Creative Lorelai & Rory Costume Ideas For Halloween 2017 That Every 'Gilmore Girls' Fan Will Understand

Watching Gilmore Girls is easy, but dressing like a Gilmore Girl for Halloween is even easier — with a little help. This year, dress up in the most creative Lorelai and Rory costumes to really surprise your friends who are sick of your obsession with the show by now. Even better, they aren't too hard to put together, making these Gilmore Girls costumes perfect for any last minute parties. It would be very Lorelai of you.

Some of these costumes will recreate Lorelai and Rory's most iconic lewks, including that laundry day outfit Lorelai rocked on Rory's first day of school. (Emily Gilmore is probably still having nightmares about those denim cut-offs.) Other costumes may be a little less iconic, but still recognizable. After all, who could forget Rory's Quentin Tarantino-themed outfit for Finn's birthday party? And who doesn't want to swing a chain mace while pretending to be Rory Gilmore? I know I do.

Every one of these DIY costumes will have you channeling your favorite Gilmore Girls outfits from the first season to the revival. Don't worry, though, there are no bucket hats. That's just cruel. But maybe you should grab a friend to help you complete the set, because two Gilmores is always better than one.

9. That Damn Rory

For the episode, "That Damn Donna Reed," Rory dresses up like an idealized housewife after Dean gets upset over her criticism of Donna Reed. Clearly, this was never going to be Rory or any woman, since Donna Reed is a product of a time when women were supposed to serve their men. That's why you should serve a platter filled with feminist literature.

10. Kill Bill Rory

If you've dressed as Rory before, you may have most of this costume. After all, to become Gogo Yubari, she just used her Chilton uniform. But, with this costume you also get to carry a chain mace, which is pretty damn cool.

11. Rory & Her Magic Hammer

In need of some volunteering experience, Rory decides to join Habitat for Humanity. Lorelai being Lorelai gives her daughter a very fancy hammer, which you can make yourself with a little hot glue and a pink pom-pom. Who knows? It might inspire you to build something.

13. Rory the Reporter

While her reporting skills are hard to defend — no, you should never fall asleep during an interview or sleep with a subject — her red dress is definitely something everyone could get behind, even if it didn't bring her as much luck as she hoped. To nail this look, don't forget to carry multiple phones. Oh, and feel free to print out a copy of Rory's New Yorker piece, because you know Luke would.
