Alright, Gilmore Girls fans — it’s time to get serious. Us avid re-watchers know the beloved (and even hated) characters of the television series very well (hey Rory, Lorelai, Jess, Logan, Dean, Luke, and Sookie). Yet, despite our unwavering commitment to these guys and gals, there are several side characters who provide comic relief, exciting storylines, and necessary advice.

These supporting characters are the ones we like to call the underrated stars of Gilmore Girls. And they deserve way more love then we give them. Scroll on to see the top six people who truly made the show a binge-worthy one.

​Lane Kim

Warner Bros. Television

Lane Kim, AKA Rory’s best friend since basically forever, is often overlooked as a main character. She’s actually an extremely relatable and compelling person due to her constant struggles that so many viewers have also dealt with. Kim’s complicated relationship with her mom is highlighted frequently, showcasing the ups and downs of extreme parental expectations.

She navigates romantic endeavors with both Dave and Zack (whom she ends up having two twin children with, showcasing a new parenting storyline) while simultaneously pursuing her passion for music. And throughout all of her personal grappling, Lane remains an upstanding, loyal friend to Rory. You heard it here first: Lane Kimdeserves more respect!

​Michel Gerard

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

In all our favorite TV shows, there’s always that one side character who puts the main one in their place. In Gilmore Girls, that supporting character is Michel Gerard — and he does it in the most wonderful, humorous, and sassy way possible. Gerard is Lorelai’s co-worker, and while his often-cynical attitude can frustrate her at times, they also have a deeply loving friendship. He brings the show to life with his brutal honesty, witty remarks, and snarky sophistication that many viewers adore, but don’t give enough credit to. Everyone needs a Michel Gerard in their life!

​Kirk Gleason

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

How could you not love Kirk and his many, many occupational changes. His slightly odd and quirky personality adds a lightness to the more serious plotlines in the show — and it’s much-needed. Kirk is often cast to the side by the residents of Stars Hollow themselves, but his steadfast loyalty to the town and his fun eccentricities make him a character that you just can’t help but love.

Miss Patty

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

Miss Patty, the town’s dance instructor, is a strong female character who is totally underappreciated. She works as a guiding womanly force for young girls, including Rory and Lane, and displays an evident independence that so many people strive for IRL. Miss Patty doesn’t take any nonsense from others and prioritizes her passion for dance, making her a beacon for following your dreams. She’s the queen of the series, TBH.

​Babette Dell

Warner Bros. Television

Every town needs a local gossip, and Babette Dell fulfills that role perfectly. She acts as a longtime friend and neighbor of Lorelai’s, often letting her in on town secrets and offering advice (likely through inappropriate comments, which adds an entertaining touch of comic relief). Babette is also an inherently warm person who loves her family, community, and food — arguably, the most relatable of them all. You can tell she always means well towards others, making her an extremely lovable character.

​Lindsay Lister

Warner Bros. Television

Lindsay is the very sweet local girl who formerly attended high school with Rory and, unfortunately, gets caught up in a bit of a love triangle with Rory and Dean. After Rory and Dean's romance comes to an end, he develops a relationship with Lindsay, tying the knot rather quickly. But…then Dean cheats on her, while married, with Rory. Let’s be real here: those two, lovebirds or not, were in the wrong. Lindsay! Deserved! Better!

Halloween isn't until next month, But if you’re still at a loss for a costume, don’t wig out — er, actually, that’s exactly what we want you to do! Because basic wigs are all it takes to build out an Insta-worthy costume on the fly.

Once you have the rainbow-colored hairpiece in your hold (chances are, you own one from Halloweens past, but even if not, you can grab the real deal from any costume shop for as cheap as $10), it’s all about pairing it with easy-to-find pieces that will round out your look.

DIY Costume Wig Ideas

Brit + Co

your closet or athrift store, or order from Amazon Prime to get just in time for the big day. With just a little pop culture brainstorming, you won’t believe all the ways you can wow in these wigs from head to toe.

Blue Wigs

Brit + Co

First up, my personal favorite, the bold blue wig. Here are our versions of Cookie Monster, Katy Perry, Sailor Mercury and Sexy Marge Simpson.

1. Cookie Monster Costume

An all-time classic and the best possible outfit for the gal who wants to have an excuse to pretty much wear a snuggie out for the evening.

Brit + Co

2. Katy Perry Costume

A beauty that has inspired SO many Halloween costumes over the past several years. We chose to veer away from the infamous cupcake bra version and tap into a more sophisticated look that’s still obviously the one and only KP.

