History Main / TrueBlueFemininity

* ''Anime/PrettyCure'': Blue is a common color for {{Magical Girl}}s of the series, and often the one dressed in blue would be associated with [[MakingASplash water]] and/or [[AnIcePerson ice]], with a [[AloofDarkHairedGirl matching personality]]. 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]].

* Although most ''Franchise/SuperSentai''/''Franchise/PowerRangers'' Blue Rangers are male, the few times they are female, this comes into play. True to trope rules, when the female Ranger is blue it's of a considerably lighter and softer shade than her male counterparts (with the notable exceptions of the very first female blue ranger, ''Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman'''s Blue Dolphin, who was more or less the same color as the previous blue rangers and the blue ranger from ''Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger''/''Alien Rangers'' who wears a light cyan costume despite being male). Both canon female Blue Rangers, [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Tori]] and [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Madison]], are very feminine characters. In Tori's case, she's TheChick and Madison is the GirlyGirl contrasted with her {{Tomboy}} sister Vida (who ironically is the {{Pink|MeansFeminine}} Ranger).

* Prairie Dawn, Abby Cadabby, and Rosita from ''Series/SesameStreet''. The former two have pink skin and fur, respectively, but wear blue dresses, while the latter has light blue fur.

* Although most ''Franchise/SuperSentai''/''Franchise/PowerRangers'' Blue Rangers are male, the few times they are female, this comes into play. True to trope rules, when the female Ranger is blue it's of a considerably lighter and softer shade than her male counterparts (with the notable exceptions of the very first female blue ranger, ''Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman'''s Blue Dolphin, who was more or less the same color as the previous blue rangers and the blue ranger from ''Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger''/''Alien Rangers'' who wears a light cyan costume despite being male). Both canon female Blue Rangers, [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Tori]] and [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Madison]], are very feminine characters. In Tori's case, she's TheChick and Madison is the GirlyGirl contrasted with her {{Tomboy}} sister Vida (who ironically is the {{Pink|MeansFeminine}} Ranger).

* In ''Series/DowntonAbbey'', Lady Sybil Crawley (later Branson) has many blue outfits, possibly to represent her role as the youngest and most innocent of the family [[spoiler:and ultimately TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth]].
* In ''Series/MadMen'' this is the beauty-focused and traditional Betty Draper Francis's favored color along with white, given how it highlights her Grace Kelly-esque beauty, Teutonic coloring (light skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes). Not only does it serve a purpose in highlighting her looks, it also highlights her role as housewife and mother.
* In the ''[[Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand Spartacus series]]'', Lucretia's body slaves seem to be required to be clad in blue, as seen with Melitta and Naevia. The other women in the show regularly dressed in blue as well.

* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', Clara Oswald, a companion who is introverted and lonely, but usually very compassionate and kind, is fond of wearing articles of clothing in various shades of blue. Given its sheer frequency throughout her entire run, it's probably her subconscious favourite colour. [[spoiler:Outside of the original Clara, this habit even extends to some of her time paradox spawned doubles in different eras, especially the Victorian governess one.]] Possibly a symbol of loss too, as she lost her mother in her teens, which affected her rather profoundly. She's also occasionally seen in a predominant red or green from time to time, reflecting other sides of her personality. When she wears blue, she's mostly quiet and thoughtful, green-clad Clara is an adventurer, pragmatist and tends to be crankier, and wearing red clothing often coincides with her showing a 'cheery romantic dreamer' streak.
** 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 [[IconicOutfit 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.

* ''Series/JessicaJones2015'': Jessica's theme color is blue, with blue being very prevalent in a lot of her clothes. In ''Series/TheDefenders2017'', scenes focused on Jessica are shown with a blue filter.
** Trish's wardrobe in ''The Defenders'' is primarily made of blues.
* Diana's main attributes in ''Series/AnneWithAnE'' are her beauty and her kindness, and she dresses almost exclusively in blue.
* Constance and Queen Anne from ''Series/TheMusketeers'' occasionally wear blue.
* In the ''Series/{{Charite}}'' hospital, the deaconesses wear uniformly dark blue dresses and the nurses wear light blue smocks with white aprons.

