Lots of commenters over there (at TikTok) vote for "team grandma."
That video has over 5 million views, and the audio track is being used for other videos with their own variation on mother's clothes for daughter — utilitarian playclothes/tomboy style — and grandma's clothes — pink with frills.
Much of the opinion in the comments has to do with whether the child looks happy, but there's no way to know why the child is happy. It could be the clothes, but the videographer could have just told the child she's about to get candy or a new puppy.
And don't assume there really are a mother and a grandmother with these preferences. It's viral video and it could very well be that the "I" is dressing the child 2 ways is one person and that this person prefers the so-called "grandma" way.

She looks cute and happy in both, but really seems excited about how her feet sound on the boards. When you're a tiny, wee person, it is pretty exciting to be able to make a big, echo-y "clomp-clomp" noise.
To go to what activity? I think it matters, rather.
So much of popular culture is women telling each other they are doing things wrong, and are thus the wrong sort of woman. It must be maddening.
HOW do they know that they are a Daughter? If you ask them, they might be a Son
Better put them on puberty blockers, and chop off their breasts.. Just in case
One way is reality; the other way is fantasy. All children of that age are happy to live in both worlds because both worlds exist simultaneously. Santa can be spelled with the letters of fantasy. Alas, Santa is soon disbelieved because reality is the needed truth of life -- something Progressives, always reluctant and always grasshoppers, need to accept.
Children are not dolls we dress up. As the mom of a young girl, I see this all the time. Buying outfits that are expensive and impractical. As the get older, DD is 12, they become wildly inappropriate. What happened to play clothes and comfort. Neutral colors so the next kid can wear it. I never had tons of pink, I had Garanimals
Agree with Mary Beth—the styles are certainly different, but she’s cute in both and happy in both. I doubt she cares which she is wearing.
That hat will be lost in two minutes.
I'm so old girls in elementary school (late 40's) all wore dresses, some frilly, some not so much.
Thus the schoolyard rhyme "I see London, I see France _ _ _".
We are shopping for a "pink dress with sparkly things on it" as requested by our 4 year old grand daughter for her birthday.
You could dress that little girl in a burlap sack and she would look extremely cute and bring a smile to your face.
Small humans aren't here to choose sides. They are here to have fun and learn cool new stuff and make us, the parents, better humans.
I vote for both.
Let’s not kid ourselves. The jean jacket outfit was composed by a would-be influencer. Everything from tip to toe was curated by a mom working on her content…who maybe asked the grandma to pick up a contrasting outfit at Walmart. It’s all for the clicks.
Cute kid!
If you let them dress themselves you usually get cowboy boots, leggings, a tutu, a sparkly top and either a tiara or a cowboy hat.
Which is also fine.
