* ''[[Fairy Tail]]'':
** Lucy Heartfilia is constantly seen changing outfits throughout the series and while she mostly prefers adventuring in her blue-and-white default, she has been prone to wear whatever is convenient.

* Mukuro Rokudo from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]''.

* Founding [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avenger]] and ''[[Ant-Man]]'' co-star Janet Van Dyne (aka "The Wasp") constantly makes alterations to her costume. Justified in-universe, as Wasp actually ''is'' a fashionista.
* ''All'' of the kids from ''[[Runaways]]''.
Line 50:
* Kanaya of ''[[Homestuck]]'' is one of the few [[All Trolls Are Different|trolls]] who is in any way interested in fashion, and as a result she can be seen wearing various other outfits than the default black-shirt-with-sign a lot more than the other trolls. She is also arguably one of the more [[Badass]], and her trademark weapon is a tube of lipstick that transforms into a ''[[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw]]''.
* ''[[Patchwork and Lace]]'' features Lilika, a monster hunter who goes into action wearing lolita-style outfits.

* ''[[RWBY]]'' has Coco Adel, leader of Team CFVY: elegant, stylish, and carrying a minigun in her handbag. During the Grimm incursion into Vale at the end of volume 2, she informed an Alpha Grimm that it had to die because it had just demolished her favorite clothing shop.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Kimiko from ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]'' takes this [[Up to Eleven]] with her [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]; except for her regular monk atire, you'll probably never see her wearing the same clothes (or hairstyle... or even hair color) twice
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

* Puss of Puss In Boots the cartoon.
