* In ''Literature/ShadowOfTheConqueror,'' many Hamahrans find the [[DarkSkinnedBlond Tuerasians]] particularly appealing, especially given their [[NoNudityTaboo customs]].

* ''Film/NotAnotherTeenMovie'': Areola, the NonSpecificallyForeign ForeignExchangeStudent who's always naked. Lampshaded, of course.

** Spain/Mexico/Cuba: Creator/AntonioBanderas, Creator/BenicioDelToro, Creator/PenelopeCruz, Creator/SalmaHayek.

** United Kingdom: Creator/HughGrant, Creator/CaryGrant, Creator/EwanMcGregor, Creator/SeanConnery, Liz Hurley, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': Queen Cersei and her brother Ser Jaime Lannister both note the attractiveness of Taena's "exotic" features. Taena married a Westerosi lord. Originally she is from Myr, one of the Free Cities in Essos, so she looks exotic to Westerosi characters.
-->'''Cersei''': (her point of view) The Myrish woman was too beautiful by half; long-legged and full-breasted, with smooth olive skin, ripe lips, huge dark eyes, and thick black hair that always looked as if she'd just come from bed. She even smells of sin, like some exotic lotus.

* ''Anime/TheLaughingSalesman'': Exploited. The real reason why Chiko Shimai wanted to travel across the world [[spoiler: is to find a boyfriend and she wants to exploit her foreign background to get their attention.]]
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'': It's implied that Andrew Waltfeld found her locally during his service in the Middle East. Her outfit is pretty much a modernized BedlahBabe, and casting a non-native Japanese speaker[[note]]Vivian Hsu hails from Taiwan, and mastered Japanese as part of breaking out on the Japanese idol pop scene, big enough to still land this role ''years later''[[/note]] helps push this trope even more.

* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'''s Akio Ohtori is an extremely attractive, heavily implied to be Indian AmbiguouslyBrown man who, during the anime's course, has seduced ''a damn lot'' of people including but not limited to: [[TheHero the heroine]], the heroine's best friend, the student council head, the student council head's best friend/pawn/rival/gay love interest (it's complicated), and his fiancee's [[MrsRobinson mother]]. Please note that not all of aforementioned encounters [[DepravedBisexual are female]] and that the vast majority of them are [[Ephebophile underage]].

** Doreah suggests her exotic appeal is why Drogo chose Daenerys as his wife. Daenerys is a petite, pale-skinned and silver-haired woman who comes from an ancient family that traces their ancestry to Old Valyria (corresponding to Ancient Rome) and who ruled over the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. The Dothraki have copper-toned skin, dark eyes and dark hair.

A type of [[MsFanservice Ms.]] or MrFanservice who has the added spice of being from a different culture than the main setting. This trope isn’t for fanservice characters who just happen to be foreigners, but for characters whose origins are played up as part of their sex appeal. This can mean fetishizing cultural practices such as language and customs, [[PhenotypeStereotype stereotypical ethnic features]], or simply the fact that the character comes from somewhere foreign. Additionally, this trope can be applied to a single character or as a [[PlanetOfHats trait shared by their entire culture]] -- all that matters is that it's applied to characters who would be considered foreign by the main characters or target audience.

Related to ForeignCultureFetish, where the culture itself is the object of admiration, and RaceFetish, which emphasizes physical differences rather than cultural ones. GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe is the SpeculativeFiction analogue of this.