* Yurika Kirishima of ''[[VideoGame/RivalSchools Project Justice]]'' wears a bright blue dress, and is [[{{Ojou}} very]] [[ElegantGothicLolita clearly]] the most feminine character in her series.
* In ''VideoGame/ShiningInTheDarkness'', the bodice of Princess Jessa's dress is blue.
* Rosalina from the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series primarily wears a SimpleYetOpulent cyan gown, which goes along with her elegant character.
* Alisa Bosconovitch of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' wears an outfit with blue flowers and blue jewels.

* Disciples of the exclusively-female Holy Water Palace in ''VideoGame/AgeOfWushu'' wear all-blue uniforms that pair nicely with their yin-based, water-themed, softness-damage martial arts.
* ''VideoGame/BodyBlows'': Azona is a blue-clad warrior woman who competes in the series' second tournament, ''Body Blows Galactic'', which pits fighters from various planets against each other to determine the greatest fighter in the universe. Worth noting that her choice of color for her attire is fitting within the context of this trope given that her, and Kai-Ti's, home planet, Feminon, has a matriarchal society.
* ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' has Kasumi and Helena. The former's trademark outfit is a blue ninja tunic while the latter's outfits include a blue dress, a blue tailcoat, and a black-and-blue catsuit.

* Josephine fits this trope in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', wearing a regal ensemble of blue and gold. She is a sweet ProperLady and skilled diplomat who gets along with just about everyone.
** Empress Celene of Orlais is also only seen wearing a deep blue ballgown with gold accents. She is certainly regarded as a paragon of fashion, diplomacy, and elegance; however, unlike Josephine, she's not a particularly nice person.
* The Velvet Room attendants from the ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}'' series. They all dress in blue to match the room they reside in and as they are typically the opposite sex of the current protagonist, all but one are female.
* Sona from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' is a blue-haired, sweet and calm [[Main/CuteMute mute]] songtress whose beautiful blue dress covers her [[Main/ImpossibleHourglassFigure esbelt]] [[Main/ImpossiblyLowNeckline body]]. Her skillset revolves around helping allies by damaging, debuffing and stunning enemies while also healing, shielding and buffing allies, thanks to her [[Main/HarpOfFemininity etwahl]].
* Rulue from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' sports a head of flowing blue hair, and her outfit typically has blue accents on it. She serves as the [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl girly-girl rival to tomboyish Arle]] and is identified by having a [[MonsterFangirl mad crush on]] {{Satan}}, despite him being more interested in Arle.
* Brionne and Primarina, Popplio's evolutions in ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' are very feminine and very blue Pokemon based on sirens/mermaids.

%% * Both Jade Harley and Jane Crocker from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' almost always wear blue, although Jade is more commonly associated with the color green.
* In ''Webcomic/AliceAndTheNightmare'', kind and quiet Edith wears blue and has blue as her Suit's colour.
* Played with in ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''. Susan has black-blue hair and usually is seen in blue clothing when strips are colored. She's definitely ''feminine'', and the head of her school's feminist club, but demure doesn't factor in - ''withdrawn'', due to her various traumas, feels like the word to use. Or raging with a magic hammer in her hand.
%%* ''WebComic/PrincessPrincess'': Sadie is usually drawn in a blue dress, and is a shy, kind girl.
* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Undine is a MagicalGirl with blue hair and [[ColorCodedCharacters overall theming]] who is quite feminine, as evidenced by her ladylike fashion sense, demure personality, and [[WaterIsWomanly control over water]]. This forms a contrast with her partner Heartful Punch in both [[ColorContrast color]] and [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl personality]] -- in spite of her [[PinkMeansFeminine pink theming]] and [[HeartBeatDown heart-themed powers]], HP is an athletic, tomboyish brawler to the core.

* Sally Carrera from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'' is portrayed as a light blue Porsche 911 Carrera. Other female blue cars include [[ViewerGenderConfusion a racecar sponsoring RevNGo]] and the Queen of England.
* The princess in ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsAdventureInWonderland'' has a light blue dress, though she's never seen wearing it (it's worn by Alice in training to impersonate her).

** Miss Kitty's (a female dancer/showgirl mouse) showgirl outfit in ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective''.

* In the first installment of ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail,'' Tanya's dress (which looks very similar to Snow White's dress) has a blue bodice and sleeves, paired with a yellow skirt and a [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] babushka.

* In ''Film/{{Beauty and the Beast 2014}}'', Belle wears a deep blue dress for her dance with the Beast.

