Dixie, alongside Charlie, recently introduced their footwear brand. Charlie caught everyone's attention during the launch event by donning a glamorous sequin animal-print dress complemented by stylish black platform sandals.

Although Dixie has not spoken about her recent ambulance ride and hospitalization, she has been transparent about her ongoing health struggles in the past.

In October 2022, the songwriter candidly revealed her seven-year battle with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a condition she had been unaware of until then. She described how PMDD profoundly impacts various aspects of her life, explaining, "[PMDD] affects your moods and behavior and many different parts of your life."

Dixie's revelation about her medical condition came a month after her shocking hair transformation. In a bold move, the TikTok sensation embraced a buzzcut, bidding farewell to her iconic long locks. She went on to debut her edgy hairstyle at the prestigious Harper's Bazaar's Icons party during New York Fashion Week, leaving spectators in awe.

This drastic change served as a stark contrast to the well-known long hairstyles sported by both Dixie and her younger sister, Charlie, ever since they skyrocketed to fame on TikTok in early 2020.

In a YouTube video released in September 2022, the rising star confessed, "I've wanted to do this since like sixth grade."
