‘Counting On’ Alum Kendra Duggar’s Complete Style Evolution From Conservative Teen to Modern Mama

From conservative teen to modern mama! Joseph Duggar‘s wife, Kendra Duggar (née Caldwell), has had quite the style evolution.

Although the Counting On alum has rarely worn pants publicly — unless it’s under a skirt, of course — the mom of three has made updates to her wardrobe over the years. For example, while the brunette babe was pregnant with baby No. 2, she shared photos rockin’ cute maternity dresses and sandals.

So Much for That Dress Code! Almost All the Duggar Girls Have Worn Pants

In an April 2019 snap, one fan asked, “I love your dress, where did you get it from?” referring to the gorgeous soft pink frock worn by the reality starlet. Another echoed, “What a beautiful family! Kendra, where did you get your dress? It’s so pretty!” while a third added, “Love that dress!” Unfortunately, we never did find out where she got the little number, but our bets are on Amazon, which is where many of the other Duggar girls shop. Or perhaps cousin Amy Duggar‘s boutique!

Although Kendra — who shares son Garrett and daughters Addison and Brooklyn with Joe — married into the family, it seems as though her modesty aligns with mother-in-law Michelle Duggar. Back in 2013, Michelle said in an interview with TLC that there’s a reason the women in the family dress the way they do.

“Our interpretation [of modesty is] that from the neck down to the knee should be covered. By keeping those private areas covered, there’s not any ‘defrauding’ going on,” the matriarch explained at the time. “My kids are taught the definition of defrauding as stirring up desires that cannot be righteously fulfilled. We don’t believe in defrauding others by the way we dress.”

Kendra’s similar view on modesty may have won her extra points with her in-laws, and both Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle have sung her praises in the past. Celebrating her 23rd birthday on social media in April 2021, the Duggar patriarch and his wife wrote of Kendra, “You are sunshine every day! We love you!!”
