=== Tropes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: "Rain''bow'' Dash" and "intimate de''tails''".
* [[Also Sprach Zarathustra]]: The opening of the song is used in Twilight Sparkle's introduction in the fashion show, complementing her starry-night dress.
* [[Busby Berkeley Number]]: Rarity's song has elements of this.
* [[Call Back]]: Applejack shows her [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* [[Cat Up a Tree]]: The only thing the ponies could think of to get Rarity out of her house was to put Opalescence in a tree.
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Rarity forcing Fluttershy to tell her honest feelings about her dress sets up Fluttershy to have a surprising well of technical sewing knowledge that comes in handy later.

* [[Empathy Pet]]: Opal purrs and curvettes around the first dresses, but hisses and growls at the redesigns.
* [[Fashion Show]]:
** ''FiM'' is noteworthy for making an episode about a fashion show into a ''parody'' of the fashion industry (also seen in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** The first fashion show in this episode is a blatant parody. The amateurish dresses essentially designed by Rarity's friends may be ridiculous, but they look familiar enough in context of the stereotypical image of a fashion show.
** In the second show, Rarity gets to show her real designs to Hoity Toity at her boutique. Some effort is put into making it quite watchable without the earlier irony, with Rarity providing magical special effects to introduce each pony and her outfit.