* Literature/BridgetJones is gentle-hearted and very girly, along with favoring blue in her wardrobe, which is likely chosen to [[WhatBeautifulEyes match her eyes]].
* In ''Film/{{Cinderella 2015}}'', Ella is color-coded with soft blues to emphasise her nurturing femininity. The beautiful dress she wears for the ball is of course blue as well. This is in stark contrast to the bold and loud colours her stepfamily wear. Her stepmother is occasionally shown wearing bold blue dresses, which makes perfect sense once it's revealed [[spoiler: she was once similar to Ella, marrying for love and becoming bitter and cynical after her husband died - effectively making her a {{Foil}} for her stepdaughter.]]
* ''Film/RickiAndTheFlash'' has the titular Ricki donning a baby blue dress for her son's wedding. As she's a rock star who's usually seen in leather and jeans, she's a little uncomfortable at the change. But the dress marks her motherly side coming out a lot more, particularly as she reassures her depressed daughter Julie.
* Pauline - the most beautiful, charismatic and feminine of the Fossil sisters - wears a glamorous gown of royal blue to her film premiere in the 2007 film of ''Literature/BalletShoes''. She's played by Emma Watson, which is hilarious if one looks at the ''Harry Potter'' example below.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'': [[spoiler:In the ending, [[ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} Selina Kyle]] wears a blue dress, as opposed to the black dresses she wore in previous scenes. It is meant to symbolize that she has left the Catwoman identity behind and has started a peaceful new life [[OfficialCouple with]] [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]].]]
* ''Film/FrenchKiss'': Luc calls Kate a "goddess" when she wears an expensive blue dress to seduce her ex-fiancé Charlie.
* Debbie, the sweet "it girl" in ''Film/AmericanGraffiti'' wears a blue dress, with a matching hairbow and pair of shoes throughout the film.
** Likewise in the sequel, Eva (the beautiful Icelandic girl) wears a teal top and a dark blue skirt, which match her blue eyes.
* Averted in ''Film/DevilInABlueDress''. Daphne Monet is no innocent as the title makes clear, though whether she's a true FemmeFatale is debatable. She's certainly well aware of her attractiveness to men however and doesn't hesitate to use it to her advantage.
* The ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' has a few examples;
** SilkHidingSteel Frigga wears a blue silk dress in ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld.''
** Pepper Potts wears a blue dress when SheCleansUpNicely at the party, where she shares her first dance with Tony.
** Sharon Carter wears a lot of light blue shirts.
** In ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', Liz Toomes wears quite a few blue tops and skirts.
* Carreen O'Hara in ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' wears a light blue dress to the Wilkes' barbecue, which signifies that she is the most kind and gentle of the O'Hara sisters.

* In the film adaptation of ''Literature/TheOutsiders'', popular Soc girl Cherry Valance generally wears blue outfits, which signifies that she's one of the kinder and approachable one of the Soc gang.
* ''Film/Bedazzled2000'': Elliot claims that his love interest Allison looks particularly good whenever she wears blue. Most of her costumes throughout his wishes are either primarily blue or have blue accents. This also has the added bonus of contrasting her with the Devil, the other woman Elliot frequently interacts with, who dresses in either [[LadyInRed red]] or black.
* ''Film/TheKarateKid'': Ali first shown wearing a blue swimsuit on the beach at the start of the film. Then, she later wears a blue shirt when she goes on her first date with Daniel.
* ''Film/TheKarateKidPartII'': Kumiko wears a blue kimono (with an ocean design), during her famous dance scene.

* Dorothy Gale from ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'' (and in [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the film adaptation]]) wears a blue and white gingham dress. This becomes a plot point in the book: as blue is the Munchkin color and white is only worn by witches, the Munchkins initially mistake her for a [[MistakenForTerrorist witch]], but a good one who intends to be friends with the Munchkins, when her house comes out of nowhere and flattens the Wicked Witch of the East. She's an empathetic character who convinces all three of her TrueCompanions to pursue their dreams and goals, and is also a FriendToAllLivingThings – in short, a ladylike spirit, even if she is a farm girl.
* ''Literature/SongAtDawn:'' When a lady wears blue it is consistently referred to as '(Virgin) Mary's color'. When the Arch Bishop sees [[IronLady Emerganda]] or [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask Alienor]] wearing it he scoffs at the hypocrisy because (in his mind) they are anything but 'fair and gentle'.

