I love Rory's speech, but I think I'll vote against 20. One of the things that makes GG so special to me is how much poignancy they can wring from really subtle, understated moments. Rory's sweet and

Well if there are no more votes with a score of 6 to 4  Jess squeaks past Emily. #45 wins. Although both are winners in my book

Okay, fine. 4 is out. Not because Luke didn't look sexy (he totally did) but because let's face it, the sheet is not the focus of that scene. Heh.

What will be next? If I have to play tie-breaker for the rest of this game I will hurt someone, just letting you all know. (LOL you all know I love you.)

Favorite 'You Look Wonderful Tonight' Moments

4.  Sookie freaks out and comes to the Inn in her wedding dress the night before the wedding.  "Hey, what happened?" "I don’t know." "When I left you, you were fine." "I know. And when I went home, I was fine. And when I went to bed, I was fine. And then I had this dream where suddenly my dress is really, really short in back, you know? So I bolt out of bed and I put my dress on, and it looks okay. But then I panic – what if I’m remembering the dream wrong? What if my dress isn’t really screwed up, what if it’s my veil? So I put on the veil, then I remember I’m serving salmon puffs. Salmon puffs! Okay, completely wrong, so I had to rush over here and try to find another first course, and then I walk in and these daffodils, just. . .something snapped and that’s when you walked in here."  (I Can't Get Started)

5.  Lorelai is supposed to meet with Luke to ask him for money for the Dragonfly. He's wearing the clothes she bought for him way back in S1.  "I'm sorry that I made you get all dressed up." "That's okay, it's good for me to do it every once in awhile. It reminds me why I'm not an accountant."  (The Incredible Shrinking Lorelais)

6.  Rory wears a tux to be the "Best Man" in Emily and Richard's vow renewal.  "What's with being all k.d.lang?" "It was for my grandparents' vow renewal. I was the best man." "Is that kinky or something?"  (Wedding Bell Blues)

10.  Luke answers the door all rumpled and sexy when Lorelai, not realizing he goes to bed early, wakes him up to celebrate Jackson's town selectman win.  " 'Goes to bed early,' I gotta remember that."  (Tippecanoe and Taylor, Too)

21.  Luke and Lorelai arrive at the vow renewal.  Luke is wearing a gray trenchcoat and black gloves over his suit.  He didn't know he was supposed to bring his clothes instead of wear them there.  "I can have my tailor steam out those trousers for you."  (Wedding Bell Blues)

22.  Lorelai invites Luke over to watch movies.  She's wearing glasses and a black and red argyle sweater vest over a white collared shirt and looks particularly cute.  "Rory and I would always rent a bunch of movies, order food -- it was our thing. Now she's at school and busy, so why don't you come over? It might be fun." "Okay." "Yeah?" "Sure, what else have I got to do?" "Ah, I love when men say that to me."  (The Fundamental Things Apply)

23.  Lorelai wears something just a little bit fruity for Liz's Renaissance wedding - a pink dress with a garland of flowers in her hair.  "Greetings, my lord. Your lady hath arrived to be escorted forthwith."  (Last Week Fights, This Week Tights)

I rewatched Those Are Strings, Pinocchio yesterday and I can't believe I forgot to add Luke in his suit to this list! With his hair cut neat, yum yum YUM.

22 is out!  I love Lorelai's glasses here.

4 out! For all my issues with this show over the multitude of times I've watched - some petty, some legit - one thing it really got right was I never once saw them belittle or poke fun at women of size. (Well, aside from a couple of OOC jokes I choose to ignore.) I really appreciate that. And Sookie looked really beautiful in her wedding gown, and how GG-esque is it that we never saw her in her wedding gown on her actual wedding day, rather we saw her wearing it in the middle of a panic attack about the food? Heh. Perfect.

She really did and it was a perfect gown for a woman of size. I appreciated the fact that they didn't try to cram her into something strapless and mermaid which would have been a big joke.

6 - Rory looks adorable in her tux, but in all honesty Emily and Richard having Rory and Lorelai be the "Best Man" and Maid of Honor in their vow renewal makes no sense with their characters whatsoever.

