Physical Appearances: Daisy is light skinned and blond, while Myrtle has a more swarthy complexion and dark hair. Daisy dresses mostly in white, which represents her cleanliness and purity, while Myrtle chooses vibrant colors that reflect her loud personality. Daisy is ethereal and graceful, while Myrtle is robust and brassy.

Upbringing/Class and Personality: Daisy has been raised in privilege, while Myrtle has had to claw and scratch for everything she has. Daisy considers her wealth her "due", while Myrtle's increase in status (through Tom) is fairly recent. Daisy is "old money," and therefore comes from "good breeding." Myrtle, much like Gatsby, is considered an upstart with no business hanging around with New York's elite. People with "class" shouldn't (gasp) EARN their money. People of class either inherit their cash or marry into it.