Brit + Co

3. Sailor Mercury Costume

If you’ve never seen the TV show Sailor Moon before but love this look, here’s the 411: you’ll pretty much be dressed up as a badass anime cartoon who’s in a girl gang of other ladies similarly named after planets who take over the world and also happen to be really hot!

What You Need:

  • Sailor costume
  • Boots
  • Teal ribbon
  • Gold head piece
  • Blue gem
  • Hot glue

This little lady is easy to recreate with a simple basic classic costume you can find anywhere and by simply adding a few embellishments. For the headband, I used a gold necklace that has a solid structure (you could even use a gold ribbon if you wanted to) that has a blue gem hot glued to it. The ribbon is just an added piece to tie around your neck.

Brit + Co

4. Sexy Marge Simpson Costume

The sexy Marge! You know the episodes where she decides to let her hair down? The tall beehive hair is obvious but this is SO much more fun, not to mention easier to manage all night.

What You Need:

  • 1 yard of green spandex fabric
  • Sewing machine
  • Red beaded necklace
  • Heels

The dress, seriously the easiest thing to make EVER. Simply get a yard or two of the lime green stretch spandex fabric, measure around your body, sew inside out and voila, you are her! The beaded necklace you can make in a pinch if you can't find one — we scored and found this one at Goodwill!

Now, moving onto our yellow wig costumes. We tapped into a couple more Pop Stars: Miss Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga, an Angry Bird and a crazy Pop Art Comic Book Gal.

Yellow Wig

Brit + Co

5. Lady Gaga Costume

This crazy lady is definitely among the leaders in sporting brightly colored hair as a fashion statement. For this costume, we went with an actual Gaga dress and topped it off with a pair of shoes that are NO JOKE!

What You Need:

The shoes! This is not a necessity, but with the dress being so inexpensive, we decided it may be worth the splurge to commit to the investment in the shoes. The dress comes with eyewear, but these glasses truly take this costume to a more glam look that seems less out of the bag.

Brit + Co

6. Nicki Minaj Costume

We went with yellow-haired Nicki, but in all honesty you could literally wear any of these wigs for this chick — she wears 'em all! The key is exuding her sex appeal in combination with her sometimes crazy eyeball face topped off with not taking yourself too seriously. But this jam packs more punch if you go for being funny rather than sexy.

What You Need:

  • Tight leopard print dress or leotard
  • Black eyeliner
  • Heels
  • Gold bling

Definitely go with a dress size slightly smaller than what you would ordinarily wear. Then, feel free to stuff your bra with a little tissue paper to get those signature Nicki curves. Throw on a few gold chains and heels, and have a friend draw on her arm tattoo with eyeliner. I have to give it up to Miss Minaj, trying to copy her crazy eye look is REALLY hard.

Brit + Co

7. Angry Bird Costume

We've seen this costume before, but this look is still too dang cute to pass up. Especially when the list of what you need to make it happen is this simple!

What You Need:

  • Yellow outfit
  • Red, white, yellow and black felt
  • Black Sharpie
  • Hot glue
  • Headband
  • Flash tape

You could go with any shade of yellow really, I happened to have this little getup in my closet (just for the record, the shirt and skirt are from H&M and the sweater is from Target). Draw out the face onto the proper colored felt and cut it out. Glue the head piece to the headband. Everything else can be taped to the wig.

Brit + Co

8. Pop Art Comic Gal Costume

There are SO many versions of this look out there in the cyber world to choose from. Here is our take, where the outfit is pretty simple and it really comes down to the makeup.

What You Need:

  • Comic leggings
  • Graphic t-shirt
  • Ben Nye Color Creme Pods in a blue, white, yellow and purple
  • Electric Pallete by Urban Decay
  • Black gel liner
  • Fine-pointed synthetic makeup brush

Pop on the leggings and the top and then all that's left to tackle is the makeup. And once you have the right makeup on hand, it's not all that hard to achieve this head-turning look. The dots are all about precision — use a pencil eraser or tip of a makeup brush to apply the cream dots consistently all over your face.

Now for our orange wig costumes. We went with Leeloo Dallas (the hottie from The Fifth Element), a pumpkin, Fraggle Rock and the Mad Hatter.

Orange Wig

Brit + Co

9. Leeloo Dallas Costume

Channeling this sci-fi film icon is a really fun way to tap into a more sexy look while maintaining a quirkiness that keeps it fun. Truth: this teeny tiny outfit has indeed been my Halloween costume in the past — join the ranks this year!