10 - Sleepy, sexy Luke but something's gotta go!

Time to vote FOR the WINNER! And put on your thinking caps because next game is going to be the exact opposite - times when characters looked (or were wearing) something truly awful. I've got several in mind already for Lorelai and Emily both, ha ha!

I love how we all see things differently. There's lots of times I think Luke looks way hotter than in that wedding ensemble. He still looks good though, no complaints. 😉

And I agree with Junie that while Lorelai looked pretty (and I especially love the garland in her hair) the color clashed with her skin tone. Much like the time I was in my brother's wedding and had to wear pastel yellow. Egads.

So, anyway. Enough babbling! Our winner is -

Luke and Lorelai arrive at the vow renewal.  Luke is wearing a gray trenchcoat and black gloves over his suit.  He didn't know he was supposed to bring his clothes instead of wear them there.  "I can have my tailor steam out those trousers for you."  (Wedding Bell Blues)

Start listing times you think the characters did NOT look so great! For all her fashion sense, Lorelai had some really gosh-awful outfits so I'm looking forward to this one being a lot of fun!

The first and foremost in my mind is that awful wedding dress that Lorelai chose.  After all of the anticipation of a wedding, that's the best they could do?  Ugh.

Of course, for totally egregious, the Daisy Duke Visits the Headmaster outfit.  Shudder.

Rory in that ridiculous hat playing golf with her grandfather.

Lorelai wearing the animal print cowboy hat.  And wasn't there another one in denim?

And, on a hat rant, the knit/crocheted one that Lane wore with the knobs on top.

The 'What Not to Wear' GG Edition

1. Lorelai's not-so perfect wedding dress.  "I don't understand. How did this happen? This morning, you didn't know whether you were gonna wear a white dress or not." "I know. But then Sookie and I went to check out these invitations, you know, and right next door, there was this little bridal shop, and we thought, oh, we'll just go in, look around, you know no big deal, you know, just girl fun, right? And I went in, and I turned around, and there it was. The perfect dress." "The..." "The bodice is this blush-coloured silk tulle, and it has all these little crystal beads on it, and the skirt is a blush silk tulle with a blush silk/satin lining, and the back goes into a train. And, oh, it has a cream, satin sash, so you get a little white in there, which I know is very important to you. I tried it on, and it fit me perfectly, and it was on sale, and so I bought it. And from the minute I bought the dress, everything else fell into place." (The Perfect Dress)

2. It's Rory's first day at Chilton but all of Lorelai's clothes are at the cleaners.  "What?" "Nothing. I just didn't know the rodeo was in town." (The Lorelais' First Day at Chilton)

3. Rory goes golfing with Richard.  "What's with the hat?" "Grandma gave it to me." "Oh, now, that's just mean." "It's not that bad." "Do you want a mirror?"  (Kill Me Now)

4. Lorelai accidentally wears something from the town rummage sale that used to belong to Rachel (before Lorelai knew Rachel existed and apparently before ASP knew Rachel would be a classic beauty and not.....whatever that was). "What the hell do you think you’re wearing?"  (Concert Interruptus)

5. Lorelai is wearing bizarrely patterned shirt while on the phone with Rory, they are discussing Rory thinking Laundry Guy was talking about her asking him out. The bells are mysteriously no longer working. " How self-centered am I that I just assumed that he was talking about me?" "Well, I would have assumed the same thing, so, incredibly self-centered. "  (In the Clamor and the Clangor)

6. Lorelai wears a hat it looks like she dug out of Michael Jackson's trash when she goes to ask Luke to help her break the bells. They continue to argue over Luke moving in with Nicole. "You know, I was a little tipsy on that cruise ship, but I don't remember anyone pronouncing us husband and wife and Lorelai."  (In the Clamor and the Clangor)

7.  Sookie wears a maternity top with awkwardly-placed daisies. She comes over to Lorelai's at 1am, freaking out that the baby is never coming out.  "Ooh! That Andrew. I hate that he was right, that pasty-faced bastard!"  (The Festival of Living Art)

Do you have any frame of reference for this one? I don't remember it at all so I don't know where to look it up.

