Rory Gilmore: The Original Downtown Girl

When people think of Gilmore Girls they typically think of the show's staples. Coffee and junk food, the autumnal aesthetics, an extensive repertoire of pop culture references and quotes that define the livelihoods of fans everywhere - these are the things that make Gilmore Girls Gilmore Girls.

Fashion is slowly traipsing behind its sisters in the elements that create this outstanding show. Suffice to say, the lookbooks of the Gilmore Girls are stunning and character defining in many ways. From the elegant and 'old money' looks of Emily Gilmore to the wild and eclectic collection of clothes accumulated by Lorelai. Throughout the show, the bookish high achiever and kind-hearted Rory has a style that differs from the generations of Gilmores before her, and it is arguable that she defined an entire aesthetic of clothing in our modern world: the Downtown Girl.

The two staples of Rory Gilmore's style are long sleeved henley tops and low rise flare jeans. She usually pairs the two together with a pair of converse, creating a comfortable and casual look. Rory also is often depicted wearing long sleeved, tight fitting turtlenecks, thick oversized jumpers, cardigans and tank tops, alongside a mini skirt. Over the top of her plain yet pretty outfits, she often wears a zip up hoodie, trench coat or (most commonly) a corduroy, fur lined jacket. Overall, Rory's style is the epitome of the Downtown Girl aesthetic - cosy and simplistic whilst still retaining a fashionable allure.

Her colour palette usually comprises reds, browns, blues and white - a dark and autumnal scheme that compliments her dark brown hair and make her blue eyes appear more prominent. However, these aren't the only colours Rory wears throughout the show, with pink, green and yellow all also making the occasional appearance in her lookbook.

Although most of her outfits contain solid, colour block pieces, Rory also can be seen frequently sporting floral or stripy tops alongside the occasional argyle jumper or plaid skirt. She doesn't usually mix and match these patterns, sticking to one per outfit which prevents her outfits from appearing jarring or too disjointed.

In terms of nightwear, throughout the show, Rory is shown to wear patterned button down pyjamas in a whole assortment of colours from beige to magenta. The unusual patterns that appear on Rory's pyjamas vary. They typically are of some kind of food (ranging from ice cream to donuts to pie) but a few are instead of other patterns, such as comic strips or snowflakes. Her eclectic pyjama collection displays Rory's personality perfectly, and further emphasises her similarities to her mother Lorelai and the often childish nature of their relationship.

Rory Gilmore will forever remain the original Downtown Girl, her outfits helping to formulate the style of a whole generation of Gilmore Girls addicts everywhere. Despite the fact that Rory (arguably) had a downfall in terms of her personality following season 3, it's safe to say that her outfits never fail to impress and will be admired for years to come.

A Year In the Mess and the Millennial Cross Rory Bears. WINTER

Let's address the elephant in the room while I have you front and center. Rory in A Year in The Life was a commentary on millennials. Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator, confirmed this was the inspiration for Rory's turn in AYITL. Rory was saddled with all the complaints the previous generations have of millennials such as millennials are spoiled, entitled, privileged blah blah blah. Hey now, now that we have not one but two generations under us I do understand the desire to complain (and be terrified). Gen Z and Gen Alpha general aesthetic is to be Billie Eilish lite as in angry, depressed, violent, or, antisocial. They have the lowest attention span recorded in human history and Taylor Swift is their greatest philosopher. Jesus take the wheel

The problem? None of this was in Rory Gilmore 1.0-character DNA. Matter of fact who the hell was Rory in the revival?! What the hell happened to her? We don't know. The Palladino's don't even bother expanding on it, but who does?! When it comes to Millennials we're to be mocked not understood. Most millennials came of age where there was a horrible job, house market and were in an economic recession. Our lives were being taken over by technology and social media. Rory picked a profession that was still mostly print at the time of her college graduation.... this is an entirely digital market now and one readers now pay for if they want something of substance. How lucrative is a real authentic journalism career? Not just think pieces or a seat on CNN or Fox News roundtable?

This is why A Year in the Life was a Mess

Believe me, I wanted to love it. This is my childhood we're talking about here. I loved Stars Hallow. Love my Gilmores. Yet, when I finally tuned I did so when just a hint of dread.....gradually all my fears were realized. Thus after 6.2 hours concluded somehow, we got somewhere, nowhere, found out little, nothing at all, were satisfied and just plain frustrated. So, let's break this mess down by episode. While mainly I will cover how the revival failed Rory - I will mention other frustrations because I can.

