Contrast LadyInRed.

** Tea Gardner's Domino High school uniform is a combination of this and PinkIsFeminine. Her coat is pink while her tie and skirt are blue.

* One too many blue Anime/{{Pretty Cure}}s, [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Cure Marine]] and [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Cure Beat]] being the only notable exceptions. This even applies in Curefics sometimes; [[FanFic/FutariWaPrettyCureDragon Cure Fortune]] is one such Cure that comes to mind. Note that the [[Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure real Cure Fortune]] plays [[PurpleIsPowerful a different trope]].

* ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'': Rio Kastle has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair dark blue hair and light blue bangs]].
* ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'': In her Avatar form, aptly named Blue Angel, Aoi Zaizen has blue hair and a white and blue outfit similar to that of a MagicalGirl.

* When ComicBook/JeanGrey first appeared in ''ComicBook/XMen'' #1, she was wearing a blue dress, jacket, and hat. She's worn many colors and costumes (mostly being associated [[RedheadInGreen with green]]), but blue has also been included (notably her gold and blue outfit in [[WesternAnimation/XMen the 90s cartoon]].)

* In the ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' fanfic ''FanFic/WalkingInCircles'', Evelyn Trevelyan is a [[BlueBlood noble-born]] mage whose personality can be summed up as kind, protective, and motherly. Aside from being compared to flowers, Evelyn often wears blue to the point that when Solas needs to find her, he always looks for a blue robe and dark hair. In the Redcliffe future, Fen'Harel dresses her in a blue nightgown before seeking her out in the night, and his murals depict her in blue. Evelyn's personality later changes to a more negative interpretation of this trope, with her being engulfed in sadness and even icy ruthlessness as she becomes [[UnholyMatrimony Solas's partner]] [[spoiler: in his plan for changing (a.k.a destroying) the current world]].

* In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', Saber [[spoiler:([[KingArthur Arturia Pendragon]])]] wears blue armor thus combining this trope with LadyOfWar.

* ''WebComic/PrincessPrincess'': Sadie is usually drawn in a blue dress, and is a shy, kind girl.

* Music/{{Vocaloid}}: Hatsune Miku is the most well-known blue-color-scheme character (and [[SpotlightStealingSquad the most well-known overall]]). Of the female Crypton characters, her official personality is the most traditionally feminine, in contrast to [[{{Tomboy}} Rin (yellow)]], or the "cool" and mature Luka (pink) and Meiko (red). She is often used for songs that [[PlayingAgainstType do not fit the "gentle feminine girl"]] theme, but in these cases, any art associated with the song usually changes her coloring to something darker or redder.
* Music/DepecheMode has a song called "Blue Dress" about a seductress in blue.
-->''Put it on\\
And don't say a word\\
Put it on\\
The one that I prefer\\

I couldn't believe my luck
You in your new blue dress

* Music/MysterySkulls features Vivi in the animated music video for ''Ghost''. She is blue all over, and even her skin tone is a cool shade.

** In ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', Liz Allan wears quite a few blue sweaters and tops.

** R. Mika wears a bright teal blue wrestling outfit that displays a lot of skin especially her [[CleavageWindow breasts]] and [[MaleGaze buttocks]].

* Chun-Li of ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' wears blue outfits as her main clothing in the games, particularly a blue {{Qipao}}.

This could have started at least as far back as [[AncientGrome ancient Greece and Rome]], and why the Virgin Mary is often depicted in [[HeavenlyBlue a blue robe]]. The logic was that blue symbolizes peace, serenity, kindness, and other such aspects [[WomenAreDelicate that were considered]] [[ProperLady womanly virtues]]. (In the Mediterranean, it was also [[ColorCodedPatrician a sign of high rank]], as the [[RealLifeWritesThePlot dye/paint color had to come from indigo, woad, or lapis lazuli]] which must be imported from a great distance and was therefore quite expensive.)

* Constance and Queen Anne from ''Series/TheMusketeers occasionally wear blue.

** Rose Tyler wears a blue jacket at the beginning of the "New Earth" story until she later gets possessed by Lady Cassandra, who later strips it off in order to expose Rose's [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple blouse underneath.]] These are considered to be Rose's most [[IconicOutfits Iconic Outfits]] by many fans. The blue represents Rose's caring, humble and gentle personality in contrast to Cassandra's darker, haughty and sultry character.

* The ComicBook/{{Dazzler}} switched from a white costume to a blue one in the 1980s.

* ''Theatre/AGentlemansGuideToLoveAndMurder''[[TheIngenue Phoebe D'Ysquith]] is described by Monty as "noble and pious" and is an InnocentSoprano. Naturally, her wardrobe consists mostly of dresses in various shades of blue.
