Stars Hollow Style: Greatest Hits Volume 2 (S2 E21 “Lorelai's Graduation Day”)

0:00 I am all in follow Let's just you mo Lo Stars Hollow Style with Easton Allen an iHeartRadio podcast.

0:22 Hi everyone, that was the sound of Scott Patterson's voice, and this is the sound of Easton Allen's voice. I am your host for the next fifteen minutes, maybe maybe a bit more with the ads. This is Stars Hollow Style. We're breaking down the fashion of Gilmour Girls episode by episode. We continue here in sequence. We're going in order. Last week we talked about season two episode twenty This week, drumroll please, Season two episode twenty one Morelef's graduation day. Man, you guys, this is a big episode. There's a lot of great outfits. I kept having to stop every two seconds and write furiously. I pulled out my pen and paper.

1:07 I was writing out what I love. There's so much great stuff to talk about in this episode. It is jam packed. Let's get into this. In the cold open, we see Laura and Rory walking down the street. They're being accosted by Lane. Elaine wants to continue to play drums over at their house. She's got the drumming bug.

1:23 I get it. I have that bug too.

1:25 I am often tapping on pots and pans myself, I understand Laura Lai's outfit in this cold open, it's.

1:31 Looking kind of witchy.

1:33 In my opinion, this is a fun, spooky outfit. She's got a black button up cardigan layered over a black tank top and then these red pants. They've got like a design of a flower or something on the hip, and then around her next she's got this like onyx orb very cool again, lorlay she loves Ryan stones, she loves tied eye, she loves bright colors. This is kind of a howen looking outfit. I really liked this outfit.

2:03 But Loralai and.

2:04 Rory they go over to their good friend Suki's house to take advantage of the kindness of their friend. They need to be fed. Their things are still weird with Luke. They're not going to Luke's diner to get breakfast, so what do they do? They go to Suki's house because they know she will never turn down any request, and they demand that she feeds them. It reminds me that Lorelai is not a very good friend. But anyway, Suki's wearing this chef shirt that I really liked, and at this moment in her house we get a double outfit repeat.

2:36 Suki's wearing this like chef outfit that we saw like like last episode of the episode before. It's blue and it's got these square pattern on it that looks to me like small Paisley bandanas. I don't think it actually is. It's probably just a tile design, but it looks to me like Paisley bandana is That's very fun.

2:57 I thought.

2:58 It's like when you say a T shirt with a T printed on it, it's it's just fun.

3:02 She's wearing that.

3:02 She's getting ready to go to the end, but she has to make breakfast for her deeply respectable friends. And then another repeat outfit in this scene that I am loving is that Jackson is nodding off. He takes a while to get going in the morning. We learned that Jackson is not a morning person. He is sitting at the counter. He is still sleeping. He's trying to catch some more zase. He's wearing the pajamas with himself printed on them. We saw those way back in season two, episode eleven, Secrets and Loans, and you'll remember their pajamas with himself as a younger, as a high schooler printed on them. In his little wrestling outfit. It's very fun to see. I loved seeing him in these. It makes me think, like Jackson sleeps in these every night. Possibly

3:48 very fun. After the cold open, Lorelai is studying and she's getting frustrated with how much information she has to retain. Rory enters the scene, and I feel that in this moment, kind of throughout the most of the episode, but most in this moment especially, they are wearing opposite clothes. And I don't mean like Rory's wearing clothes that Lorali would wear.

4:13 I mean like the type of outfits they're wearing are kind of flip flopped for where they are in life. Like Lorala's wearing an outfit that looks like it makes her look like a high schooler, or like a middle schooler, and Rory's wearing a shirt or an outfit that makes her look like an adult, you know, a career person.

4:34 Let's get into what they're actually wearing. Laura's wearing this blue purple hoodie with Ryanstones on it, of course all over the sleeves. Underneath that, She's got a blue rugby shirt with a white collar. Again, looks like something like a student would wear a young student, which she is. She's a student. No, not super young, but someone in like middle school would wear something like this. Rory enters the room and she's wearing like a slim, slimfit jeans with a pink button up shirt with a floral pattern on it. It looks like something like a four year old would wear, you know, I mean that with confidence, I mean that complimentary, but it doesn't look like something that high schooler would wear. I just thought that was

5:15 very interesting that they have them kind of swapped here. And Laura's freaking out about studying. Rory comes in and tries to reassure her a role that a parent would normally play and not the child. You know, their relationship is not typical, but in this scene especially, you can really see who is kind of taking the emotional lead here.

5:38 The next scene, Laura, Lai, Rory, and Dean are walking down the street. Dean is offering he's trying to explain the concept of skeet shooting with clay pigeons. Laura, la and Rory are not grasping the topic. Rory's wearing a royal blue knitted sweatshirt with really long cuffs, like those could be rolled up at least twice. I think, wrapped over her past that she still has and laid under that sweater is a black shirt with white polka dots.

6:05 Dean has a signature mid nineties long sleeve gray sweater, and Lorlei oh Man.

6:13 This whole scene.

6:14 I don't love any of the outfits in the scene, but Laura is probably the worst offender. She's wearing a light blue, almost a pinkish kind of blue, zip up sweater with a bedazzled eagle on it. And this is not like a cool looking eagle. I think this is it looks like the presidential seal. It's it's just weird.

