About Some Popular TikTok Stars
Hearing the names of Dixie D’Amelio and Kendall Jenner in the same sentence may be a bit odd, but fans have called Dixie out for some pretty risky behavior recently. Before we jump into it, be sure to hit that like button so we know who Dixie’s real friends are.
Who is Dixie D’Amelio?
Dixie D’Amelio is an incredibly popular TikTok star who found massive success after joining the Hype House group of creators in late 2019. Dixie joined TikTok after her sister had already started to become famous on the app, with Dixie finding over 20 million followers within the first few months of joining the app. She owes her success to her sister in some ways, but Dixie has been working diligently to carve her path on TikTok, rather than live in the shadow of her sister. Since joining the app, she has spread her success to other platforms as well, most using Instagram and Twitter to keep in touch with her fans. According to a few online resources, she is the 17th most-followed creator on TikTok. More recently, Dixie has been working alongside a handful of YouTube creators to expand her reach even further. She plans to keep pursuing a career in the entertainment industry and shows no signs of slowing down.
In her early life, she grew up alongside her sister and her parents in Norwalk, CT. In high school, she worked very hard in athletics and played lacrosse as well as ran track. During this time Dixie had already started work on her Instagram profile and was becoming reasonably popular, though her shift to TikTok is what truly launched her career. Her parents Heidi and Marc have been very supportive of both Dixie and Charli and they hope the two can find what they are looking for on the platform. Their parents have appeared in several interviews recently and are always showing up to cheer their daughters on and make sure they are satisfied with the direction their life is going. They also helped Dixie and her sister sign with the talent agency UTA in January of this year.
When Dixie joined TikTok, her sister was already well on her way to becoming one of the app’s quickest growing stars – a trend that continues to this day. Dixie was able to jump on board just in time to find her success and she is doing very well for herself today, commonly collaborating with many of the same creators as Charli. She has been featured in events alongside her sister and Addison Rae – another wildly popular TikTok creator.
Dixie’s Rise In Popularity
Dixie has been working to build a social media following for quite some time. Though, her younger sister, Charli, is the one that introduced her to TikTok. Charli had been creating videos on TikTok for several months before Dixie began to take notice of the app. She doesn’t seem to have been incredibly interested in the app at first, but after seeing the success her sister found on the platform, she began to post videos as well. The two have appeared in videos together quite often, and much of Dixie’s rise to success can be attributed to Charli’s popularity on TikTok. Though, this doesn’t take away from the massive amount of work and effort that Dixie put in. She has worked very hard over the past year to grow her online viewership and seems to be growing very quickly. She has made friends across the country and is always collaborating with other creators in an attempt to share followers.
Just a few years ago, it wouldn’t be incredibly uncommon to see fellow creators competing with one another to see who can reach the top of the charts more quickly. Though, it seems that there has been a major cultural shift regarding internet followers. Many artists, such as Charli and Dixie, seem to be collaborating with people much more often than creators have done in the past. It seems as though online creators have finally started to realize that we are much stronger as a collective than as individuals – and this is true for social media fans as well. If two creators have massive followings but cater to entirely different audiences, it makes perfect sense that, if the two collaborate, they could virtually double their viewership. Oddly, it took creators and fans such a long time to realize this, but we are incredibly happy to see that Dixie and Charli are setting a new standard for what it means to be a collaborator. The sheer volume of content these girls put out is astounding, but to also see them working on content with other creators is amazing.
We can all learn a lot from Dixie’s success, especially since she and Charli are constantly collaborating and sharing fans and viewers. These girls seem to have their heads on straight and are working hard to continue being two of TikTok’s biggest rising stars.
Controversy Between Dixie and the Jenner Family
Most major TikTok stars tend to keep their heads above water and don’t let themselves get too involved with drama and conflict. Though, it seems like Dixie D’Amelio may have unknowingly invited controversy into her life and potentially carved a wedge between herself and the Jenner family. Dixie has been active on Instagram for many years and is constantly posting new photos and videos of herself enjoying her day to day life. Though, more recently, she has been involved in a fair amount of controversy with her fans, who seem to insist that she has been copying Kendall Jenner.
