The head way: Ever changing and never changing
Straight brown hair, worn in over a million different ways throughout eight seasons. That is Rory Gilmore and her locks for you. Alexis Bledel, who starred in other acclaimed shows like The Handmaid’s Tale, has been a proud brunette all her life.
So, whether it was bangs or the retro look with the Notebook inspired dress, Rory killed it. The classic middle-partition with the 90s bellbottom jeans became the rage, thanks to a confident teenager rocking the look outside school.

Clothes and the wardrobe are a win
If you’re into satin, polka dots, fringes, flower prints or anything that screams night out with sophistication, you have come to the right place for some styling inspiration. Rory’s mother might not lead a life filled with galas and parties, but her grandparents were the old-school type.
One of the looks that stood out for Rory and is still considered a classic is a black polka dot midi with bow tie heels that she chose to wear for her 21st birthday party.

Rory loves layering. While she never said this explicitly, one can always guess from the various outfits the younger Gilmore has worn for eight seasons. Blazers is something that she proved, can be worn with anything and everything.
Rory loves a good, warm-knit sweater, and turtlenecks with cargo pants are something that she made sure women knew about. And being an old-soul, the beauty of the grandma-inspired sweater can never go out of style, not as long as Rory is wearing it. But look beyond Rory’s closet, and you might find something in the gorgeous bedroom of hers. Here are some styling tips to make your house look like a dreamscape too.

The inside of the Gilmore world: The interiors
The Gilmore girls have gone through so many changes in their personal life, so a transformation of their personal space is precisely what they did. Rory’s room has floral wallpapers, making all the doubts one has about a wall covered with flowers fly away effortlessly.
And just like her character, Rory’s bedroom is filled with bold pattern choices. An eclectic bedroom with patchwork quilt and cushion patterns to boot, it can be a style-inspiration for anyone afraid of going big with colours.
