It's been 17 years since Jessica Simpson posed in her underwear with a Swiffer Wet Jet for the cover of Rolling Stone, where she was dubbed "Housewife of the Year."

Now, the "Irresistible" singer -- who is a mother of three -- is reclaiming her old title for a COVID-19 update.

Posing with a Swiffer and its cleaning pads, as well as a bottle of Lysol, box of rubber gloves and a scrub brush on Wednesday, Simpson cheekily captioned her makeup-free photo, "Housewife of the Year looks a little different these days."

It also should be noted that there's a vacuum propped up behind her, showing that a housewife's work is never done, especially during a pandemic where every surface must be sanitized.

On top of throwing in additional cleaning supplies, the "Open Book" author traded in the pink pumps and flirty undergarments for calico-colored slippers and a ripple effect onesie, along with a matching blue and white bandana.

Things have radically changed for Simpson since her memorable 2003 magazine cover. Back then, she was starring alongside ex-husband Nick Lachey in their reality TV show "Newlyweds" and her song "With You" was atop the U.S. Mainstream Top 40 list.

Nowadays, she's a New York Times bestselling author and is focused on her clothing line when she's not doting on her three children: 8-year-old Maxwell, 7-year-old Ace and 1-year-old Birdie Mae.

On top of that, she's been using her free time to comfort fans during the COVID-19 pandemic, encouraging everyone last Wednesday to pray with her "for the leaders around the world including our president, governors, mayors, politicians, scientists, doctors, and all healthcare workers."
