Dress like the most bubbly chef in Stars Hollow! This Sookie St. James costume makes it easy to re-create her chef coat outfit from Gilmore Girls. You’ll embody the aesthetic of the Dragonfly Inn. Learn how below.
Why You’ll Love This Sookie St. James Costume
Sookie St. James is Lorelai’s best friend and business partner at the Dragonfly Inn. While she works, she most commonly wears bright and colorful chef clothes, which are a very specific type of fashion made especially for the kitchen.
Sookie also often wears a bandaid on Gilmore Girls to highlight her character’s clumsy nature as a chef.
I’m guessing you probably love her for her charming, down-to-earth, bubbly personality, as well as her loyalty, too. Feel free to giggle frequently while dressed in this costume!
Recreate Sookie’s Chef Outfit from Gilmore Girls
Purple Bandana
Sookie wears a classic bandana in the kitchen so often.
In my mind, I think “purple” when I think of Sookie’s bandana. However, feel free to wear another color if you have one.
Wig of Auburn Hair with Pigtails
Sookie most often wears her auburn hair in cute pigtails under her bandana. If you’re looking for the most accurate hair, this auburn wig will give you that. While the pigtails are higher than Sookie wears them, they will be under a bandana, so only the bottoms will peek out like Sookie.
However, you can also put your own hair in pigtails!
Colorful Chef Coat
Sookie is known for her job as a chef, and she wears the most vibrant and colorful chef gear. I love this bright blue chef’s jacket to get her bold aesthetic, and it compliments the purple bandana well.
Dragonfly Lapel Pin
While Sookie doesn’t wear a dragonfly pin, I thought this gold dragonfly pin was a great symbol of the Dragonfly Inn’s logo. It will round out the costume.
Spatula
A spatula (or other kitchen accessory) is one optional small detail that will really put the finishing touches on this costume.
Apron
Sookie often wears a white half-apron in the kitchen, and this one totally fits the bill.
Chef’s Pants
While you can wear any dark pants of your choice for this costume, traditional chef’s pants are the perfect option.
Crocs Black Clogs
Lastly, while you can wear any dark shoes with this costume, these black Crocs clogs are true to the aesthetic of a chef.

This Gilmore Girls-inspired Sookie St. James costume captures her quirky culinary style and charm. Wearing this outfit is a delightful nod to Sookie’s infectious spirit and flair in the kitchen.
