* In ''ThePrincessBride'', Buttercup is kidnapped while she is wearing a red cloak.

* Blonde [[DoctorWho Rose Tyler]] wears a red hoodie in at least one episode prior to her switch to ActionGirl. Perhaps intentional - [[spoiler:she is the Bad Wolf]]...

* Subverted disturbingly in TokyoAkazukin, where the little girl in red is probably the single most dangerous person in the series, and plays up both the [[TokenLoli sexuality]] and [[{{Gorn}} violence]] attributes associated with her color scheme. She's basically a tiny [[{{Hellsing}} Alucard]].

* In ''All I Want For Christmas'', the girl heads out on her own (because she thinks she gave the wrong wish to Santa about her parents) wearing a red coat, and she's blond. She turns out fine, but this is the only time she goes off on her own. Not sure how much this fits the trope though.

It can be considered an AlwaysFemale version of BringMyRedJacket. [[WomanInWhite Dressing all in white]] is often a dangerous choice for girls and women, too.

** Red-haired Amy Pond also seems to wear a red hoodie, including in ''The Pandorica Opens, when [[spoiler:she is fatally shot by Rory.]]

* {{Life On Mars}}: Annie Cartwright wears a bright red dress, while walking in a forest, before being attacked by Vic Tyler.

* Lampshaded in the DarkestPowers series, when [[HairOfGold Chloe]] is wearing a red windbreaker while out scouting the woods. She is found by an AxCrazy ghost whom she (and her [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]] [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend friend]]) pissed off earlier. He taunts her, "That's a pretty coat you're wearing. LittleRedRidingHood, all alone in the woods at night. Where's your [[BigBadassWolf big bad wolf]]?" And then he tries to [[{{Telekinesis}} stone her to death]].

* Subverted disturbingly in {{TokyoAkazukin}}, where the little girl in red is probably the single most dangerous person in the series, and plays up both the [[TokenLoli sexuality]] and [[{{Gorn}} violence]] attributes associated with her color scheme. She's basically a tiny [[{{Hellsing}} Alucard]]

* Averted/Subverted in ''DetectiveConan''. During the bus hijacker case, Haibara wears a red coat. Then she feels the presence of a Black Organization, pulls her hood up, and spends the rest of the case scared out of her wits. Finally at the end she's convinced that she only attracts evil and tries to commit suicide on the exploding bus. Conan comes and saves her and gives her one of his "Suicide is bad, don't give up" speeches.
* [[spoiler:Christina Sierra, Anew Returner, Nena Trinity and Wang Liu Mei]] from ''{{Gundam 00}}''. Yes, 00 ''loves'' this trope.
