(Gilmore Girls fan site)Sorry for the mundane title. But, I’m sure most of us are familiar with this cliche. Mousy girl goes unnoticed by a guy (her crush, usually) until she takes her glasses off and suddenly he realizes that she’s a raving beauty. Sometimes the guy isn’t even necessary. The only essential is taking off the glasses and suddenly a girl or woman is good looking.
Gilmore Girls, to its credit, subverted the stereotype. Instead of Zach suddenly falling for Lane when she took her glasses off, they had already been dating when she decided to try contacts. And, his reaction? He didn’t like it. He thought she looked better with her glasses. He even teamed up with Mrs. Kim to try and convince Lane that she should wear them. It was nice, but I’m still hard to please. As a glasses wearer myself, I can’t help thinking it would have been even nicer if the glasses weren’t an issue. If Lane had just continued to wear them, perfectly content. Or, if they had to be a plot point, if Lane had been the one to profess a preference for her glasses. I can’t be the only one who looks at myself in the mirror, with my glasses, and has no problem with what I see. I think I look better with glasses then without them. But, even if Lane didn’t have a glasses fetish like I do, wouldn’t it have been better if she didn’t make a point of not wearing them?
Another character with glasses was April. When the show ended, she seemed to be subverting the stereotype as well, and in a way I liked better than Lane. There was no question about her losing her glasses, no one telling her she’d look so much prettier without them. Even in season 7, when she looked older and maybe more fashionable (I guess. I’ve always dressed for comfort,and wouldn’t know fashion if it knocked on my front door) it was never implied by her or anyone that losing the glasses would be the finishing touch. They didn’t hinder her. But, April was only what? 13 or 14 at the end of the series? If April had come on to the show at age 16, would there have been the ’whipping off the glasses and boy asking, “where have you been hiding all my life?” or a Gilmorian equivalent scene’?

I believe Lorelai wore glasses in the episode where Dean went to Friday night dinner at Richard and Emily’s. But, I might be wrong.
Except where otherwise noted, content on this site 
Does Lorelai wear glasses?
Now that I think of it, I haven’t seen this cliché in a long time in any movies or TV shows. Maybe that’s a good sign.
And when you mentioned Gilmore Girls and glasses, what I thought of was the one episode of GG in which Lorelai wore glasses. (I’ve got to make a note of which episode that is, because I keep forgetting which one it is.) She was wearing narrow, dark frames and a red, patterned sweater vest. I thought that really looked good, actually.
It’s a myth that glasses detract from beauty. Rather, they’re like an accessory. They can enhance beauty, if you choose them to do so.
