, but I think it got to a place where all the outside things I was dealing with just got so heavy and it started to affect me and I wanted to address it with my fans because I think they started to notice."