Winter

Why is Rory only in town for a day?! She's gotta leave for London soon. What has she been doing?! Ok, she's written a piece in the New Yorker, but how does that work?! Are you on staff? Do you submit freelance pieces and they choose them? She's a good writer, she's always been a good writer, and she's shown she is capable of running a paper - why is she struggling?! They doubled down on the millennial annoyance by having Rory abandoned Brooklyn as it was going condo and Lena Dunham. Subtle.

Super-Proud Luke is and always will be cute and Rory is so his kid. He's now a subscriber to The New Yorker which he reads every week just to support Rory. Also, he's attached her article to his menus so everyone can read it. Which she treats as cringe instead of sweet and supportive, but I'll let it go. Luke, Lorelai and Rory really are found family and super adorable.

Yes, the bit about everyone forgetting Paul is funny but THIS ISN'T RORY?! Paul seems genuinely sweet and thoughtful not just to Rory but her whole family so why are we doing this? Again, this is someone's depiction of a millennial. I guess we're really shitty to great guys. Rory had never been previously depicted as self-centered jerk just slightly oblivious as well all are.

It's a thrill to see all the old characters make a cameo.

The loss of Ed Herrmann was a gut punch to his cast. You can tell. It's also serves as a gut punch to the audience. We will miss you old chap. Rory following Emily around at the repast is the first hint of old Rory we've seen on this show yet.

It also serves as another wasted opportunity. No one except Emily seems to be genuinely affected by Richard's passing. The Gilmores are a small family, but a tight one. The patriarch passing surely would've affected all three gilmore girls deeply. It would've been better had we found Rory on a cooperate writing staff in London (employed by Logan) that she quit to spend more time at home to support her mother and grandmother. It would've been nice had Richard's passing compelled her into finding meaning beyond professional success. It would've been nice if they showed her pursuing something related to Richard from a journalistic perspective. They could've showed her on the road chasing a story to run into Jess or Dean or hell any of the countless characters. SOMETHING. Instead, we got spiraling millennial which is continuing to just seem misguided.

Berta and her roving family is trash and I didn't need them.

Emily starts in on Rory current state of homelessness which bring me to my next point of contention..... How is Rory broke?! She's had Trixie/Gran, her grandparents, Logan, Luke and her father?! I don't care that she's privileged unlike a lot of the privileged but not as privilege youtubers who enjoy spitefully and bitterly complaining. Despite what these grips say no, Rory's success has never come easily to her. The reality she was studying and investing her teenage years in academic pursuits while Rory's haters were partying or watching TV. Rory's always been resourceful and yet can't find a way to make a steady income in addition to writing. What's going on?

April/ Knock-off Rory is annoying, and it doesn't escape me that Luke prefers Rory. I'm glad hehehe. I mean he has a kid biologically and yet he considers going to Rory's graduation as going to his kids graduation. Side note: I know the creators would like to pretend that season 7 never happened but what are we doing here?! LnL have seriously never talked about having kids in the last 9 freakin' years?! Well at least we know why..... miscommunication and we needed a way to write medical Paris Geller into the story. Surrogacy is actually perfect for a medical student that doesn't actually like sick people.

Paris Geller ah I love this cold-hearted little psycho.

Okay Rory is writing a book with a queer drunk brit who steals food from other people, this is who she wrote her New Yorker piece on. This is the depiction of the feminist on the show.

I love Logan and I Love Rogan, but WHAT ARE WE DOING?! Why are they both having affairs with people they don't care about. Rory cheated once? twice?......okay Rory is a cheater, but why?

Paris and Doyle but of course they did! Can't have a happy couple in Stars Hallow or anywhere near it for long. I can see them having problems though because they've always had problems and sexually resolved them. Plus, in Paris's ideal functioning world she's married to Rory and Doyle.

WHY DOES RORY GILMORE HAVE ALL OF HER SHIT ACROSS FIVE HOMES?! How much stuff does she have? Honestly. Rory was always organized. At this point we've just got a personality transplant.

Once again, this is the main problem with the revival. None of this is behavior or characteristics we've associated with Rory. It's insert millennial here from a jaded baby boomer.

This is exhausting....................................... and I'm gonna have to take this in shifts. Next up spring.

Side note: Christmas here would be amazing and so charming.
