* All of the girls in ''SuckerPunch''.

* In ''TheSimpsons'' season 15 episode "Bart After Dark", the owner of the burlesque house Belle wears fishnets, along with spike-healed shoes. When Marge comes to ask her to shut down the burlesque, Belle [[ShowSomeLeg pulls up her skirt and crosses her legs, showing her sharply-clad legs]]; [[LesYay calls her "honey", "sugar", and "darlin'"; and scoots closer to touch Marge's hand]].

* ''MoulinRouge''!

* Needless to say, the ''CarryOn'' franchise [[http://dc162.4shared.com/img/TGl1hrjp/s7/COR.jpg made frequent use]] of the stocking filler during the early 60s, although the trope fell out of fashion as the miniskirt and panty hose grew in popularity.

* PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt gives us Stocking, who can turn her stockings into ''[[KatanasAreJustBetter katanas]]''.

** Fellow DC femme Black Canary is also often portrayed wearing fishnet stockings (see also the "Western Animation" section below).

* LittleEgo often ends up wearing a garter belt, stockings and nothing else.
* A traditional element of LadyDeath's outfit. If it can be called that.

* Needless to say, the '''Carry On''' franchise [[http://dc162.4shared.com/img/TGl1hrjp/s7/COR.jpg made frequent use]] of the stocking filler during the early 60s, although the trope fell out of fashion as panty hose grew in popularity.

* Surprisingly common in "spicy" comic strips of the 30s and 40s, even turning up in the [[http://dc192.4shared.com/img/K2oY0ogM/s7/0.2384010647504502/mandrake2a.jpg ''Mandrake'' dailies at one point]]. On the other side of the Atlantic, ''Jane'' was boosting home front morale in [[[[http://dc192.4shared.com/img/ldGKf3sQ/s7/0.03781927718811129/jane6.jpg the traditional manner]].

** Similarly, the '''Carry On''' franchise [[http://dc162.4shared.com/img/TGl1hrjp/s7/COR.jpg made frequent use]] of the stocking filler during the early 60s, though the trope fell out of fashion as panty hose grew in popularity.

** Speaking of which, the can-can was always [[http://dc192.4shared.com/img/M5dsypoV/s7/0.4173987088192246/tomato.jpg a popular subject]] in old-school animation, even during the Code era. Many cartoons of the period [[http://dc192.4shared.com/img/XVGYLwwI/s7/0.6927729029425926/sdc2.jpg featured risque gags]] that never would have made it past the censors otherwise.

* Virtually every female character ever in ''The BennyHill Show''.

* Nancy Allen in black stockings and garters in ''DressedToKill''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyGZK_FLchs HO. LY. CRAP.]]

* Female Ranma in the [[MartialArtsAndCrafts Martial Arts Dining]] arc of ''[[RanmaOneHalf Ranma 1/2]]''. She had been forced into wearing antique French clothing (and, for some reason, a [[OfCorsetsSexy steel corset]]) by her opponent's instructor. So, for training, she usually doffed the dress and wore just the corset, [[PantyShot women's panties]], and a garter belt with stockings. With the subplot of [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Ranma]] {{Mode Lock}}ed as [[GenderBender a girl]] [[FetishFuel in these clothes]], a man with prodigious eating skills thanks to his [[FetishFuel absurdly long tongue and flexible mouth]], and Akane [[FetishFuel dressed as a]] [[{{Meido}} French maid]], the whole arc was drowning in [[FetishFuel High Octane Fetish Fuel]].

* Angelina Jolie in ''{{Mr And Mrs Smith}}'' hid knives in her garters.

* In the 1932 film ''Red-Headed Woman'', when JeanHarlow's character is seducing her boss, she shows him that he put a small picture of him to her garter. Later, when he wants to break up with her, she shows her stockings again to prove that she's removed the picture.

* Maggie (Natalie Wood) in ''TheGreatRace'' [[ShowSomeLeg shows her leg in a silk stocking]] to her editor to get him to allow her to cover the race.

* Both [[TheDCU Zatanna and Black Canary]] have fishnets as part of their regular uniform (though Canary has changed a bit, going back and forth to having regular stockings/spandex and back to fishnets).

-- ''{{Coupling}}''

* Jeannette [=MacDonald=] (!) in her version of ''The Merry Widow''.

->''I can't believe there was once a time when women wore garter belts '''all''' the time, not just to be sexy, then
some guy invented panty hose. That guy's a '''dick'''! What was he thinking?!''\\
