Jessica Simpson dons Daisy Duke shorts after struggle to lose baby weight

New York, September 22 (ANI): It's been a long seven years since Simpson sashayed around in denim short shorts on the set of the Dukes of Hazard movie.

And now - four months after giving birth to daughter Maxwell, the 32-year-old Fashion Star mentor ditched her plunging maxi dresses and shimmied back into skimpy Daisy Dukes for fiance Eric Johnson's 33rd birthday celebration in Santa Monica, Calif., on Thursday.

She wore platform heels to show off a pair of newly toned legs, the New York Daily News reported.

The new mom has said she gained 70 pounds during her pregnancy, giving in to cravings for sweets like "slutty brownies," a sinful mix of cookie dough, Oreo cookies and brownie dough, she told Katie Couric.

Simpson, who is a spokesperson for Weight Watchers, reportedly hit the gym for months to drop the pounds.

She recently said she was just 10 pounds from her pre-baby weight. (ANI)
