From winning Australian Idol in 2006, starring in movies and representing our country at Eurovision and the Glasgow Commonwealth Games to becoming a judge for The Voice, this singer has made quite a life for herself.
However, there was a time before all the accolades and glamour when Jess was just like every other cute tot in Australia.
To ring in her 32nd birthday, she celebrated by posting an adorable throwback picture from 1991 onto her Instagram.

The epic picture of Jess as a toddler was taken outside at what appears to be a zoo, and she is wearing a cute red and white bow in her hair, which matches her red and white polka dot tulle dress.
She was also wearing a koala T-shirt and knew high socks, which was a very child of the 90s get up.
Jess captioned the post with a gracious message dedicated to her fans and friends who sent her much birthday love.
She wrote, “Wishing birthday love to all my fellow Leos and thanking everyone who has sent in birthday wishes! Feeling very, very grateful. Big love xx.”
