However, Ellie has been winning fans over with how she’s starting to live a different life, far from their beliefs. Some even commended her for her latest rule-breaking outfit.

‘Bringing Up Bates‘: Ellie Bates Surprises Fans In Stunning Dress

Ellie previously took to IG to share photos and clips with her sister, Addallee. The Bringing Up Bates stars attended an event, and they both wore stunning dresses. But what caught the attention of many was how sexy their dresses were. Some even said their attire was out of their comfort zone, but they carried the dresses pretty well. Many of the Bates children have transitioned to worldly attire over the years. Regardless, they still advocate living conservative and religious lifestyles. Several fans even deemed them as mini versions of Carlin, Tori, and Michaela.

• “I have never seen a family with so many beautiful ladies including all the in-laws. Guess you can only be a Bates if you’re stunning. “
• “Y’all are stunning and what a gift to have a sister who is also your best friend!”
• “You guys are the mini versions of micheal & Carlin/tori🫶🏼(I guess not so mini if also grown up now) but still stunning.”

Ellie Wins Fans Over Rule-Breaking Outfit

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media react to Ellie’s latest IG clip. It features her heartwarming moments at Carlin’s house, babysitting her niece, Layla. The OP was surprised to see Ellie in pants. It made them question whether Gil and Kelly Jo had officially allowed wearing pants in the family, even indoors. Several commenters assume Gil and Kelly Jo have always allowed the kids to wear whatever they want when they’re at home. Others also believe that Gil and Kelly Jo are not as strict anymore since their show was cancelled. Regardless, many commend Ellie for embracing her own ways when it comes to fashion.

• “Gil and Kelly are just like Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. They don’t give a f**k about what their children do as long as they give them 100 grandchildren.”
• “I’m pretty sure the bates girls have always been allowed to wear sweat pants and pajama pants in the house as leisure wear.”
• “She’s in the house so it’s okay but she definitely pushes the envelope with her form fitting clothes and short skirts.”
• “You go girl ! I’m waiting for her to move in with Whitney and let it all hang loose.”
• “she has other pics on her ig where she is wearing pants out and about. I am glad she is able to do as she’d like with her clothing.”

‘Bringing Up Bates‘: Many Duggar Kids Still Prefer Traditional Clothing

Several commenters from the same Bringing Up Bates discussion thread also mentioned how many Duggar kids still wear “modest” clothing even indoors. Many agree that Jim Bob and Michelle are much more strict than Gil and Kelly Jo. The younger Duggar kids are less active on social media compared to the Bates children. But some of their most recent appearances online indicate that they’re still not considering embracing the worldly fashion the Bates are wearing today.

• “At least the Duggar girls are still being held to the skirt standard over there. Any time I see the younger girls on any of the Duggar videos they still wear skirts just like meech.”
• “Why would anyone want either the Duggars or Bates to continue to oppress their daughters with the dress/skirt mandate.”
• “Jessa just had a Christmas video posted, there’s a great bit of Josie going off on Henry in the background. But yes, they still are “modest”.”