* In the Literature/AubreyMaturin series, Diana Villiers is most frequently outfitted in shades of blue, symbolizing her sad and frustrating search for a man she can trust.

* Hilda from ''Literature/HildaAndRichie'' is also shown wearing a light blue dress complete with a hand fan when not wearing [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple a purple dress]]; she is shown in the story to be living in a luxurious mansion, displaying her wealthy ProperLady status.

* The Beauty Pair of [[Wrestling/AllJapanWomensProWrestling Zenjo]], the first breakout stars of joshi puroreso or the Japanese women's pro wrestling circuit, usually dressed in blue, when they weren't wearing black anyway, or blue with black stripes or black with blue stripes. Anyway, they were a fairly "feminine" pair by pro wrestling standards, almost as well known for their singing, dancing, and fashion as they were for their take downs and pins. As a result, wrestlers have since worn blue(or black) when expressing their femininity.
* When Wrestling/{{WSU}} became an all women's company, purple and blue became its primary colors, on the logo and the title belt plates, respectively. In this case, they symbolized bruising more than grace or peace. When Wrestling/{{CZW}} took over the promotion was increasingly signified by pink, however.
* {{Wrestling/Bayley}}'s first recognisable outfit was a light shade of baby blue, to reflect her innocence as TheIngenue. While she eventually wore more colours, she frequently has plenty of blue on her gear as well.

* Edward Albee's ''Tiny Alice'' has the OriginalCastPrecedent of Alice wearing blue. As theatre critic Otis L. Guernsey pointed out, though many people took this as symbolic, "nowhere does the ''Tiny Alice'' script specify that Miss Alice wear blue, though it does describe her boudoir as 'Feminine, but not frilly. Blues instead of pinks.'"

%% * Sharon in ''WesternAnimation/{{Braceface}}''. She wears a light blue shirt and dark blue pants in the first season.

* XJ-9 from ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' .

** [[MakingASplash Lapis Lazuli]] combines this with AmazingTechnicolorPopulation- not only is she featured wearing a skirt and top in shades of blue, but her hair, eyes, and even skin are shades of blue as well. Along with [[PosthumousCharacter Rose Quartz]] and Sapphire she's the only Gem thus far whose primary outfit features a long skirt.
** Sapphire, as well, who is the [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Girly Girl to Ruby's Tomboy]]. And like Lapis, she also combines it with blue skin and hair (though Sapphire does have patches of white in her outfit.)
%% ** Steven's friend Connie Maheswaran wears a blue dress in some episodes as well as in the first title sequence.
%% ** A flashback shows that refined femininity was a trait widespread in the court of Blue Diamond, which included Sapphire, Lapis, and many other silhouettes of Gems in shades of blue, most of whom wore dresses or skirts. Blue Diamond's Pearl fit the stereotype of Pearls as emotionless, pretty dolls for nobles, which the other two Pearls we've seen don't. Blue Diamond herself wears a veil reminiscent of the Virgin Mary, and speaks softly, though she's still as ruthless as any tyrant. This is a deep contrast with Yellow Diamond and every known Gem who was made to serve her; they all have outwardly [[{{Jerkass}} aggressive, rude, and haughty]] personalities, even the Pearl, and generally have gender-neutral designs.
%% * Ariel of ''WesternAnimation/ThundarrTheBarbarian'' wears a blue LeotardOfPower.
%% * Chromia from ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' is colored blue, as opposed to Arcee's (usually) pink. In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', Arcee is blue with pink highlights.
* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'':
** Many of Bloom's fairy forms are primarily blue. Also her civilian outfit (her first outfit is a teal crop top with dark blue trim and pale yellow sleeves with blue slightly flared jeans that have stars on the bottom of the legs) with the exception of her pink top in season 4.
** On the villain side, the witch Icy is the [[LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine Dark Feminine]] type.
* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'': ActionGirl Megan from the original generation, who wore blue overalls in the show.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Rainbow Dash is an aversion because she's the least feminine of the main characters.
** Princess Ember, a female dragon from the season six episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E5GauntletOfFire Gauntlet of Fire]]", is one of few female dragons on the show and bright cobalt blue.
* Sparkles in ''WebAnimation/TheGrosseryGang'' webseries is a light blue soda can, while also being the only girl of the team. While she's a bit more rough-and-tumble and sarcastic than most girls, she has the most tact and sympathy for others out of the gang as well, acting like a big sister to Egghead, while also being the grounding force to Pizza Face's riskier ventures.