9.  Lorelai buys a ridiculous get-up to go fishing with Alex. But first, Luke has to come teach her to fish. "Hello, sailor, bait your hook for you?" "You look ridiculous." "I look adorable. No one ever told me that if you fish, you get to buy an outfit. I’ll do just about anything if I can buy an outfit."  (Lorelai Out of Water)

10.  Lorelai and Rory are bridesmaids in Sookie's wedding. "Oh hey, while we’re on the subject, um, bridesmaids outfits?" "Ooh, I’m way ahead of you. I’ve already got a couple of ideas." "Is one of them having me design and make them so I don’t secretly hate what you pick and then harbor a secret grudge against you for the rest of our lives?" "It is now."  (I Can't Get Started)

12.  Miss Celine picks out the stuffiest old-lady dress suit possible for Emily to wear to Rory's graduation from Chilton.  "Oh, you cannot wear green around grass. I learned that from Tova Borgnine the hard way. Go try the red one on. Red goes wonderful with nature."  (Here Comes the Son)

13.  Lorelai alters the dresses Emily bought for her and Rory to wear to Rory's birthday party at the elder Gilmore's.  "What is that?" "Uh, that's my dress." "Where's the one I bought you?" "This is it." "I thought there was more of it."  (Rory's Birthday Parties)

15.  Rory finalizes plans for the USO-themed charity event during dinner with the grandparents. She's wearing a tan sweater and button-up shirt about twenty years too old for her.  "Partitions?" "For the room." "But we won't have any room. We're sold out."  (We've Got Magic to Do)

16.  Shira Huntzberger wears something a bit inappropriate for her station to the charity event.  "Now let's talk about your money. You were a two-bit gold digger, fresh off the bus from Hicksville when you met Mitchum at whatever bar you happened to stumble into. And what made Mitchum decide to choose you to marry amongst the pack of women he was bedding at the time, I'll never know. But hats off to you for bagging him. He's still a playboy, you know? Well, of course you know. That would explain why your weight goes up and down 30 pounds every other month."  (We've Got Magic to Do)

17.  Lorelai wears a skin-tight purple dress with sleeves that completely cover her hands to the Doublemint Twins' wedding.  "Sister Sledge! Excuse me."  (Kill Me Now)

Since Taryn74 has done all of the heavy lifting on posting these with hilarious captions, I've done links to pictures of each objectionable outfit.  I will update as more come in.

The 'What Not to Wear' GG Edition

1. Lorelai's not-so perfect wedding dress.  "I don't understand. How did this happen? This morning, you didn't know whether you were gonna wear a white dress or not." "I know. But then Sookie and I went to check out these invitations, you know, and right next door, there was this little bridal shop, and we thought, oh, we'll just go in, look around, you know no big deal, you know, just girl fun, right? And I went in, and I turned around, and there it was. The perfect dress." "The..." "The bodice is this blush-coloured silk tulle, and it has all these little crystal beads on it, and the skirt is a blush silk tulle with a blush silk/satin lining, and the back goes into a train. And, oh, it has a cream, satin sash, so you get a little white in there, which I know is very important to you. I tried it on, and it fit me perfectly, and it was on sale, and so I bought it. And from the minute I bought the dress, everything else fell into place." (The Perfect Dress)

2. It's Rory's first day at Chilton but all of Lorelai's clothes are at the cleaners.  "What?" "Nothing. I just didn't know the rodeo was in town." (The Lorelais' First Day at Chilton)

3. Rory goes golfing with Richard.  "What's with the hat?" "Grandma gave it to me." "Oh, now, that's just mean." "It's not that bad." "Do you want a mirror?"  (Kill Me Now)

4. Lorelai accidentally wears something from the town rummage sale that used to belong to Rachel (before Lorelai knew Rachel existed and apparently before ASP knew Rachel would be a classic beauty and not.....whatever that was). "What the hell do you think you’re wearing?"  (Concert Interruptus)

5. Lorelai is wearing bizarrely patterned shirt while on the phone with Rory, they are discussing Rory thinking Laundry Guy was talking about her asking him out. The bells are mysteriously no longer working. "How self-centered am I that I just assumed that he was talking about me?" "Well, I would have assumed the same thing, so, incredibly self-centered. "  (In the Clamor and the Clangor)

