* A non-High School version of this gets lampshaded and subverted ([[Creator/TerryPratchett surprise, surprise]]) in ''Discworld/MakingMoney''. [[SpoiledBrat Pucci]] [[SmugSnake Lavish]] attempts to make an impressive entrance to rain on Moist von Lipwig's parade, and Moist can clearly see what effect she's ''trying'' for, with her menacing bodyguards parting the crowd so she can sweep forward in her regal gown with her little dogs at her heel, but she's underestimated just how thick the crowd would be, and it's physically incapable of parting for her at the necessary speed for her to "sweep" in properly. [[spoiler: It gets worse for her when Moist spectacularly turns the tables on her attempt to discredit him, and she ends up making a complete fool of herself while getting Moist a lot of free publicity. The encounter ends with her demonstrating that however untalented she may be when it comes to "majestically sweeping in", she more than makes up for it with her expertise in the "flouncing off in a huff" department.]]

* The mysterious forest in ''{{Webcomic/Falconhyrste}}'' is home to strange magical beings, including a demon that rises out of the ground.

* Done by Leena and the newly undead cheerleaders on the first day of school in ''Film/AllCheerleadersDie''. Featuring stunned reactions from the bystanders, and down in slow motion to catch every swish of the cheerleaders' skirts.

* ''Film/TheCraft'': The main four girls get to do this once, when they really start getting into their powers. It's even in slow-motion and set to some AwesomeMusic. Played with in that they're actually the school's ''outcasts'' and it's possible that people move out of the way to ''avoid'' them.

* On ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' when the girls are forced to root out a ghost in a high school, the AlphaBitch Barbie makes her entrance this way. It fails to impress Panty and Stocking.

* In ''Film/HarrietTheSpy'', Marion Hawthorne, the school's RichBitch, liked to do this in front of the titular character.

[[SpoiledBrat Pucci]] [[SmugSnake Lavish]] attempts to make an impressive entrance to rain on Moist von Lipwig's parade, and Moist can clearly see what effect she's ''trying'' for, with her menacing bodyguards parting the crowd so she can sweep forward in her regal gown with her little dogs at her heel, but she's underestimated just how thick the crowd would be, and it's physically incapable of parting for her at the necessary speed for her to "sweep" in properly.

* Occurred in an episode of ''Series/HannahMontana''. Once the AlphaBitch made her grand exit out of the cafeteria, everyone else in the cafeteria thunders out after her.

** Sabrina entered AlphaBitch Libby's dream to see her dreaming of students moving aside for her, including two boys lying down over a spill on the floor and letting Libby walk over their back. Sabrina then remarks that it happened that day at school, realising "every day at school is a dream come true for Libby".
** In another episode where Sabrina gets Libby's personality, she imagines herself in an actual [[PimpedOutDress princess dress]] walking through the school with students handing her plaques and awards.
* Happens in the ''Series/{{Bones}}'' episode ''The Girl with the Curl''. The other girls in Briana Swanson's dance class act this way towards her (and hate her) because "Briana was the Queen."

* ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'': In a college setting, Galinda's entrance to Dear Old Shiz, complete with her own pause in the musical number. The book version wished she had one.
* ''Theatre/{{Heathers}}'': the Heathers' entrance in the song Beautiful. After that, in the same song, the Heathers give Veronica a makeover and the four (the three Heathers and Veronica) make an entrance in the same manner.

* Kazashiro Miu in ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' even got her own {{leitmotif}} (based on [[KillBill Battle without Honor or Humanity]]!) to go with this. [[spoiler:Until graduation from high school and CharacterDevelopment set in.]]

* ''HighSchoolMusical'': After seeing the call-backs for the school's musical, the character Sharpay storms off in a rampage. The students jump out of the way for her, one even mentioning that she's an [[DefrostingIceQueen "Ice Queen"]].
* In ''HarrietTheSpy'', Marion Hawthorne, the school's RichBitch, liked to do this in front of the titular character.

* ''NotAnotherTeenMovie'': Parodies ''Film/{{Jawbreaker}}'', complete with original soundtrack.
* ''{{The Craft}}'': The main four girls get to do this once, when they really start getting into their powers. It's even in slow-motion and set to some AwesomeMusic. Played with in that they're actually the school's ''outcasts'' and it's possible that people move out of the way to ''avoid'' them.

* Kazashiro Miu in ''KamenRiderFourze'' even got her own {{leitmotif}} (based on [[KillBill Battle without Honor or Humanity]]!) to go with this. [[spoiler:Until graduation from high school and CharacterDevelopment set in.]]

* Played with in ''TheGuild'', season 2. Codex, Tinkerballa, and Clara attempt to do this at a party (also in SlowMotion), but have a few uncaring people walk across their path. The reactions on the girls' faces are more than amusing.

* Happens in the ''{{Bones}}'' episode ''The Girl with the Curl''. The other girls in Briana Swanson's dance class act this way towards her (and hate her) because "Briana was the Queen."

* The ''FairlyOddparents''... [-[[RecycledInSpace IN A SCHOOL BUS!]]-]

* ''Film/MeanGirls'': Parodied. Cady stumbles into a trash can while doing this.

* ''AsToldByGinger'': Courtney Gripling along with Miranda. In another episode, Ginger and her friends helped a girl named Hope become even more popular than Courtney for a bit, so she often indulged in this as well.
* Paulina from ''DannyPhantom''. More specifically, she gets all the males distracted.
