When a character, usually a female character, gets made more attractive during the run of a show. Sometimes justified as [[She's All Grown Up|the actions of puberty]], when a younger character (or [[Real Life Writes the Plot|actress]]) starts filling out as they grow up.

* The Major had a breast-size-upgrade between The first season of ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'' and ''<nowiki>SAC: 2nd GiG</nowiki>''. She also started to wear pants, around the same time, so this goes both ways. She gets a new body between the two seasons, and openly state that she's working for the government because it gives her access to the most expensive prostheses. Which means that she actually gave ''herself'' a Fan Service Pack.
* Though it was in the outfits only, several of the seven {{spoiler|surviving members of the Northern Campaign}} in ''[[Claymore]]'' went from the skin-tight but fairly conservative Claymore uniforms to black uniforms that flash a bit of thigh post [[Time Skip]], and along with a few skirts one basically wears a leotard and no pants with [[Zettai Ryouiki]].

== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[DC Comics]] has [[media:amanda waller frame 3037.jpg|Amanda Waller]].
* [[X-Men (Comic Book)|Kitty Pryde]] has always been cute (if sometimes showing dubious taste in costumes) but definitely got hotter over the years. It helped that she was allowed to age over time, gradually going from a 13 year-old [[Tagalong Kid]] to a a sexy, confident 20-something. This culminated with her appearance in [[Joss Whedon]]'s ''Astonishing X-Men'', where she had an unexpectedly risque nude scene and finally got around to sleeping with Colossus after almost 30 years.
* Marrow from ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' came by this through artist fiat. Then they did it plot-wise. She's healed from injuries in a Skrull medical chamber and of course comes out that much hotter. ''Slightly'' handwaved in that her skeletal structure is very malleable (it's her power) but still.
** [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/45/Rachel_Summers.jpg Rachel Summers]{{Dead link}} started out in ''Uncanny X-Men'' as a skinny woman with a crew cut and a penchant for leotards and legwarmers (probably since it was the 80s). After a Wolverine-related injury, she was taken to Spiral's
* Duela Dent, was never that much of a looker
* Sally Acorn from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and ''[[Sonic the Comic]]''. At first in ''[[Sonic the Comic]]'', she was not that hot at all. She was only slighty feminine in the Archie comic at first. Then the new artist changed the character design, making her far more feminine.

▲* Happens a ''lot'' in [[Fanfic]], especially when a character has spent some time apart from the rest of the cast. In ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fandom, this tends to be signalled by the [[Stock Phrases]] "changed over the summer" and "[[Curves in All the Right Places]]".

▲* Pretty much the entire cast in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' [[Harry Potter (film)|movies]]. Justified in that the actors grew up along with the series, but the filmmakers do seem to delight in getting Hermione dolled up, putting Harry in bubble baths, and putting muscle shirts on Ron in the later films.
▲== Live Action TV ==
* Toshiko Sato, ''[[Torchwood]]''.
* Nyssa and Tegan get one each in ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
** To a lesser extent, Rory in the new series. As his badass levels increased, he got far more flattering clothes, a liberal amount of hair gel and was put in some very nice [[Good-Looking Privates|uniforms]].
* Chloe O'Brian, ''[[24
* Through some kind of time-travel wackiness, Trance from ''[[Andromeda]]'' went from being a purple alien babe to a scaly, autumn-colored babe. It may have been one of those things to make the makeup easier on the actress. But she was about equally hot in either form, really.
* Willow in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Her wardrobe started off decidedly frumpy, as though she had been dressed by her mom, then became progressively trendier, moving on to cute. This was half [[Executive Meddling]] (with corresponding [[Writer Revolt]]) and half intentional on the part of the writers to show her becoming more outgoing and
* Meadow Soprano in ''[[The Sopranos]]''. To such an extent that her first post-18th episode in Season 3 has her in a bikini.
* Quinn in ''[[Zoey 101]]'', who started as a [[Hollywood Homely]] [[Extroverted Nerd]].

** And though Carly herself was pretty attractive to begin with, as time went on... ''whoa.''

* Otacon from ''[[Metal Gear]]'', who was upgraded from a standard ratty-looking nerd into an exceptionally lovely [[Hollywood Nerd]] (probably to compensate for [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up|what happens to Snake]]). And Solid Snake himself. He was average-to-good-looking in the concept art for ''[[Metal Gear (video game)|Metal Gear]]'' and pretty ugly and middle-aged in ''[[Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake]]'', but in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' he was entirely redesigned and ended up completely ''smoking''.
* Ivy in the ''[[Soul Series]]'' keeps [http://www.gamesradar.com/us/ps3/game/news/article.jsp?sectionId=1006&articleId=20070613124925139083&releaseId=20070613105150193045 getting bigger and bigger.]{{Dead link}} The [[Jiggle Physics|magnitude and degrees of freedom]] ramp up with each release. The ''Soulcalibur'' gals in general tend to fall under this. [[Breast Expansion|If their breasts don't get bigger]], [[Stripperiffic|their default outfits get smaller.]]

* In ''[[Mass Effect (video game)|Mass Effect 1]]'', Ashley Williams was an uptight hair-bundled-at-all-times [[Sergeant Rock]]. In ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', she [[Letting Her Hair Down|let her hair down]] and started wearing form-fitting combat clothing with [[Zettai Ryouiki]] (it's painted on, so there is no actual skin exposure) instead of bulky armor. But then again, she did [[Rank Up|earn]] a right to a [[Custom Uniform]]...

* [[The Nostalgia Critic]] went from a typically lazy, chubby, kinda old-looking nerd who didn't know how to dress himself to someone who is actually quite well put-together. Bear in mind that we're not talking about his sanity.▼

* Dave Davenport from ''[[Narbonic]]'' is a male example, starting off as very dumpy and unattractive before growing progressively more handsome as the comic progressed. For comparison, check out the left (earlier) and right (later) pictures in [http://www.narbonic.com/cast.html Dave's official bio].

* In ''[[PvP]]'', after Francis and Marcy have sex, they "[[Level Up At Intimacy 5]]" and become three years older. As part of her next experience level package, Marcy gains "Hips and boobs", and DAMN does she look hot! Though her newly enhanced physique gets toned down in subsequent instalments (Darn it). And in a moment of utter brilliance - Brent predicted the whole event years ago, as an out of continuity joke. Kurtz keeping up with his own continuity, over five years later on a nearly daily strip? That's ''awesome'' right there.

* One of the newer characters in ''[[Khaos Komix]]'', Colin, got a reboot after a few pages. His original design resembled another character, Tom, a bit too much for comfort. The artist edited his previous images with his new design, though it looks somewhat awkward.

* Foxxy Love in ''[[Drawn Together]]'' had permanently erect nipples in Seasons 2 and 3 (in Season 1 they were erect only in tense moments).
* Parodied in ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'', when Brock Samson's [[Drill Sergeant Nasty|old mentor]] gets an [[Easy Sex Change]]. Played straight with Dr. Mrs. The Monarch's costume change.

** Inverted in the cases of Catwoman and Poison Ivy, who became significantly less human-looking (and hence, less hot) in the transition from B:TAS to The New Batman Adventures.
* After the incident with Asteroid M in ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'', Mystique ended up changing from her comic outfit into a leather crop top, miniskirt, and matching high-heeled boots. There are a few who might think she was better before, or that each form had its ups and downs.