Brit + Co

10. Pumpkin Costume

Okay, this may be really, really basic, but it is a Halloween staple. Plus, it’s the one time of year you can wear all orange all the time. #goGIANTS

What You Need:

  • Orange top
  • Orange bottom
  • Black felt
  • Hot glue
  • Green foam
  • Orange fabric

This look is all about orange everything! Orange leggings, an orange pumpkin t-shirt and that orange wig. Turn yourself into a pumpkin by pairing a green cone with an orange doily, and you're good to go.

Brit + Co

11. Red Fraggle Costume

One of the leading faces from the kooky '80s TV series can surely help bring back the nostalgia this Halloween. It's sure to put a BIG muppet-style smile on your face in this getup.

What You Need:

  • Red turtleneck
  • Nude leggings
  • Orange yarn
  • Bobby pins
  • Tail

Score a turtleneck from your local thrift store like we did. For the headpiece, grab a skein of orange yarn, cut it in half, tie each side off and attach to either side of your head with bobby pins. Grab any tail (this is from a lion costume kit) and add orange yarn to it too.

Brit + Co

12. Mad Hatter Costume

We're going with the Johnny Depp version, obviously!

What You Need:

  • Top hat with ribbon added
  • Jacket
  • Cream colored blouse
  • Spools of thread
  • Scarves
  • Gloves
  • Pants

As you can see, I purposely left out super descriptive details from each garment. The thing is, as long as you get the gist of the color scheme down and the general silhouette, this costume is so easy to replicate. Every clothing item is from my closet. I made the thread holster by stringing thread spools onto yarn and draping it over my shoulder. The makeup is a an understated version inspired from the original, but really easy to recreate. And yes, those are fake eyelashes as eyebrows!

Last we have our costume picks using a pink wig. These were our selects: Strawberry Shortcake, a unicorn, Jem and Frenchie from Grease.

Pink Wigs

Brit + Co

13. Strawberry Shortcake Costume

Another '80s classic that can be played down with a pair of white sneakers or sexified by wearing a pair of t-strap pumps.

What You Need:

If there is an option to wear flats, I say TAKE IT! How cute are these gifts to carry around as a fun accent piece? This costume definitely errs on the quick and easy side of the spectrum, so the hand-wrapped gifts make it feel a little more DIY! For your makeup just add some freckles using either black or brown eyeliner.

Brit + Co

14. Unicorn Costume

Real talk: I just wanted an excuse to dress up like a unicorn. The pink wig is just a bonus.

What You Need:

This costume is so comfortable and super cute! You can also add glitter or do your makeup really crazy if you want to take it to the next level.

Brit + Co

15. Jem Costume

Clearly, we are as obsessed with our '80s cartoon characters as we are with wig costumes. For bright pink tresses, Jem is an absolute must!

Brit + Co

16. Frenchie From 'Grease' Costume

“Beauty school drop out, go back to high school” — the tune never gets old. Typically the go-to Grease costume is the lovely Sandy, but let’s think outside the box and use this opportunity to channel the sweetest pink lady and her accidental pink hair. If only she knew how trendsetting she was back in the day!

One thing about me is if a TV show has a catchy name, it’s going to catch my attention. And The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives did exactly that. If you’re a reality TV girly like me, this show is 1000 percent for you. It has everything from a soft swinging scandal, secret Tinder account, and fruity cereal (IYKYK) to clout chasing and soda obsessions.

The show is set in Salt Lake City, Utah, following eight Mormon social media influencers who make up #MomTok, a group of Mormon moms who film TikTok videos. (Truthfully it took me until episode 3 to tell them apart — they look so similar, it’s those stunning Utah curls).

Their worlds blew up overnight after Taylor Frankie Paul shared in a TikTok Live that she took part in “soft swinging,” which led to her and her husband divorcing and impacting the friendships of this group of women. And as such, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was gifted to us all.

BUT the soft swinging scandal isn’t the only shocking moment of this series. Here are a few other gasp-worthy moments that need to be talked about.

​Every Show Needs A Villain — Enter Whitney Leavitt

Fred Hayes/Disney

While Taylor dealt with the fallout of the soft swinger scandal, Whitney Leavitt was dealing with her own scandal. She led the #MomTok group to believe she relocated to Hawaii when the scandal broke to get away from the noise, but Whitney shared that was a cover up, and the real reason her family relocated was because the rumors of her husband having a Tinder account (for their entire marriage) were true. So she basically admitted Taylor was her scapegoat to get out of town.

