Forrest Gump Jenny Curran Adult Fancy Dress Costume for Women

Product Information

I realize I’m a bit late on this one, so let’s pretend it’s more of a reveal, like “Hey, everyone, look how good looking I am!” To fully embrace the Forrest Gump character at your Halloween party or cosplay event, it's important to act like him too! Here are some tips to help you get into character: One day when Jenny isn't at school, Forrest goes to her farm house. Jenny's drunken father pursues Jenny and Forrest, but they hide in a cornfield, and he doesn't find them, presumably because he's too drunk to do so. A frightened Jenny instructs Forrest to kneel down and help her pray to God. She repeats, "Dear God, make me a bird, so that I can fly far, far, far away from here.”

Finally, Forrest ponders on whether Lt. Dan’s life philosophy about having a destiny, or his mother’s life philosophy about floating around accidentally on a breeze is accurate — eventually deciding that both of them are right. Forrest then tearfully tells Jenny that he misses her and promises to be near if she needs anything. He leaves a letter from little Forrest, who is mentioned to not have wanted his father to open it, and tearfully walks away. Since the audience gets to see Jenny throughout her life, we also get to see her various styles as well. From sweet teenage girl to a hippie girl, and to full grown woman. As for a hippie look, Jenny wears a loose cotton dress topped with long brown vest, a brown belt, brown suede boots, and many accessories.

Why Best Jenny and Forrest Gump Halloween Costumes Is Necessary?

One evening, Forrest proposes to Jenny. She declines saying, “You don’t want to marry me.” Her hesitation prompts Forrest to exclaim, “I’m not a smart man, but I know what love is” before stepping outside. That night, Jenny climbs into bed with Forrest. She tells him that she does indeed love him (her first time admitting it aloud) and makes love to Forrest for the first time. The following morning, she leaves in a taxi, leaving behind Forrest’s Congressional Medal of Honor and prompting his 3-year run. One day, partly in an attempt to rebuild her life, Jenny arrives at Forrest's home unannounced and stays with him for a while. She sleeps excessively prompting Forrest to remark that it is as if she hasn’t slept in years. Forrest explains that every morning, they'd walk often and while he did all the talking (sharing war, ping pong, shrimping tales, and his own mom going to heaven where her mother was), Jenny would listen.

We had a funny sequence where they were [desegregation] busing in Florida at the same time, so people were angry about either the busing, or [their] kids having to go to school with the kid who had AIDS. So there was a big conflict." Sure he could have bought one to be have exact replicas but those are so boring (and expensive!) However, this is the look we were going for… To dress like Forrest Gump, you'll need a few key items. First, start with a pair of red athletic running shorts. These are the iconic shorts that Forrest wears throughout the movie, so they're a must-have item for any Forrest Gump costume.

Next, you'll need a yellow jersey polo shirt to complete the look. Make sure to choose a shirt that fits well and is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. So I wanted a white lace and/or flowy dress, fringe vest, and flower crown. I was already planning on wearing my tall brown boots so that was all set.

Jenny, presumably homeless, is singing on the street corner for spare change when invited by a stranger to go to San Francisco.
