* [[Kate Daniels]] bought her black leather jacket in her teenaged "bravo" days, when she was deliberating trying to invoke this trope. [[Character Development|Developing]] into a more mature, sensible adult doesn't stop her from wearing leather at every chance, though, because leather affords some protection from attacks.
* In her first appearance in [[Time Scout (Literature)|Time Scout]], Margo Smith is wearing a nigh-heart-stopping tight leather miniskirt. A character later describes her as "doe eyed one second, hell bent for leather the next".

* [[Robot Girl|Cameron]] from ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' has a leather jacket.
* The short-lived series ''[[Roar (TV)|Roar]]''. This was historically inaccurate, [[Rule of Cool|as the actors themselves acknowledged]].