* Downplayed with some characters from ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo''. Celery, Dr. Skelley, and Dr. Rafferty all wear blue, but they're not stereotypically feminine. Out of all of them, Dr. Rafferty would likely be the most feminine.
* Emily on ''WesternAnimation/LittleBear'' generally wears a blue dress.
* ''WesternAnimation/RosiesRules'': The artsy Crystal wears a blue denim jacket. Her mother, Liz, also wears blue. In fact, almost all of the girls and women wear blue, even [[{{Tomboy}} Jun]].

* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' plays with this trope regarding the title character. She often wears dresses in various shades of blue, [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak but despite her appearance,]] [[BadassAdorable her actions are not that feminine]]. Played straight with her mother, whose default outfit is a very feminine blue dress. She also has blue hair. However, [[LadyOfWar there are times when she can fight]], but she's usually more graceful than Star.

-->-- ''[[Literature/TheBelgariad Pawn of Prophecy]]'', ''Creator/DavidEddings''

** WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'s dress is only blue in products from the "Disney Princess" line. The dress is supposed to be silver (although the [[NiceShoes glass slippers]] were always blue-tinted), but DigitalDestruction caused her dress to become silvery-blue, a problem that still exists in the blu-ray release[[note]]Along with her hair, which is supposed to strawberry-blonde, but is pure blonde in the aforementioned "Disney Princess" products, as well as both the DVD and the aforementioned blu-ray version[[/note]]. However, her nightgown is definitely blue, her servant dress has turquoise sleeves, and with it she wears a blue ribbon in her hair. Her sweet and kindly FairyGodmother also wears a blue dress.

** ''Franchise/XMen'': When Jean Grey first appeared in ''The X-Men'' #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]].)

** Sally Brown, on the other hand, is a very fair and gentle character who wears a light blue dress. Though she wears pink in ''[[WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie]]''.

** Sally Brown, on the other hand, is a very fair and gentle character who wears a light blue dress.

* PosthumousCharacter Maria Robotnik from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' wore a blue dress, blue shoes, and a blue headband. She was a sweet, FriendToAllLivingThings IllGirl who had a sibling-esque relationship with Shadow. It's possible that her blue attire is supposed to date her, as she died 50 years ago, though what this means in the series is unknown (her flashbacks are very technologically advanced compared to the real 1950s so it's unknown if the ''Sonic'' series takes place TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture or if their world is just advanced).

* Minto Aizawa/Mew Mint from ''Anime/TokyoMewMew''.
* Hikaru Makiba from ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' -one of the ''Anime/MazingerZ'' series- was feminine, gentle, and caring and wore a blue uniform. [[RedOniBlueOni By contrast]], [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl her best friend]] Maria was a tomboyish {{Tsundere}} and usually wore red or pink.
* While more action-oriented, princess Allura/Fala of ''Anime/{{Voltron}}''/''Anime/GoLion'' wore pink, Romelle/Amue wore a blue dress while she was less active, and switched to a pink MinidressOfPower when she took an active role.
* ''Manga/KOn'''s Mio's character color happens to be this. GenkiGirl Jun too, even though she has teal.
* 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]].
* Mikuru Asahina from ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' has her moments, most notably when she reveals her true colors to Kyon during the SOS Brigade's first "Magical Mystery Patrol" in one of the "Melancholy" episodes and with her festival yukata in at least one Endless Eight episode.
* ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura: TheMovie'' has Tomoyo wear a blue UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}} to contrast nicely with Sakura's pink Chinese-style jacket and trousers.
** Also, Feimei, one of Syaoran's older sisters wears one. According to the guidebook, the colors of the girls' dresses [[IdenticalTwinIDTag help to distinguish them]].
* ''Manga/FairyTail'''s Lucy is introduced in a standard bluish outfit, complimenting the red waistcoat Natsu wears, though she's more feisty than most examples. Juvia also wears blue, initially to reflect her early characterization as a sad, gloomy girl loved by no one, though she also has some fiery moments and later brightens up altogether.