Kendall Jenner is a 24-year-old who has been in the modeling and social media business for many years. She first found fame when she began appearing in the television show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. When she was just 14-years-old, her modeling career officially began, leading her to become the worldwide phenomenon we know and love today. Kendall is currently expected to be the world’s top-paid model, making several million dollars per year from her modeling career. Kendall has been incredibly active on social media and is easily one of the world’s most popular social media influencers. The number of companies she has worked with is unreal and she continually works to top her previous posts, bringing in new fans and new funds with every upload.
She is most commonly regarded for her involvement in the makeup business and the various brands she endorses. This has led to many of her photos showing herself wearing a new brand of makeup or a new type of specialty clothing. This is where things between Kendall and Dixie get a bit interesting. It’s no secret that Kendall has been posting controversial makeup images to Instagram and other social media websites for many years. It’s not uncommon to see some of her fans attempt to mimic her style, but some of Dixie’s fans seem to believe that Dixie is deliberately copying Kendall as a way to cash in off of her success. We don’t have enough evidence to claim this ourselves, but fans seem to be convinced that Dixie has been stealing her style and appearance from Kendall for many months. While these are some very serious allegations, we can understand where fans and viewers are coming from.
This is backed by several photos that Dixie has posted on various websites in which she appears to be wearing the exact clothing as Kendall, wearing the same makeup design as Kendall, or even mimicking her expressions or hairstyle. This has been very off-putting for some fans who can’t seem to decide whether the fashion choices have been intentional or if Dixie is just heavily influenced by Kendall.
Dixie’s Copycat Tactics
Several images have been posted online by fans who insist that they have undeniable proof that Dixie has been copying Kendall. A few of these photos have been proven to be fakes, but many of them are very real and we can’t deny the similarities between the two.

A Twitter user recently spoke out against both Dixie and Addison Rae, claiming that the two had deliberately copied a post that was made by Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. In the image, we can see Dixie and Addison staring at each other in front of a beach. It’s a beautiful photo of the two and shows off each of their natural beauties and their love for one another. On its own, this is all around a very heartwarming photo of two friends hanging out and having a good time. Though, the context of this photo suddenly changes when you realize that Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid posted a nearly-identical photo previously. The two may not have been on a beach, but they were positioned in a very similar way, with dark-haired Kendall on the left and light-haired Gigi on the right. In Dixie’s photo, dark-haired Dixie was on the left and Addison was on the right. The two were also similarly staring at each other and even had the same black and white filter applied to the image after it was taken. This seems a bit too similar to be a simple coincidence.
This wouldn’t be that big of an issue if it was a single occurrence, but a Twitter user named Luisa posted several images that show how Dixie and Addison seem to be directly copying Kendall and Gigi. In another image, Dixie and Addison are looking at each other as they approach a beach on a boat. A similar photo was posted by Kendall and Gigi with the two staring out across the ocean water. The next image shows Dixie and Addison sharing a pizza – paired with an image of Kendall and Gigi sharing pizza. Another photo show’s Dixie and Addison hanging out at a sports game together, with a paired photo of Kendall and Gigi hanging out at a sports game together. The list that Luisa posted goes on and on and there are over a dozen similar images between the two. We still cannot say for sure that these images were intentionally created to copy Kendall and Gigi, but the evidence is pretty compelling
The Final Verdict
We are interested to know what you guys think about the Dixie/Addison and Kendall/Gigi conspiracy. Let us know if you feel like it is legitimate, or if these photos are pure coincidences. It’s easy to see both sides of this argument. On one hand, Luisa makes a very good point in showing that the relationship between Dixie and Addison is eerily similar to the relationship between Kendall and Gigi. Though, it can also be said that the two are simply partaking in events and public gatherings that are incredibly common for people of this financial status. We can’t say that there is any one particular photo that shows irrefutable evidence that Dixie has been copying Kendall, but we can understand how many fans may get this impression.

At the end of the day, it’s highly likely that all four of these guys have similar friendships to one another. They are each a part of the entertainment and modeling business, so it makes sense that they would go to similar places and take similar photos. Though, we have to mention that Dixie appeared in an interview recently and was asked about her style. More specifically, she was asked who she would consider being her celebrity style icon. Her answer: Kendall Jenner.
