* While the ''VideoGame/JustDance'' series has had its fair share of distinct-looking alien coaches, by far the most textbook example of this trope has to be Si'ha Nova, the coach for "[[Music/DuaLipa Levitating]]" from ''2022''. Dressed in a slinky gold MinidressOfPower, the character is established as the love interest to another coach from that same game, [[InterdimensionalTraveler the Traveler]] from "[[Music/JustinTimberlake Rock Your Body]]", and they eventually go on to have a son, Wanderlust, who himself could be seen as a {{genderflip}}ped example of the trope, being himself an attractive blue-skinned space deity. Other attractive unusually-colored aliens include pink-skinned Masi'el from "Wet Tennis" and "Woof" and green-skinned Yrimm from "Makeba".

** Leela is a deliberate {{Subversion}}. While Fry and Zapp find her attractive, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome most humans find her one-eyed look incredibly off-putting]]. That, and [[spoiler:she looks more human than not because, unbeknownst to herself, she ''is'' [[HumanAllAlong human--specifically a human mutant whose parents passed her off as an alien because it's illegal for mutants to live outside the sewers]].]]

*** ''ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel1977'' has Darth Talon, a [[DarkActionGirl Lady of the Sith]] who is red with black tattoos (making her look like a [[DistaffCounterpart female Darth Maul]]) and [[SexyVillainsChasteHeroes dresses just as revealing]] as any other female Twi'lek.

** Also from the Prequels, perhaps the race that exemplifies this trope the most are the Mirialans, the race of which Luminara Unduli, Barriss Offee, and the Seventh Sister are a part of. All of them have olive green skin, black hair and sometimes facial tattoos. Also like the Togruta, there are no known Mirialan slaves, and the most prominent ones in the series are Force-sensitive.

* Damaya Lashunta in ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}''. The Lashunta are a species of RubberForeheadAliens from the setting's equivalent of Venus (which, in proper PlanetaryRomance fashion, is a lush jungle world). Damaya, the [[ProudScholarRace scholars]], resemble beautiful humanoids with insect antennae, while the [[ProudWarriorRace Korasha]] are short, squatty, brash, possibly hairy, and a lot less elegant (but badass and [[AmazonianBeauty hardly lacking in ruggedness]]). Both genders are psychic. In 1E, this was even more blatant, as the castes were tied entirely to gender (all Damaya were female and all Korasha were male), but 2E and ''TabletopGame/{{Starfinder}}'' retconned it into Pathfinder-era Lashunta being very strict about gender roles; biologically, what caste one becomes as an adult depends on preference and biological pressure.

* ''Auf zwei Planeten'' (''Two Planets''): Although not portrayed as sexy (she is from a book written in 1897 by a German science teacher), the Martian La is shown as attractive. She has [[KaleidoscopeEyes large eyes that change color]] and [[HeroesWantRedheads reddish-blond hair]]. She ends up marrying Earthman Josef Saltner.

* [[GenkiGirl D'Vana]] [[PluckyGirl Tendi]] of ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks''.

* Discussed in ''Fanfic/AvengersInfiniteWars'', particularly in regards to Aayla Secura, Ahsoka Tano and Bariss Offee; Aayla has a tentative attraction to Steve Rogers and Ahsoka and Bariss are attracted to both Peter Parker and each other. When Tony Stark learns about Peter's potential romantic relationships, he expresses amused satisfaction at the notion of his protege having earned the affection of two hot alien women, explicitly quoting this trope (while conceding that Ahsoka has orange skin and Bariss is a lighter shade of green than the typical concept). Tony Stark pressured Rhodey to pursue Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, much to their chagrin.

** [[EvilIsSexy Zarbon]] also a [[{{Bishonen}} Male]] [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/0/0f/Zarbon_DBZ_Ep_56_002.png/revision/latest?cb=20180804213413 version of this trope,]] but not in his [[{{Gonk}} true form.]]

* The Queen of ''Literature/{{Perelandra}}'' is her world's Eve, and thus the first of many Green Skinned Space Babes to appear on Venus... and, although nude, she's shielded from the protagonist by an aura of innocence.

** ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' has the Zeltron (magenta-skinned and blue-haired), who are perfectly aware of their attractive appearance and flaunt it. Some sources also claim they have mild pheromones, but not to the degree of the Falleen. They have a reputation (mostly deserved) as cheerful hedonists who'll do anything that moves. In a bit of a subversion ''both'' sexes are like this and male Zeltrons look like (magenta-skinned) handsome human men.

** The {{Trope Namer|s}} appeared in the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' pilot episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E0TheCage The Cage]]". Captain Pike is tempted with a LotusEaterMachine fantasy where he's a decadent Orion slave trader and the green-skinned and scantily clad Vina dances erotically for him. Orion women are presented as a [[AllMenArePerverts dark male]] [[FanService fantasy come to life]]--[[{{Orientalism}} exotic]], [[AllWomenAreLustful animalistic]] {{Sex Slave}}s from a culture [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe where they actually want to be taken advantage of]] (so you don't have to feel guilty about doing so) and supposedly [[ImAManICantHelpIt irresistible to human males]].
*** Fans tend to forget that ''James T. Kirk never made it with a green space babe!'' Vina appeared in the pilot opposite Kirk's predecessor, Chris Pike. And Marta tried to seduce him while he was recovering from torture. Marta is also a patient in a mental institution -- nothing happened beyond kissing (which Kirk is clearly ''deeply'' uncomfortable with but forced to go along) and she immediately tried to kill him (which he was also clearly expecting). This is probably why ''Film/StarTrek2009'' explicitly showed alternate-universe Kirk in bed with an Orion cadet, but it's actually the first time this piece of CommonKnowledge has ever happened.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'' shows just how annoying it is to be considered from this race. Ensign D'Vana Tendi is an Orion who doesn't at all [[CulturalRebel live up to the stereotype]]. Instead of the usual sexual predators and pirates that most Orion are considered, she is a sweet and socially awkward medic. When Mariner creates a holodeck program that plays out like a stereotypical action movie, she recasts Tendi as a pirate in a skimpy outfit and Tendi walks out of the program in disgust after one too many comments about her race.

* The Taysans in ''Literature/{{Spaceforce}}'' look more or less like humans, except that their skin is silver. Although Ashlenn, the most beautiful of the Taysan female characters, is from a [[FantasticRacism minority ethnic group]] and is golden instead.