6:33 And again rhyanstoned to heck, it's this bedazzled eagle all over it. And then she's wearing this like messenger bag. It's not a typical messenger bag. It's it's you know, it's definitely her purse, but it is. It's it looks like what Indiana Jones carries. It's that kind it's like a shorter bag. I've never seen her wear this bag before.

6:55 I don't like it. I think it looks kind of weird for her, and her jeans are fine. Wearing the seven Fold mankind jeens, but they cannot save the rest of the outfit. She goes into a Dozie's market to talk to Luke and we get a good look at her necklace. It's like a silver like cat or an animal. It's kind of interesting. Again, cannot salvage the outfit with those accessories. Next up, we've got an identification on another shirt that Laurela is wearing, and I'm going to tell you about it after wait for it, Wait for it, wait for it. After these words, we are back, Ladies and gentlemen, those were commercials.

7:45 Thanks for sticking around. My name is Easton Allen.

7:47 This is Starr's hollow style part of the Eye Amol in podcast network. We're talking about season two, episode twenty one, laurelis graduation day, and we have graduated to the next scene here. I promised we'd talk about it, and I'm a man of my work and we're going to discuss this scene. Lorila is celebrating that she has done with school.

8:05 Her finals are over, she has completed her studies. She's having a lot of margarita. She's having a good time. She's cutting loose. She's wearing a dark navy zip up hoodie with these baby blue cuffs and a really cool Madonna V neck t shirt underneath the Actually this is a sleeveless shirt. It's the design on it is. It's like an oval with like tribal styled shapes, looks like, you know, like a tribal tattoo like that kind of like angular kind of art. And in the middle it reads Madonna and then below GHV two. I did not recognize that right away. I had to look it up.

8:41 That means Greatest Hits Volume two, which came out in November two thousand and one. I thought it was rad that Madonna made merch for a greatest not just the Greatest Hits album, but Volume two, another Greatest Hits album. I would I love this kind of thing. I would buy this in a heartbeat. This is considered to be a very rare Madonna shirt. I did find one on Poshmark.

9:03 It's a medium. It's going for three hundred and fifty dollars. We have a link up on Instagram. If you want to look like Lorelei in this moment and you're willing to spend a lot of money, or if you're a crazy Madonna fan, if you're a hardcore Madonna fan.

9:17 You want to get this shirt.

9:18 It's up there on Poshmark for you, courtesy of us here at the Amlin Podcast. The next morning, Laurai is trying to figure out which we're for her graduation. She comes downstairs and a fun graphic tee. It reads Angel fifty five old Girl Team. Lorelai loves those fake jersey style shirts. She loves fictional jerseys. It's very important to her.

9:41 We've got another Loralai outfit to digest. Later on, she's at the inn, Soki has once again. She gives and gives to this friend that takes and takes. Soki has made her friend a graduation cake. It's like a graduation hat. Cake looks so lovely. Souki's wearing a hot pink chef shirt this time solid, no pattern there.

10:02 I really love it.

10:03 I think it looks great on her, brings out her eyes really nicely. And then Laurrea is wearing a light blue button up with vertical striped pants, which I didn't strongly dislike.

10:12 But it's really hard for me to see. Laurel's pretty.

10:16 She's not super tall, but she's taller, and it's hard to see a tall person in striped pants without thinking they're a circus stilt walker. And I just got that vibe when Lorreley's walking around, so I didn't really love these striped pants. Next up, we see jessin Rory walking down the street in Manhattan. Certainly not the Wanner Brothers a lot, this is definitely the city of New York.

10:38 Jess is wearing a softball tea that reads Hardcore Kid the two thousand and two No Mercy Tour. Hardcore Kid is a wrestler. And it's very fun to see this because you know, we're still getting to know Jess at this point. We know he loves to read, we know he likes music, we know he likes cars. Now we know he's a wrestling fan too. He's got quite the interests that Jess Marianno. And then, finally, finally, when Laurai arrives to her graduation, she looks fantastic. I love her outfit for the graduation itself. She's wearing a dress with an all over rose pattern and a sea foam green cardigan.

11:18 She looks wonderful.

11:19 I feel so bad for what happens to Laura la Out at the end of this where she you know, Rory doesn't make it back in time. She struggles with her mother and hiring a film crew. For all this, there is a I know we're supposed to talk about the clothes, not the acting.

11:34 It's just a closed podcast.

11:35 But when Laura looks out into the audience and sees her parents there and sees how proud they are, I got teary eyed. I just want to say I cried that part. Anyway, so many outfits to get into in this episode. Let's go through and talk about our least favorite and our favorites before we say goodbye here. My least favorite has got to be the dazzled presidential eagle that Laura is wearing when she tries to talk to Luke.

12:01 I just gave it, gave me the ick. I'm going to say that.

12:05 My favorite outfit definitely what Laurel I wore to her graduation.

12:09 I just love that dress.

12:10 I think it looks so great on her, and I can tell she felt very confident in that and this is a very emotional moment for her, and.

12:17 I like that she liked what she was wearing.

12:20 We're going to do this again in a week, you guys, and I would love it if you joined me to talk about more clothes. This is a fun little gab session every week. It's season two, episode twenty two, the finale of season two. We're gonna say goodbye with it with I Can't Get Started. I Can't get Started. That is the name of the episode. We're going to do this again. Thanks for joining me. It stars holl of Style.
