{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* While more action oriented princess Allura/Fala of ''[[Voltron]]''/''[[GoLion]]'' wore pink, Romelle/Amue wore a blue dress while she was less active, and switched to a pink [[Mini-Dress of Power]] when she took an active role.▼
* Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury from ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' primarily wears blue and is the most shy of the Inner Senshi, while Haruka Tenou/Sailor Uranus wears navy and gold. The very feminine Michiru/Sailor Neptune wears dark blue and teal.▼
* Minto Aizawa/Mew Mint from ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]''.▼
* One too many blue [[Pretty Cure]]s, [[Heartcatch Pretty Cure|Cure Marine]] and [[Suite Pretty Cure|Cure Beat]] being the only notable exceptions.▼
** This even applies in Curefics sometimes; [[Futari wa Pretty Cure Dragon|Cure Fortune]] is one such Cure that comes to mind.▼
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* When Jean Grey first appeared in ''[[X-Men]]'' #1, she was wearing a blue dress, jacket, and hat.▼
== [[Film]] ==

** In ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', Jasmine's main outfit is blue, meant to invoke the most precious of all things in a desert: water.
** Tiana gets a fancy blue dress in ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]''. On a side note, since it took place in [[The Roaring Twenties]], that color would have been seen as more feminine than Charlotte's wardrobe.
* Kida of ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire|Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'' wore blue, that matched nicely with her large blue eyes. The tattoos are also colored blue as well. In this case its the 'sadness' version.▼
** The color arrangements for her two outfits swap two shades of blue: she normally wears a dark blue sarong with pink and gold stripes on it with a light blue sash hanging down from the front (her bra is also light blue), but wears a long, flowing light blue dress at the end with a dark blue sash with pink chevron patterns, a vertical gold stripe down the middle, and gold outlines hanging down from the front (we only get to see part of it in the film, the full dress and its sash [[All There in the Manual|can be seen]] in this illustration).▼
* [[Thumbelina]]▼
* Yihwa Yeon's outfit in ''[[Tower of God]]'' consists of a royal blue sweater and some shorts over stockings. Mainly because fighting in a dress seems rather inconvenient. It also displays perfectly that all the females (aside from Nare and Miseng) are [[Subverted Trope|asskickers first and women second]].▼
** Maria however is truly blue feminine and a [[Princess Classic]], if one can believe Koon's twisted memories.▼
* The dress [[Mulan]] wore to infiltrate the invaded palace, disguised as a courtesan.
* Lady from ''[[Lady and the Tramp]]'', while never wearing clothes per se, receives a blue collar from her masters.
