Kylie Kelce Defends Short Homecoming Dresses

Kylie Kelce is entering the homecoming dress conversation.

Kelce, 33, discussed the viral online conversation surrounding the length of teen girls’ homecoming dresses in the “doom scroll of the week” portion of her Not Gonna Lie podcast on Thursday, Sept. 25.

“I’ve seen a lot of TikToks from older generations sharing their disapproval of the types of dresses they see high school girls wearing for their homecoming dances,” the mom of four began. She then deferred to TikTok user @withlottie, who shared a video on the topic on Sept. 8.

“I’ll tell you one thing’s for sure, two things for certain. If you guys saw what I wore to homecoming in the year of our Lord 2015, you would be sick. Wet Seal – you would be sick and disgusted. I’m talking Charlotte Russe, stiletto heel platform this big,” she said, gesturing to the size of a thick platform heel.

“Dress so tight you can’t wear underwear. I’m talking short, tight. Like, hello? I saw so many TikToks being like, ‘The homecoming dresses this year are crazy.’ I go look it up – girl. Did you ever step into a Wet Seal? Just let the teenage girls be teenage girls,” Lottie concluded her TikTok video, referencing the popular dress trends in the mid-2010s.

After playing the clip, Kylie said the TikTok user “left no crumbs,” adding that “it does crack me up that for some reason, as we get older, I think that people have a tendency of forgetting that they were once them.”

She seemingly mimicked one parent’s complaint and said, “‘I can’t believe that my 17-year-old child snuck a beer out of our fridge.’ ”

“What’d you sneak?” she added. “Tell me right now. What did you sneak, guys? We can’t forget where we came from.”

She then clarified that although she didn’t have the high school homecoming experience herself, she was no stranger to wearing “a Charlotte Russe bodycon skirt … with a tank top tucked into it” in college.

She went on to say that her father would speak out if he ever deemed her teenage outfit choices inappropriate.

At 5’11, Kelce recalled that “every single time I left the house in what was a normal article of clothing in the proper size, my father would say, ‘Try again,’ and he would point up the steps. And I would say, ‘it’s your fault that my legs are this long. And it’s not that the article of clothing is too short. It’s that my leg in comparison makes the shorts or skirt, or dress look too short.’ ”

Kelce then quipped, “And I still wasn’t making it out of the house in that.”

“The TikTocker said, ‘Let teenage girls be teenage girls.’ I can live by that until my girls are teenage girls, and then we’ll see if I have a change of heart there. So, I don’t know. We’ll find maybe we’ll find out together,” she added, before concluding, “No, we won’t. I won’t be caught podcasting then.”
