** Haruhi Suzumiya is described as being stunningly beautiful in both the novels and the anime.
** Mikuru is constantly being called beautiful, gorgeous, and one of the cutest girls in school, to point where a picture of her in Haruhi's bunny-girl suit was selling like wildfire among the male students. Of note is the fact that the narrator Kyon adores Mikuru and that [[Unreliable Narrator|his assessment is colored by that emotion]].

** Yoruichi points this out about herself when she first reveals that what everyone thought was a male talking cat is, in fact, a curvaceous (and initially very naked) woman. When she realises how flustered her nakedness has made Ichigo, [[Covert Pervert|who's trying not to look at her]], she points out that he should really get his full of her now while he has the chance because he'll never see such a perfect example of womanly beauty ever again. Ichigo is not at all amused. Soifon worships her as a goddess and this worship is [[Played for Laughs]] in omakes and [[Anime]] [[Filler]].
** Rangiku's curvaceous form is utterly irresistable. Both Kon and Keigo claim this (about her [[Absolute Cleavage]] especially).
** Orihime gets this on a couple of occasions. Not only do Kon and Keigo both worship her cleavage, [[Stalker
** When Riruka first gets a good look at Ichigo's face, she freezes for several moments before his hotness causes her to [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|cry out and collapse to her knees, breathless and flushed]]. Ichigo is [[Rule of Funny|rather confused]]. Later on, in a [[Call Back]] to this scene, when she summons Ichigo to her for training, she suddenly tells him to stop and come no closer with a deep blush on her face, leaving him confused yet again.

* Neviril of ''[[Simoun]]'' is supposed to be awe-strikingly stop-you-dead-in-your-tracks gorgeous. This troper can't say that he's known many who care for Neviril. Now Yun, on the other hand...
Line 38:
* In the comics, Daisy Duck is considered the most attractive woman in all of Duckburg, and has even done some modeling work. She looks just like [[Donald Duck]] [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|in a dress]].
* Vanity Smurf of ''[[The Smurfs]]'' is constantly informing us that he's the most handsome Smurf in the village, though it's unclear if we're supposed to accept this self-critique. Physically, he's drawn identically to the rest of the Smurfs.

== Film ==
* In the live-action ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (
* Dale Arden is described as beautiful in ''[[Flash Gordon (
* In ''Enigma'', Saffron Burrows' character is continually portrayed as the more attractive of the two female characters (the [[Hollywood Homely|other female character]] is played by [[Kate Winslet]])
* Lisa from ''[[The Room]]''. The main characters state that she's "so beautiful" almost ad nauseam.
* Taylor Vaughan from ''[[She's All That]]'' is described as the girl that every other girl wants to be and every guy wants to nail. However, it's also implied that her reputation is mostly built on an illusion.
* Liza Minnelli in ''[[Arthur (
* ''[[Twilight (
* Princess Leia in ''[[Star Wars]]''. Luke gushes "she's beautiful" upon seeing her for the first time in a grainy, miniature hologram.
* Elizabeth Berkley in ''[[Showgirls]]'' gets a lot of praise, especially for her breasts.
* ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture
* Mary Jane Watson in ''[[Spider-Man (
* ''[[A Knight's Tale]]'' has a great deal of fuss made of Jocelyn's beauty. The main character is immediately entranced by the sight of her and does everything in his power to gain her favor. Not much is made of the rest of the female cast. [[Played for Laughs]] when William is thinking of complementing Jocelyn's breasts, only for Kate (the only girl in his inner circle) to state that her breasts aren't that impressive.
* The plot of ''[[The Truth About Cats and Dogs]]'' is based around [[Uma Thurman]]'s character being ''much'' more attractive than [[
* Any adaptation of ''[[
* In ''[[Harry Potter (
** Gilderoy Lockhart, played by [[Kenneth Branagh]], has a considerable in-universe fan girl following.
** [[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Order of the Phoenix Members/Characters|Fleur Delacour]]. In the movies she is described as a breath-taking beauty with Veela (a stunningly beautiful magical creature) ancestry. Possibly justified in that [[Harry Potter (
* In ''[[Ocean's Eleven
* Another book-derived film example: ''[[Being There]]'', in which Chance the Gardener is described by a senator's wife as "very, very sexy" to Eve, who agrees with that assessment. In the book, he's described as a cross between a young Ted Kennedy and Cary Grant. Interestingly, Sellers deliberately gained weight for the role, believing that Chance would live a sedentary lifestyle.
* Kelly LeBrock in ''[[Weird Science (
* In ''[[El Mariachi]]'', Domino is supposed to be so beautiful that the local crimelord is willing to shower her with gifts to have her. The Mariachi sidesteps around this trope by saying, "She was the most beautiful creature I'd seen all day... next to the turtle." Director [[Robert Rodriguez]] apparently realized that his microscopic budget wasn't going to afford any supermodels, so he'd better not go overboard.
* Lucy and Johanna in ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (
* Summer Finn in ''[[
* In ''[[The Hottie and The Nottie]]'' [[
* Amanda Jones in ''[[Some Kind of Wonderful]]'' is said to be the most attractive girl in school , while tomboy Watts is pretty much invisible to her best friend Keith.

