Line 70:
* [[Beerfest]]
* ''[[Armageddon]]'' had the Russian astronaut wear a ushanka hat and ''Born in USSR'' t-shirt. On a space station. To be honest, he ''was'' called a little weird.
* In the ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' films:
** Kingsley Shacklebolt.
** Possible example in ''[[Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire]]'': Parvati and Padma wear saris to the Yule Ball.
Line 80:
* Parodied in the [[Discworld]] book ''[[Discworld/Jingo|Jingo]]'', where a group of ambassadors to Ankh-Morpork are described thusly:
{{quote|They wore their national costumes, but since by and large their national costumes were what the peasants wore they looked slightly out of place in them. Their bodies wore feathers and silks, but their minds persistently wore suits.}}
*In [[Belisarius Series]] Irene as ambassador of Rome wears Roman court dress-in India-which was like walking around in an oven. She wanted male courtiers to look at "Rome" rather then "woman to drool over".
**When she married Kungas after he declared himself King of the Kushans, Irene dressed like a Kushan queen naturally enough.
