Ashlee Simpson is Born to Lead

Ashlee Simpson walks the gray carpet at the 2007 CosmoGIRL! Born to Lead Awards at NYC’s Hearst Tower on Tuesday. The 23-year-old singer/actress wore head-to-toe black — vintage Azzedine Alaia minidress, suede thigh-high Prada boots, scarf, and sheer arm and leg coverings.

This year’s celebrity honorees included Ashlee, Eva Amurri, Fall Out Boy, Jordin Sparks and Jonas Brothers. All were chosen for making their personal dreams come true or making a positive change in their communities. All winners represented today’s young leaders, givers, humanitarians, life-savers, and visionaries.

Father manager Joe Simpson (pictured below) was also on hand to support daughter Ashlee. Boyfriend Pete Wentz was at the awards too but didn’t pose for photos with Ashlee–he was with his own band Fall Out Boy.

Ashlee graces the cover of Cosmogirl! for their December 2007/January 2008 issue. Check out the new photos of Ashlee in the issue!