* Silken Floss is repeatedly called "the most beautiful woman ever" by the Octopus' goons in ''[[The Spirit (
* In ''[[
* In Nino's dream in ''[[Amelie]]'', the headshots in one of his pictures come alive and argue over whether Amelie is all that attractive. Some will only say that she's rather pretty, but another insists that she's beautiful. Interestingly, the character was written for [[Emily Watson]], and was probably going to be somewhat [[Hollywood Homely]] before [[Audrey Tautou]] was cast. During the press tour, one reporter even asked Jean-Pierre Jeunet why he had bucked his previous tradition by casting such a conventionally attractive actor in the lead.
* Characters in ''[[Clerks II]]'' describe Dante's [[Romantic False Lead]] as extremely beautiful. Not surprisingly, she's played by [[Kevin Smith|the director's]] wife.

Line 81:
* In ''[[The Voyage of the Dawn Treader]]'', the book had Lucy learning about a spell that would make her so beautiful that (according to descriptions of the spell book's illustration of her [[Imagine Spot]]) all of Narnia would be plunged into a bloody civil war as suitors fought for her hand.
* In ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'', Jane Bennett is "the most beautiful of the Bennett girls."
* Lanfear in [[Wheel of Time]] is described as the world's most beautiful woman, even though Graendal is described as much more attractive. Just look at their pictures on [[The Wheel of Time
== Live-Action TV ==
* In ''[[
** In season 7, Rachel chooses to hire a handsome male assistant instead of a more experienced woman, risking her job because he's ''just so pretty!'' Rachel, Phoebe, and even Chandler gush about how good-looking he is.
** Ross and Monica's cousin is so attractive that Ross forgets that ''he's related to her'', and Phoebe temporarily turns gay.
Line 91:
** Likewise, the first season episode with Victoria's Secret model Jill Goodacre. Chandler is nearly hypnotized by her hotness.
** Chloe, the girl Chandler and Joey constantly fawn over (before we're even introduced to her!) and Ross eventually cheats on Rachel with.
* Ginger on ''[[Gilligan's Island
* Nelle Porter is characterized as a sort of blonde goddess in ''[[Ally McBeal]]'', which factors heavily into her unlikely relationship with nebbishy John Cage.
* In ''[[The New Adventures of Old Christine]]'', Mr. Harrison is supposed to be so hot that [[Even the Guys Want Him]].
* ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''
** Cameron was told she got her job because she's pretty ("it's like having a nice piece of art in the lobby"), and could have breezed through life on looks alone, yet became a Doctor, which said something for her dedication and how much she cared.
** In the episode "Skin Deep" the team treats a 15 year old model. The repeatedly stated assumption is that she's so beautiful that no man could ''possibly'' pass up an opportunity to sleep with her {{spoiler|including her own father}}. This is a major assumption in their diagnosis.
Line 102:
** Another notable example is Hathor, who even without her seduction drugs was supposed to be irresistibly attractive.
* ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' had two regular female characters. One, Jennifer, was invariably treated as a sexpot. Her photo was frequently stolen from the lobby, she maintained her job despite refusing to do much of the work associated with her position ("Get us some coffee, Jennifer" "I don't do coffee." "Oh, I'll just get it myself." "Thank you, Mr. Carlson." "No, Jennifer, thank you."), and she had an endless series of (usually rich) suitors at her beck and call.
* ''[[Sex and
* ''[[Star Trek]]''
** On ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'', the production team loved to frame Jolene Blalock as [[Ms. Fanservice]] repeatedly. But on the show itself, her Vulcan character of T'Pol was presented as essentially shunned by the human crew early on. It was actually a symbol of [[Character Development]] on both sides when she was considered reasonably attractive "for a Vulcan". When stranded on a shuttlepod and thinking they were going to die, Reed mentioned to Trip how he thought T'Pol had a "nice bum", while Trip was dismissive of that. Ironically, Trip started to form a romantic relationship with her in the third season.
** [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20040822124705/memoryalpha/en/images/d/d6/Vash.jpg Vash] was supposedly so hot that she managed to attract virtually every male character on both ''[[Star Trek:
* Mary Shannon of ''[[In Plain Sight]]''. We're constantly told that she's gorgeous, a "hot blonde" and very attractive.
* Parodied by the "Mango" sketches on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', with the notion that Chris Kattan wearing gold-colored hot pants turns straight guys gay. And [[Ellen
* Brian Kinney in ''[[Queer
* ''[[The West Wing]]'': A number of men fall all over themselves to sing paeans to CJ's sexiness.
* In the 2006 version of ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'', the character of Kate is introduced in season three, replacing Marian and Djaq as the main female character. It's love at first sight for Much, and Allan isn't too far behind. Robin tells her that she's "beautiful", Archer isn't at all interested in joining the outlaws until Kate's life is endangered, and even Little John seems rather taken with her, referring to her as "a treasure". Prince John locks her up with the intention of raping her, Rufus the tax-collector kidnaps her and forces her to dance in front of him, and even a random tavern patron tries his luck.
* On ''[[Lizzie
* ''Every single woman'' that Major Nelson dated for the first five seasons of ''[[I
* ''[[
** In the episode "Eric's Hot Cousin," Eric's cousin is supposed to be so hot that Eric lusts after her and Donna and Jackie feel upstaged by her.
** Kelso goes on and on about how hot he is, and is never corrected. Apparently his hottitude is a matter of record in the T70S 'verse.
Line 120:
* Every DVD release of ''[[Mork and Mindy]]'' points out that Mindy is pretty.
* In ''[[Burn Notice]]'', Gabrielle Anwar's character is repeatedly referred to as attractive, even getting into parties, VIP club sections, et cetera solely on her looks.
* ''[[Law
* In ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]'', it is made extremely clear that everyone in-universe finds Olivia Benson ''extremely'' attractive. Guest star [[Rose McGowan]] also plays a swinger/con artist who is some type of [[Memetic Sex God]] who has almost every male in the episode falling at her feet.
* The character of Michelle Richardson in ''[[Skins]]'' is depicted as the best looking girl in school.
* In the BBC's adaptations of the Sally Lockhart stories by Philip Pullman, they cast [[Billie Piper]] as Sally. Now Pullman is a writer who does not go in for physical description on the whole and yet on the first page of 'The Ruby In The Smoke', Sally is described as 'uncommonly pretty'.
* In the ''[[
* Parodied in ''[[The Kids in The Hall]]'' with a film showing us "The Most Handsome Man in the World!", who is barely real-life average, strutting down the street, acting up to his title.
* In an early episode of ''[[Dallas]]'' Sue Ellen gushes over how handsome Cliff Barnes is.
Line 131:
* Jane on ''[[Coupling]]'' is certainly flirty as well as reasonably pretty, but in several episodes, she's hyped up more than would seem believable. One particular episode has Susan being impressed by Jane's breasts.
* ''[[Nip Tuck]]'' makes Julia McNamara's character the object of undying affection for both Sean and Christian. The guys (and later a girl) behave as though she is extremely beautiful. Christian gives her an eight out of ten.
* This trope was played with on an episode of ''[[
* In ''[[Gossip Girl]]'', Serena is described as always being the most attractive woman in the room. So much so that Blair (Leighton Messter, considered the more attractive by most watchers) has self esteem issues because of it.