6. Lorelai wears a hat it looks like she dug out of Michael Jackson's trash when she goes to ask Luke to help her break the bells. They continue to argue over Luke moving in with Nicole. "You know, I was a little tipsy on that cruise ship, but I don't remember anyone pronouncing us husband and wife and Lorelai."  (In the Clamor and the Clangor)

7.  Sookie wears a maternity top with awkwardly-placed daisies. She comes over to Lorelai's at 1am, freaking out that the baby is never coming out.  "Ooh! That Andrew. I hate that he was right, that pasty-faced bastard!"  (The Festival of Living Art)

8.  Lane wears a knit cap with double pom-poms while she and Rory go shop for new makeup for the latest Korean bride. "Oh, I found the Mrs. Kim-approved makeup in the drawer, but let me tell you, since the last wedding, it has developed a smell."  (Lorelai Out of Water)

9.  Lorelai buys a ridiculous get-up to go fishing with Alex. But first, Luke has to come teach her to fish. "Hello, sailor, bait your hook for you?" "You look ridiculous." "I look adorable. No one ever told me that if you fish, you get to buy an outfit. I’ll do just about anything if I can buy an outfit."  (Lorelai Out of Water)

10.  Lorelai and Rory are bridesmaids in Sookie's wedding. "Oh hey, while we’re on the subject, um, bridesmaids outfits?" "Ooh, I’m way ahead of you. I’ve already got a couple of ideas." "Is one of them having me design and make them so I don’t secretly hate what you pick and then harbor a secret grudge against you for the rest of our lives?" "It is now."  (I Can't Get Started)

11.  Lorelai is the Maid of Honor at her parents' vow renewal.  "Why are you nervous?" "I'm getting married!" "For the second time. Mom, it's a pretend wedding. J.Lo has them all the time."  (Wedding Bell Blues)

12.  Miss Celine picks out the stuffiest old-lady dress suit possible for Emily to wear to Rory's graduation from Chilton.  "Oh, you cannot wear green around grass. I learned that from Tova Borgnine the hard way. Go try the red one on. Red goes wonderful with nature."  (Here Comes the Son)

13.  Lorelai alters the dresses Emily bought for her and Rory to wear to Rory's birthday party at the elder Gilmore's.  "What is that?" "Uh, that's my dress." "Where's the one I bought you?" "This is it." "I thought there was more of it."  (Rory's Birthday Parties)

14.  Lorelai is wearing an orange, gold, and fuchsia patterned top when she stops in at Luke's after Rory and Lane's doomed double date.  "Yeah, if fact you rushed out of here before I had a chance to -- " "A chance to....?" " "Kick your ass in poker." "You wish."  (Double Date)

15.  Rory finalizes plans for the USO-themed charity event during dinner with the grandparents. She's wearing a tan sweater and button-up shirt about twenty years too old for her.  "Partitions?" "For the room." "But we won't have any room. We're sold out."  (We've Got Magic to Do)

16.  Shira Huntzberger wears something a bit inappropriate for her station to the charity event.  "Now let's talk about your money. You were a two-bit gold digger, fresh off the bus from Hicksville when you met Mitchum at whatever bar you happened to stumble into. And what made Mitchum decide to choose you to marry amongst the pack of women he was bedding at the time, I'll never know. But hats off to you for bagging him. He's still a playboy, you know? Well, of course you know. That would explain why your weight goes up and down 30 pounds every other month."  (We've Got Magic to Do)

17.  Lorelai wears a skin-tight purple dress with sleeves that completely cover her hands to the Doublemint Twins' wedding.  "Sister Sledge! Excuse me."  (Kill Me Now)

18.  Jackson's Bracebridge Squire attire.  "Lo! Now has come our joyfullest feast. Let every man be jolly."  (Bracebridge Dinner)

I hadn't noticed. Did you notice, Emily?" "Why no, I haven't. Huh, well. I will have to pay more attention to the guest list next time, won't I, Richard?"  (The Party's Over)
