'''Mickey:''' Those are real %&$#ing stars! }}

 

A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Symbol Motif Clothing]].

 

 

 

* Eternity from the [[Marvel Universe]]. Quasar (who is the Champion of Eternity... Well, actually Infinity, but they're the same being or... something) tends to have this weird effect with his cloak.

* [[Captain Mar-Vell|Genis-Vell]] had a similar deal going with the blue portion of his uniform.

** As did Captain Mar-Vell in ''Paradise X''.

* Star Boy in ''[[The Legion of Super Heroes]]'' seemed to have this a number of [[Retool|Re Tools]] back, although it was clear from context that it was just a normal shirt which looks like it's made of stars.

** Now, it's a map of the multiverse.

** The ''Legionnaires'' duplicate of Laurel Gand, Andromeda, wore a starfield outfit. In reboot continuity, so did her alleged ancestor Lar Gand (M'onel).

* Donna Troy, [[Wonder Woman]]'s former [[Sidekick]], has an outfit made out of starfield fabric. Some artists even give her Star Spangled '''Hair'''! (like in the image)

* [[Green Lantern]] Kyle Rayner used one of these during his more recent time as Ion.

* At times, you could see stars on the costume of Marvel UK's Dark Angel (originally Hell's Angel.)

** Her costume was made out of The Fabric of the Universe.

* "Building a Mystery" by [[Sarah McLachlan]] has a dress like this. It's made with real stars.

 

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

* The god Ao in the ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' setting gets around like this.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* [[Final Fantasy VIII]]'s final transformation of the final boss, Ultimecia, has a huge cloak of stars against a starry background like she is absorbing the universe.

* The appearance of ''[[Metal Slug]] 5'''s [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|completely-unrelated-to-the-rest-of-the-game]] [[Final Boss]] is that of a demonic silhouette literally made of space. With a [[Attack Its Weak Point|skull]] vaguely emerging from the belly.

* There are a number of ''[[Subeta]]'' wardrobe items that look like this.

* The Titan herald Agalon the Observer in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' has stars all over his body.

** The [[Revenue Enhancing Devices|Celestial Steed]] is a mount made of the same stuff Algalon is.

** Not to mention the miniboss Monstar from the first game. Justified though in that {{spoiler|he actually was a mass of star kids}}.

* A subtle example from the 11th ''[[Touhou Project|Touhou]]'' game, ''Subterranean Animism''. The [[Final Boss]] is a hell-raven girl sporting a white cape and large black wings. The cape normally drapes over her folded wings - when they are spread open, the cape trails behind and you can the see the inside resembles a field of stars. Probably related to her having the "power of the Sun" (read: nuclear fusion).

** It looks even cooler in {{spoiler|Hisotensoku}}. The design on the inside of her cape actually moves around.

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

** [[Word of God]] indicated that this was a Martian personal ornamentation... thingy.

*** Namely artificial gemstones and antigravity beads for that floaty look. Yes, even Martian jewelry uses ubertech.

 

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* Nocturne of ''[[Danny Phantom]]''.
