Line 19:
* A tragic version in ''[[Sunset Boulevard]]'', as she's breathtakingly attractive only in her own mind--"I'm ready for my closeup, Mister Director."
** It's also a [[Subverted Trope|subversion]] - it's a Grand Staircase ''Exit''.
* ''[[Igor]]''—Eva makes her entrance just before the Evil Science Fair, complete with [[Shout-Out]] to the ''[[Sunset Boulevard]]'' scene.
* Eliza's official debut at the big fancy ball in ''[[My Fair Lady]]''.
* Subverted in ''[[Ever After (film)|Ever After]]''—she makes her entrance all right, but [[It Gets Worse]].
** Although, notably, she enters ''up'' the stairs, not down.
* Lainey Boggs shows off her new look after her makeover in ''[[She's All That]]'', although this is done on the stairs in her suburban home.
* Daphne makes several of these in ''[[What a Girl Wants]]''. They proceed from funny, to serious, to heartbreaking as her spirit is slowly broken down and she conforms to upper class British society.
* [[Jerry Lewis]] in ''[[Cinderfella]]'' shows up at the grand ball in a big entrance on a ''huge'' staircase.
* Loki in ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'' shows up at a museum gala in Stuttgart, Germany, strolling down a huge marble suitcase in an [[Badass in a Nice Suit|impeccable suit]] to the soothing strains of a string quartet.
* In Disney's [[Live Action Adaptation|live action]] ''[[Cinderella (2016 filme)|Cinderella]]'' from 2016, Cinderella accomplishes this quite by accident, arriving at the ball a bit past fashionably late, just as the first dance -- for which the Prince will choose his partner -- is announced. Her appearance at the top of the stairs leading down to the dance floor is taken by everyone (other than herself, the prince, and a few others) as a bit of pre-arranged theatre.
== [[Film]] - Animated ==
* ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'', as shown above.
