“Ozempic Helped”: Jessica Simpson Flaunts Daisy Dukes Look After 100-lb Drop Thanks To ‘Walking’

Jessica Simpson has slipped back into her iconic Daisy Dukes denim shorts two decades after first wearing them, and fans are swooning over how little she seems to have changed.

Since popularizing the cheeky cut-offs, the actress and singer has birthed three children, packed on the weight that comes with pregnancy, weathered a high-profile separation from husband Eric Johnson, and endured yo-yo dieting and on again off again training regimens.

Yet the photo that has tongues wagging portrays Simpson, now 43, as a spitting image of her 24-year-old self, and some suggest she looks better than when she was younger.

In the photo posted to Instagram, the actress shows off her slim figure in scant bottoms, a plunging leopard print sleeveless top, along with red platform sandals.

Her blond mop is loose in much the same fashion as she wore it in the Dukes of Hazard, making her almost identical to her character, Daisy Duke.

“Cut denim blues and red shoes are this Summers go-tos,” she captioned the photo and drew responses like:

“So beautiful and gorgeous, especially wearing them in the Dukes of Hazard movie.”

“Daisy Duke, is that you?” asked another, as a nod to her 19-year-old character.

She kept a daily 14,000-step regimen

But the picture of youth and fitness did not come without tribulation. During her pregnancy with her youngest, Daisy Mae, her weight tipped the scales at 260 lbs.

Following the child’s birth in May 2019, Simpson took a short period to recover before starting with a 6,000-step walking regimen, which soon escalated to 14,000.

“It’s not easy at all, but I am determined to feel good,” she told People during an interview in the same year.

Social media comment asking if someone is Daisy Duke, referencing Ozempic helped weight loss transformation.

“I have been doing a lot of walking, getting my steps in not only burns calories but it also helps me clear my head and get focused.”

Her efforts resulted in her shedding 100 lbs. in six months

The next step was full body workouts every second day with celebrity personal trainer, Harley Pasternak.

The fitness guru gave an interview of their own E! News and talked about the exercises Simpson was doing, saying:

“We started with doing a full-body workout, one set of each exercise, not really doing too much intensity per body part and gradually increasing the volume and intensity.”

All of this effort resulted in Simpson shedding 100lbs over a period of six months.

She celebrated the milestone in one of her regular updates saying: “My first trip away from #BIRDIEMAE and emotional for many reasons, but so proud to feel like myself again. Even when it felt impossible, I chose to work harder.”

She decided that since everyone was discussing her weight, she would make money off of it

Around three years later, in 2022, she opened up to Extra TV about the challenges she faced on her weight loss journey.

“I’ve been criticized, and it hurts, but I’ve been every weight and I’ve been proud of it.”

But it was not without a silver lining: “I decided, ‘Okay, everybody is going to talk about my weight all the time, I might as well make money off of it and turn it into a business of selling clothes and acceptance.”

As a nod to the latter, the recent photo was part of an advertising effort by her brand The Jessica Simpson Collection, which was launched during the same year of the movie that gave the shorts the name.

Social media was not impressed with her recent return to the live stage

The actress put in her first live stage appearance in May this year at the Season 23 finale of American Idols.

Bored Pandareported that she serenaded audiences with her 2005 remake of Nancy Sinatra’s These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ and her new single Blame Me.

Social media was not entirely pleased with her performance, with some dubbing it “messy” and “a joke.”
