Line 24:
* ''[[Trinity Blood]]''. Being [[Perpetual Poverty|Perpetually Broke]] has never looked so good, and it must feel great being a [[Church Militant]] wearing such elaborate and sexy garments -though Abel's robe gets torn off all the time, Tres is a bullet wall and Esther isn't immune to wounds either. The vampires are of course uncannily beautiful, being vampires and all, but so are almost all the human characters (see more in the evil part of the trope). Catherina has the complete dashing beauty + regal paraphernalia in addition to [[Princess Curls]].
* ''[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sKUL4wxW9Rw/TG2_1Nr3eVI/AAAAAAAABDA/aTiD1--yuI0/s1600/%5Blarge%5D%5BAnimePaper%5Dscans_Count-Cain_Ramius_51807.jpg Cain]'' ''[http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww8/Vmanga13lover/Godchild/cain_h.jpg Hargreaves]'' from ''Count Cain'' is also a good example of this.
* Most of Rumiko Takahashi's characters don't fit this trope. But there are some exceptions. Some of the beautiful people in her series are Kuno and Kodachi from ''[[Ranma
* Anyone in ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'', which pokes great fun in the snooty, upper-crust societies in high schools.
* Justified in ''[[Gundam Seed]]''. You'd expect [[Designer Babies]] to be prettier than everyone else.
Line 115:
** See also just about every other "young single people living in the city" sitcom of the last two decades.
* In ''[[The Cosby Show]],'' nobody wore the same outfit twice, everyone's hair was perfect when they woke up, and the parents were overachievers who could catch up on twenty tasks before breakfast. In fairness, the parents in question were a doctor and a lawyer, so money was probably not a problem, but they should have had a lot heavier demands on their time.
* Many, many, many sitcoms on [[Nickelodeon]] and [[Disney Channel]] take place in a world where everyone is [[Living in a Furniture Store]], everyone looks pretty except for ([[Informed Attribute|we're told]]) the resident [[Hollywood Homely]], and everything is decorated in bold, gaudy primary colors. ''[[Drake and Josh]]'' and ''[[
* The BBC comedy series ''[[Beautiful People]]'' both supports and subverts this trope.
* [[H 20 Just Add Water]], an Australian show about beautiful teenage girls who transform into mermaids, is a very bad offender of this trope. Everyone looks gorgeous whether they're drowning, dry or dripping wet.
