Costume Designer Claps Back At TikTok Creators Sparking Rumors The Friends And Gilmore Girls Casts Literally Shared Wardrobes: ‘Sorry’

by

As a die-hard fan of both “Friends” and “Gilmore Girls,” I have to say that Valerie Campbell’s clarification is like finding the last slice of pie at a family gathering – pure delight! For years, I’ve been speculating about the wardrobe connection between these two iconic shows, but it turns out my theories were as far-fetched as Ross and Rachel’s on-again, off-again relationship.

Despite not being part of the 2024 TV lineup, beloved series like “Friends” and “Gilmore Girls” remain timeless favorites that dwell within the hearts of numerous fans. Given their legendary status, which often places them among the greatest sitcoms ever produced, there are numerous whispers about behind-the-scenes facts that aren’t accurate. In the case of both these Warner Bros.-produced shows, a costume professional who worked on “Gilmore Girls” has refuted the claim that they shared a wardrobe.

The Friends And Gilmore Girls Rumor Sparked By Social Media

It’s not surprising that there was some overlap in production between the two popular sitcoms, ‘Friends’ and ‘Gilmore Girls’, since they were both produced under the same corporate umbrella and filmed on the WB lot during the early 2000s. This could potentially explain why ‘Friends’ and ‘Gilmore Girls’ are sometimes referred to as TV siblings, leading people to speculate that costumes might have been shared between the two shows, a theory that gained more credence after this video presented certain clothing items as supposed evidence.

I’m sorry, but that’s incorrect. In response to this discussion, customer Valerie Campbell clarified the situation with a straightforward comment. Here’s what she expressed about the video:

No we didn’t. Sorry we didn’t trade clothes. I worked on Gilmore Girls in costumes.

Valerie Campbell played a significant role in nearly all episodes (132 out of 153) during the multi-network run of ‘Gilmore Girls’, and she also handled the entire series for the Netflix miniseries ‘Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life’. Given her extensive involvement, it’s safe to say that Valerie Campbell has a good idea of where the show’s secrets are hidden. Additionally, she was the one who used social media to clarify the confusion surrounding the paternity drama left unresolved in the finale of ‘A Year in the Life’.

It appears the customer has a thorough understanding of this series, making her comments about this theory carrying significant credibility and gravitas.

What Really Happened With Gilmore Girls’ Costumes, According To Costumer Valerie Campbell

Valerie Campbell has been enthusiastically sharing her experiences from working on “Gilmore Girls” on social media platforms. Her latest piece, which can be found on TikTok, offers further insights into a topic she previously discussed. In this video, Campbell addresses the source and truth of a certain rumor surrounding her time on the show. Here’s an excerpt of how Campbell addressed and clarified the misconception:

Should a particular event occur and require us to rewear an ensemble, we aim to locate it once more. For Rory, Lorelai, and Emily, it’s safe to say that they wouldn’t casually stroll into the Friends wardrobe department and ask, “Hey, can we borrow some clothing?” Instead, a more formal approach would be more fitting for them.

Valerie Campbell explained that the primary explanation for the similar appearance of costumes across both shows was because most people working on the Warner Bros. lot frequently bought their clothing from the same shops. Additionally, she recounted an occasional instance where items had to be borrowed from a different production set.

It’s interesting to note that in a crunch, the costumes for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life were indeed taken from the wardrobe department of Supergirl. This kind of revelation, which is quite unusual yet supports common assumptions, often sparks theories among creators when they uncover such behind-the-scenes facts.

So there it is: the Friends/Gilmore Girls clothes-swapping theory is officially debunked, although this does sound like one of the most ridiculous Friends episodes that never happened. Those of you looking for fresh inspiration from GG can catch it all with a Netflix subscription, at the time of this writing. Meanwhile the entirety of Friends can be streamed with the use of a Max subscription, where it’s always been there for you…since it left Netflix.