* ''Anime/SailorMoon'':
** Notably, Sailor Neptune is color-coded with turquoise and blue. She is the LipstickLesbian in contrast to Sailor Uranus's butch. She's also a CulturedWarrior. Not to mention that her hair is blue too. Also references [[MakingASplash her elemental powers]].
** Sailor Mercury is a demure ShrinkingViolet who often acts as TheHeart to her team - her hair and costume are blue. This is more pronounced in the [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon live action]] where the character receives a GirlinessUpgrade.
** Downplayed with Sailor Venus but still there. She's a GirlyBruiser who dreams of becoming an IdolSinger (and actually is one in [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon the live action]]). Although her signature colour is orange, she has a blue bow on her costume. And her Sailor V costume is coded with a blue skirt.

* ''LightNovel/UndefeatedBahamutChronicle'': There is no way around it, blue is [[AmbiguouslyHuman Krulcifer Einfolk]]'s favorite color. All her dresses feature blue in some way, blue is used to identify her in advertisements, even her [[IcyBlueEyes eyes]] and [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow hair are blue.]]
* Marnie from ''Anime/WhenMarnieWasThere'' favors wearing blue dresses. [[spoiler:Her style of dress could be {{foreshadowing}} to the fact she's not a [[DeadAllAlong modern-day child]]]]. She is a sweet, outgoing GirlyGirl in contrast to the shy and somewhat tomboyish Anna.

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'':
** Tea Gardner's Domino High school uniform is a combination of this and PinkMeansFeminine. Her coat is pink while her tie and skirt are blue.
** [[BlackMagicianGirl Dark Magician Girl]] wears a blue outfit with pink accents.
* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': Alexis Rhodes wears the Obelisk Blue girls uniform which consists of a white and blue top and blue skirt.

** Secre Swallowtail/Nero is calm, graceful, and has a dark blue grimoire and her black hair and dress is given a blue tint in the anime.

%%* ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'': Smurfette, and that isn't surprising.

* ''ComicBook/HawkAndDove'': Originally averted, as Dove represented many traditionally feminine qualities and had a primarily blue suit, but was himself male. When the first Dove died, the trope was played straight by his female successor.

* In ''Fanfic/BeyondHeroes: Of Sunshine and Red Lyrium'', blue is noted to be the color most associated with [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII Bethany Hawke]], as she's partial to it in her wardrobe. Overlaps with BlueIsHeroic.

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 [[BlueIsCalm 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.)

* In ''Manga/BlackClover'', the Blue Rose Knights are a Magic Knight squad of mostly women, with the males serving as errand boys. Their captain, Charlotte Roselei, is a coldly elegant woman whose roses formed by her Briar Magic are blue.

* ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura: TheMovie'' has Tomoyo wear a blue {{Qipao}} to contrast nicely with Sakura's pink Chinese-style jacket and trousers.

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

** Princess Ember, a female dragon from the season six episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E5GauntletOfFire Gauntlet of Fire]]", is one of the only two female dragons on the show and bright cobalt blue. The other female dragon, incidentally, is [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]].
** This also applies to ActionGirl Megan from the original generation, who wore blue overalls in the show.

* ''LightNovel/UndefeatedBahamutChronicle'': There is no way around it, blue is [[AmbiguouslyHuman Krulcifer Einfolk]]'s favorite color. All her dresses feature blue in some way, blue is used to identify her in advertisements, even her [[IcyBlueEyes eyes]] and [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair hair]] [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow are blue.]]

** Hinata Hyuga of the Hyuga Clan. Originally a ShrinkingViolet, she develops into a beautiful and confident LadyOfWar. She also has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair dark blue hair]] and wears navy blue pants.

** ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'': Rio Kastle has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair dark blue hair and light blue bangs]].

* The Maiden with Turquoise Hair/Blue Fairy from Carlo Collodi's ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'' is never specified in the text itself as wearing blue dresses, but colored illustrations and most adaptations give her that clothing to go along with her [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]]. It also helps that she's meant to be an expy of the Virgin Mary.

* Sona from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' is a [[Main/YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue haired]], sweet and calm [[Main/CuteMute mute]] songtress whose beautiful blue dress covers her [[Main/ImpossibleHourglassFigure esbelt]] [[Main/ImpossiblyLowNeckline body]]. Her skillset revolves around helping allies by damaging, debuffing and stunning enemies while also healing, shielding and buffing allies, thanks to her [[Main/HarpOfFemininity etwahl]].

