Alexis Bledel’s eyes are famously known for their striking blue color.
The mystery or fascination surrounding her eye color is primarily due to how vivid and intense it appears, especially in film and photography. This intensity can sometimes be attributed to lighting and camera effects, which can enhance the natural color of an actor’s eyes on screen.
In reality, eye color is determined by genetics and the amount of melanin in the iris. Bledel’s bright blue eyes are a result of low levels of melanin.
While there is no real “mystery” in a scientific sense, it’s her distinctively bright blue eyes that have become a signature feature, making them a notable and memorable aspect of her appearance.
Her eyes have been a key part of her acting, especially in “Gilmore Girls” where they helped shape her character, Rory Gilmore, adding a touch of innocence and depth.
Alexis usually kept her dating life private, but her relationship with Ventimiglia was pretty well-known. He was her love interest Jess in “Gilmore Girls,” and off-screen, they were together for a good while, until they split up in June 2006.
They started dating when their characters got together in the second season of the show, and there were even rumors about them thinking about getting married. Fans were really into this because it mixed their real-life romance with their TV show relationship. Just like Alexis is known for her striking blue eyes, Milo is recognized for his unique crooked mouth.
Fast forward to the present day, nearly two decades after “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” first hit theaters, its stars reunited to support America Ferrera at a SAG-AFTRA-hosted Barbie screening and Q&A in New York City on Friday.
The Barbie star posed alongside her former costars, Alexis Bledel, Amber Tamblyn, and Blake Lively, in the same outfit she wore to the special occasion. Fittingly, the stars of the beloved 2005 movie swapped denim for various shades of Barbie-pink.
In the snap, they all linked arms and smiled together, with Bledel wearing a deep pink dress, Tamblyn sporting a baby-pink pantsuit, and Lively opting for a neon-pink dress.
Ferrera complemented her friends’ hues of pink in a chic, draped white dress. On X (formerly Twitter), Happy, Sad, Confused podcast host Josh Horowitz shared a photo of the stars’ Friday reunion and revealed that he chatted with Lively, 36.
“I just need everyone to know I witnessed the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants women reunite in front of my eyes tonight and Blake Lively and I talked about how lazy Santa is,” he wrote. “Now I’m getting tacos from a food truck.”
