Her hairstyle is flipped with parted bangs, and it reaches past her shoulders in length. Her facial features include distinctive, round cheeks, a button nose, soft and natural lips, and large, round eyes with two thick, black lashes and long, curved eyebrows. | ||
Daisy usually wears a yellow, floor-length dress similar to Peach's, but with white and orange accents. It has puffy sleeves with white, petal-shaped openings, a white, petal-shaped collar, orange panniers at the waist, and two rows of orange frills at the base; in some games, there is a white petticoat underneath. She wears short, white gloves with petal-shaped openings and orange heels.

Especially throughout her early appearances, details of her design differed and varied until being set to a more common standard as of a redesign introduced with the release of ''Mario Party 4'' on the Nintendo GameCube in 2002. | ||
In her debut for ''Super Mario Land'' in 1989, her hair extended past her waist and covered her ears, and her crown was red with a single jewel on the front. The jewel of her crown had six petals and her earrings each had five. She had black eyes and jewels, and her floral collar was centered at the seam of the petals as opposed to the tip. Her dress had a white waistband, and there was a white dollop pattern along the bottom of it. In-game, Daisy's sprite was especially unremarkable, barely recognizable as anything beyond a girl with long hair wearing a dress. The Game Boy had very limited color support, with sprites using four shades of green or gray depending on the hardware version. Daisy's sprite used two shades instead of the available four, and lacked the implied highlighting, shading, and outlines used by many of the other sprites in the game. Mario had a similarly lower detailed sprite like Daisy's, but he also had more unique frames of animation than any other model. | |||
In ''NES Open Tournament Golf'' in 1991, she was shown with blue eyes and jewels, as well as yellow slippers. Daisy and Peach wore miniskirts as opposed to their previous floor-length dresses, and they lacked their crowns. They were also shown to be the same height and were seemingly body-doubles in size and stature. In-game, as was common with the limitations of video game console hardware of the time, Daisy's sprite appearance wildly differed from her look in artwork. Her hair was blond, like Peach's, and her dress was blue, with many of the smaller details of her design being distorted or inaccurate as well. Different releases of the game, such as the international version compared to the Japanese one, and even the [[Nintendo PlayChoice-10|arcade]] release, ''Mario's Open Golf'', made slight adjustments to these sprites, but this did little to correct such errors and they remained mostly inaccurate to her intended appearance as inferred from the art. | |||
In ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' on the Nintendo 64 in 2000, Daisy was given a darker hair and skin color, being depicted with a notably deeper skin-tone than other characters in the game like Peach and [[Baby Mario]]. Including Daisy, many of the in-game models like those of Mario and Wario depicted the characters with pale skin despite their official renders showing the contrary; this was also despite [[Transfer Pak]] characters like [[Harry]] and [[Alex]] retaining theirs. She still sported a mini skirt, as has been common with Peach's appearances in sport games, but she didn't have a crown on despite Peach wearing hers again. Instead of the previous slippers, Daisy and Peach wore matching orange sneakers with a yellow strap and white tube socks. | |||
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Daisy was depicted with a long dress and a crown again for the first time since her debut. Artwork showed her crown to be pink instead of the original red, an oval, yellow jewel was on the front, with six white, floral petals around it, and on the sides of her crown were round, blue jewels. Art renders also depicted her wearing orange heels, and with her earrings having five, white petals around them with blue jewels in the center that matched the blue of her brooch. Her in-game model depicted the crown as red again, her heels a matching red, and the jewels of her earrings and brooch were more greenish than blue. The jewel on the front of her crown lacked the floral details on this model, and her earrings had six petals instead of the usual five. Unlike in ''Mario Tennis'', her tan was retained in-game and on the promotional materials alike. This was also the first time Daisy was determinably shorter than Peach, as they previously shared a body type, but now had completely unique models.<ref>[[Media:Peach Daisy side by side MP3.png|''Mario Party 3'' screen-shot.]]</ref> | |||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' on the Nintendo GameCube in 2001, most characters' appearances were derived from their looks on the Nintendo 64, and Daisy's was based on hers from ''Mario Party 3'' in particular. The only notable difference between her Trophy appearance and her artwork of the time was how her jewels used a multi-colored tone encompassing both the blue colors typical of her art and the green tones found on her in-game model, as well as additional hints of magenta on the edge, depicting an overall iridescent appearance unique to this game that was somewhat in-line with the more detailed, realistic style of the models in ''Melee''. Princess Peach's alternate costume in this game takes on not just Daisy's color palette at the time, but also unique details of her costume like the floral motif and the dress' pattern, and it includes some unique details like shoes that match her jewels instead of the previously red or orange heels from ''Mario Party 3'', and a white parasol akin to Peach's others in this game specifically; this Daisy costume is depicted again on the Peach (Smash 2) trophy. | |||
With the graphical changes from the Nintendo 64 to the Nintendo GameCube, starting with ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', Daisy's appearance changed further and established a more consistent design for her that has remained mostly unchanged compared to the periodically shifting details from her initial appearances. This design change made some aspects of her appearance more similar to Peach's, like giving her a gold crown instead of a red or pink one, dress details like panniers and ruffles on the bottom that replaced the white waistband and dollop pattern, and reverting Daisy's skin to a lighter tone. Some more unique features were implemented, as well, like giving her shorter, more uniquely styled hair, adding orange as her primarily defining color, and establishing a definitively more unique physique, as well as retaining the green jewel color as opposed to the previously more common blue ones. | |||
For the most part, Daisy's design has been stable and unchanged throughout the years since the major update. There are times where her hair may be a brighter or darker shade of orange, and her skin-tone sometimes has varied between a pale white and a light tan, but more recently, as of ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' in 2021, Daisy's design was given back a more unique, notably tanned skin-tone, and Nintendo has been revising old renders to solidify this skin-tone as well as a more consistent, deeply hued and shaded color of orange hair.<ref>https://twitter.com/daisy_hourly/status/1711682991821300126</ref> | |||