And while Whitney was hoping for the girls to rally around her during this truth bomb about her marriage, she felt her announcement was overshadowed by Taylor’s miscarriage news (who became pregnant shortly after), ultimately driving Whitney to not attend Taylor’s baby shower. All of a sudden, Whitney doesn't want to be involved with Taylor, and claims her and Taylor only have an online relationship instead of a real one… Umm I’m sorry what? This was the start of Whitney paving her way as the show's villain.

Ashley Rose Ramirez/Disney

Fast forward to a girls trip for Mayci Neeley’s birthday, Whitney felt the group’s friendships haven’t been authentic. “Let’s be honest,” she told Mayci, “have we all ever been genuine, real friends? Or has there always been an agenda? Has there always been some sort of transaction needed?” Tell me if I’m wrong, but Whitney hasn’t been a true friend if she feels a transaction is needed and feels like some of these friendships don’t exist IRL, but I digress.

After the girls trip, Whitney thought it would be in her best interest to unfollow the women on social media and abruptly leave the group chat, but later expresses how nobody called and asked why she left...Unfollowing your friends and leaving the group chat feels so high school and attention seeking IMO. At this point of the show, I was questioning what I was watching, but I couldn’t turn it off.

In the series finale, Whitney made the not-so-shocking decision to not attend her best friend Mayci’s launch party, claiming she “wasn’t in the space and needed some time from the group.” Hasn’t Macyi always had Whitney’s back through everything, and now she’s not going to show up for her? Aren’t one of the #Momtok’s core values to support each other and have one another's back? Whitney I need answers!!

​The Soda Obsession

Disney

Let’s move on to another revelation in the show that I can’t stop thinking about. So you may or may not have caught that in every episode, the women mention their love of soda or have a giant soda in hand. My immediate thought was "what is up with this soda obsession?" Well, Mormons do not drink alcohol or hot beverages, as they have been told by God “Hot drinks are not for the body or belly.” Therefore Mormons like to indulge and treat themselves to a soda. Which is why in Utah, you’ll find Soda shops on almost every corner.

For these women, nothing brings them more joy than a soda. And no they aren’t slamming back a Diet Coke or Dr. Pepper. They’re drinking dirty sodas, which consist of a classic soda mixed with syrups or creams.

As shown in the show, Demi Engemann has a very specific Swig order which consists of sparkling water, sugar free coconut syrup, sugar free vanilla syrup, sugar free raspberry syrup, sugar free pineapple syrup and coconut cream.

I am desperate to try her drink. Does Swig ship? Or can someone please open a location in Miami?

​The Cereal Brand Heard Around The Country

Fred Hayes/Disney

During episode 3, we found out Demi Engemann confided in Whitney Leavitt during a girls trip about some intimate details regarding her sex life with husband Bret Engemann. Well, Whitney shared those details with other women in the group and the series producers. Whitney told producers, “What can I say? The fruity cereal has to do with taste,” in an interview during the episode, while smirking about it like a true villain.

Fast forward to later in the episode during Demi's Galentine’s Day celebration, Whitney thought it would be a funny prank to gift Demi a box of Fruity Pebbles and have her open the gift in front of the group (and the cameras), making this intimate detail of Demi’s marriage more public. But the prank of course, does not go the way Whitney had planned because Demi is not happy. I am so curious to know what Whitney thought Demi’s reaction would be?

And if Demi did send out texts about the intention of the evening, that was a low blow on Whitney’s end to gift her a box of Fruity Pebbles onscreen. And honestly, it's a bit hypocritical coming from Whitney, who's been preaching she wants to create a safe space with #Momtok. It’s a little sus.

​What Happened in Vegas?

Fred Hayes/Disney

One of the more dramatic moments of the series happens in Vegas…of all places! The group celebrates Layla’s birthday in a very non-traditional Mormon way, at Chippendales. It's revealed Jen Affleck’s husband Zac Affleck (yes — related to Ben Affleck — first cousins once removed) has a controlling and misogynistic ick to him when he questions her character and threatens to divorce Jen if she goes to the Chippendales show. Which 1) she knew nothing about, considering the show was a surprise and 2) she didn’t even stay to see the show!

In a very authentic display of friendship and sisterhood, the women really rally around Jen, voicing their concerns, and ultimately their disgust, for her husband. (This man even talked badly about her friends and their marriages, woof.) We don’t often see acts like this on reality TV. This felt very real and raw, and we must protect Jen at all costs.

The series ended with a few unanswered questions, #1 being will #MomTok survive this? And with this show being one of Hulu’s most-watched unscripted shows, we’re waiting patiently for Hulu to announce a second season.
