Maybe she's the [[Girl Next Door]] who's just gotten a makeover, and it's time to show her family. Maybe she's the Cinderella [[Expy]] making her grand entrance at the ball. Maybe she's just finally ready for her date. So how does she ensure her entrance 'wows' everyone there?
 
She'll appear at the top of a wide, sweeping staircase. (Bonus points for marble banisters, fancy new carpeting, or spotlights.) She pauses a moment, either at the top or a few steps down, so everyone has a chance to take in her beauty, how nice her face is, and her elegant hair and clothes (would even involve a [[Pimped -Out Dress]] in older stories). Once noticed, she slowly and gracefully descends.
 
This is perhaps the only way to justify the camera starting at the feet and slowly panning up the figure. When wearing a dress with a long skirt, stepping down gives her a chance to show off [[Nice Shoes|her shoes]] and [[She's Got Legs|legs]] without being immodest.
 
Often, but not necessarily, combined with [[She Cleans Up Nicely]].
