Daisy Duke mostly wore halter tops along with extra-tight denim cutoffs (which became widely known as “Daisy Dukes”). Daisy Duke was played by Catherine Bach; her cousins Bo and Luke Duke were played by John Schneider and Tom Wopat.

In a 2005 feature film version of The Dukes of Hazzard, Daisy Duke was played by pop singer Jessica Simpson.