* Played with in ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''. Susan has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair black-blue hair]] and usually is seen in blue clothing when strips are colored. She's definitely ''feminine'', and the head of her school's feminist club, but demure doesn't factor in - ''withdrawn'', due to her various traumas, feels like the word to use. Or raging with a magic hammer in her hand.

* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Undine is a MagicalGirl with blue [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair hair]] and [[ColorCodedCharacters overall theming]] who is quite feminine, as evidenced by her ladylike fashion sense, demure personality, and [[WaterIsWomanly control over water]]. This forms a contrast with her partner Heartful Punch in both [[ColorContrast color]] and [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl personality]] -- in spite of her [[PinkMeansFeminine pink theming]] and [[HeartBeatDown heart-themed powers]], HP is an athletic, tomboyish brawler to the core.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' plays with this trope regarding the title character. She often wears dresses in various shades of blue, [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak but despite her appearance,]] [[BadassAdorable her actions are not that feminine]]. Played straight with her mother, whose default outfit is a very feminine blue dress. [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair She also has blue hair]]. However, [[LadyOfWar there are times when she can fight]], but she's usually more graceful than Star.

* Downplayed with True from ''WesternAnimation/TrueAndTheRainbowKingdom''. She has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]], and is pretty girly; But blue is probably her natural hair color.

* ComicBook/TheSmurfs commonly has Smurfette, and that isn't surprising.
* ''Franchise/XMen'': When Jean Grey first appeared in ''The X-Men'' #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]].)

* ComicBook/{{Dazzler}} switched from a white costume to a blue one in the 1980s.
* The ComicBook/InvisibleWoman wears the blue uniform of the ComicBook/FantasticFour and is very feminine.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', the title character's GirlinessUpgrade is completed when she changes from her ragged yellow cossack tunic into a light blue dress Dimitri bought for her. From then on she frequently wears blue or blue-trimmed outfits: blue pajamas during the sea voyage, a blue-trimmed white sailor dress in her DreamSequence, a short blue dress through part of "Paris Holds the Key to Your Heart," a dark blue evening gown to the ballet, and a blue sash with her golden gown at the climax. Even before her makeover, she [[ImagineSpot imagines herself]] wearing a blue sash and hair ribbon with her yellow ballgown during "Once Upon a December," and wears a blue costume as a child at the party in the prologue. Blue and yellow are effectively her two signature colors.

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'': Invoked. Elinor, who resents Merida's tomboyish nature and wishes for her to be more ladylike, puts her in a tight turquoise silk dress as part of her royal attire before and during the contest. Merida doesn't take it well, preferring her darker and less restrictive dark blue dress. The end of the movie sees both of them in a dress of a similar shade, indicating that they've accepted each other's differences and similarities.

*** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'', Queen Elsa pretty much wears exclusively blue dresses, from the nightgown when we first see her as a young girl, to her teal coronation dress, to her ice-blue snow queen dress. This symbolizes many things, from her loneliness growing up, to her being more reserved compared to her sister. Though she only becomes slightly less reserved once she opens up herself. Mostly the blue is because she's AnIcePerson.

* In ''Film/{{Beauty and the Beast|2014}}'', Belle wears a deep blue dress for her dance with the Beast.

* ''Film/FrenchKiss''. Luc calls Kate a "goddess" when she wears an expensive blue dress to seduce her ex-fiance Charlie.

* ''Film/Bedazzled2000'': Elliot claims that his love interest Allison looks particularly good whenever she wears blue. Most of her costumes throughout his wishes are either primarly blue or have blue accents. This also has the added bonus of contrasting her with the Devil, the other woman Elliot frequently interacts with, who dresses in either [[LadyInRed red]] or black.

* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', Clara Oswald, an introverted and lonely, but usually very compassionate and kind companion, is fond of wearing articles of clothing in various shades of blue. Given its sheer frequency throughout her entire run, it's probably her subconscious favourite colour. [[spoiler:Outside of the original Clara, this habit even extends to some of her time paradox spawned doubles in different eras, especially the Victorian governess one.]] Possibly a symbol of loss too, as she lost her mother in her teens, which affected her rather profoundly. She's also occasionally seen in a predominant red or green from time to time, reflecting other sides of her personality. When she wears blue, she's mostly quiet and thoughtful, green-clad Clara is an adventurer, pragmatist and tends to be crankier, and wearing red clothing often coincides with her showing a 'cheery romantic dreamer' streak.