* Drake from ''[[Drake and Josh]]''.

* Hyacinthe from ''[[Keeping Up Appearances]]'' has an unusual number of men over the course of the series get the palm sweats over her. It's usually the Major, whose advances Hyacinth tolerates to some extent because he's very-well-connected-socially. [[Rule of Funny]], really, and usually [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded.]] Same goes for Onslow. His wife Daisy is unaccountably fascinated with his body. Even Onslow is at a loss to comprehend it.
* In an episode of ''A Touch of Frost'' entitled "Deep Waters" a girl is pushed down a flight of stairs by a stalker. Throughout the entire episode she is repeatedly referred to as being ''one of the most attractive women in Denton'' by everyone including: Inspector Frost, her best mate, her boyfriend, her Dean, her stalker's best mates.
* On ''[[
* Phoebe Halliwell on ''[[
* Edie and Gabrielle were both praised for their appearances much more than the other main cast members on ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''.
* The Russian/Argentine telenovela titled ''Tango's Rhythm." One of the characters is repeatedly showered by complements throughout the show regarding her intelligence, charisma, but most of all, her "great beauty," that made her a searing [[Femme Fatale]] and had all the man literally fighting for and throwing themselves on her.
* Special attention has been drawn to the attractiveness of Sarah on ''[[Chuck]]'' on a few occasions.
* On ''[[
* In an episode of ''[[Medium]]'' the main character Alison Dubois spends half the episode talking about how attractive a woman she has dreamt about is.
* Played with in an episode of ''[[
* ''[[Family Matters]]'': Steve regards Laura Winslow as the most beautiful girl in the world (as do several of the other boys who show interest in her), remaining in love with her to the point of obsession throughout the show's duration.
* Brenda Chenowith in ''[[Six Feet Under]]'' has no problem seducing and having casual sex with lots of very good-looking men who tell her she's gorgeous.
* ''[[
* ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'': This trope is the very reason why Jan Brady will spend most (if not all) of her adult life cursing the name of her sister Marcia (to a long line of therapists trying to reconstruct her self-esteem, most likely), having spent her entire childhood being told Marcia is prettier than she is.
* In ''[[Being Human]]'', several women mention how attractive they find Mitchell, usually while talking to George.

* ''[[Suikoden V]]'': Lyon gets a lot of attention from the males, more than any other female, even more than [[Ms. Fanservice|Jean]]!

** There are repeated references to how incredibly beautiful both Rin and Saber are.
** Also, Gilgamesh's [[Rank Inflation|A+ Charisma rank]]. Supposedly this should make him more popular than most popular person on the ''planet'' (Saber has B Charisma "Suitable for a king of a country", while most popular person on the planet would have an A rank). He is quite literally described as [[So Beautiful It's a Curse|So Popular Its A Curse]].

How much of their power was meant to be based off of actual attractiveness and how much was meant to be pure magic is never really addressed.
