| 7 | ->''"Yeah, nobody thinks I like girls. No one. Even if I told them that I did, I doubt they would believe me. ''[...]'' I guess the problem is that I'm so... feminine. If I told anyone I liked girls, they'd just take it as a joke. I really do like girls, though."'' |

| 10 | She dresses and acts in a manner that is considered conventionally feminine, likes "feminine" things such as wearing lipstick and/or "girly" interests such as ballet and the color pink — and only likes women. Fictional lesbians tend to fall into this category if they're "good" characters as it's often seen as "safer" to depict them, while [[ButchLesbian masculine lesbians]] tend to be relegated to "edgy" portrayals. Lipstick lesbians often have long fingernails which are impractical for sexual activity. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | A related term is "femme"; a contrasting term is "butch". In LGBTQ communities, lipstick lesbians are described as only attracted to other lipstick lesbians, "more feminine" than average straight women, or having an "over-the-top" expression of femininity. Creator/EllenDeGeneres jokingly coined the term "chapstick lesbian" to describe those who fall somewhere in between the two extremes of "lipstick" and "butch". |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Lipstick lesbians tend to be found a lot in works with lesbian characters; the reasons for this over-representation can include {{Fanservice}} (because GirlOnGirlIsHot), wanting to [[StopBeingStereotypical avert the stereotype]] of ButchLesbian (and the implication that non-heterosexuals are [[TransEqualsGay "gender-inverted"]]), wanting to present a lesbian character that won't "intimidate" viewers, and wanting to depict a woman who "just happens to be attracted to other women" rather than other aspects of LGBTQ cultures and identities. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Sometimes a work might tease or subvert this by having two pretty girls flirting or kissing, only to then reveal that one of them is [[AttractiveBentGender really a guy]] who was DisguisedInDrag ([[WholesomeCrossdresser or whatever]]). This wouldn't count as a straight example, though a UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} lesbian might if she is sufficiently feminine. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Related to the opposite of ButchLesbian, a high femme. MasculineFeminineGayCouple is for when this type of woman is paired with a more butch one. Lipstick lesbians who don't take the "girliness" to extremes can be seen as DistaffCounterpart to the male StraightGay, while ones who do, depending on your perspective, can either be seen as counterparts to the ManlyGay (in terms of over-emphasizing the "expected" characteristics of their gender) or the CampGay (in terms of going whole-hog into "femininity"). |

| 28 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 29 | * Moe in ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'' may act like a lesbian pervert on the first glance, but acts like a SmittenTeenageGirl when she interacts with her crush Misa, putting her to this trope. |
| 30 | * Krista Lenz/Historia Reiss from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' is the most feminine of the main cast, in contrast to her LoveInterest, [[ButchLesbian Ymir]]. |
| 31 | * Kita from ''Manga/BocchiTheRock'' is the most feminine member of the group and has a crush on her female friend Ryo. |
| 32 | * Maria from ''Anime/{{Canaan}}'' is all but stated to be in love with the titular character. She plays [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl the Girly Girl to the more masculine,]] ActionGirl Canaan. |
| 33 | * ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' has Tomoyo Daidouji, who has a crush on the titular Sakura. She's also an {{Ojou}} GirlyGirl with long hair and a love for fashion. |
| 34 | * Himeko and Chikane in ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'' though Himeko is arguably bisexual. Chikane is an {{Ojou}} and Himeko is equally as feminine, though not as refined. |
| 35 | * Akko and Mari from ''Manga/GirlFriends2006''. Particularly prevalent since much of the plot includes shopping for clothes, getting makeovers, and hairstyling. |
| 36 | * Nobara Yukinokouji from ''Manga/InuXBokuSS'' is an attractive woman who works as a bodyguard, and tells Ririchiyo that she would love to be in a sexual relationship with her. She also demonstrates her more feminine aspects by helping Ririchiyo with her hair in episode 3. |
| 37 | %%* ''Manga/IonoTheFanatics'' is overflowing, with Iono-sama leading the pack/harem. Actually, almost every female ever drawn by Creator/MiyabiFujieda fits in here. |
| 38 | * ''Manga/KashimashiGirlMeetsGirl'': |
| 39 | ** Yasuna is very feminine and only has eyes for Hazumu. It's unclear if she is actually a lesbian or if the fact she DoesNotLikeMen [[spoiler:due to being unable to ''see'' them clearly]] is why she leans towards girls, however she doesn't show any interest in men. Yasuna contrasts with Hazumu's other love interest, who is a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak. |
| 40 | ** Hazumu likely counts too. She was originally a boy but after being accidentally killed by aliens he was brought back as a girl. Even prior to the incident, she was InTouchWithHisFeminineSide. |
| 41 | * Yuzuriha of ''VideoGame/LapisReLights'' looks and acts like a YamatoNadeshiko and was absolutely ''delighted'' to be able to study abroad when her country, Yamato, was then an isolationist state. She traveled westward both to appreciate the culture ''and'' the women, going so far as to establish the Flora Girls' Academy's Cabaret Club, which also acts as a hostess club primarily catering to customers who want a "little sister" type. And if none of this was blatant enough, part of her official bio includes "Womanizing" in her likes. |
| 42 | * Yamato from ''Manga/{{Loveless}}'' acts as the more "femme" of the female Zeroes, as opposed to her fighter Koya. |
| 43 | * In the manga ''Maka-Maka'', Nene is a needy but sweet clothes-designing young woman to Jun's ButchLesbian. |
| 44 | * ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'': |
| 45 | ** Riko Saikawa is a girly girl (though she has [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak a noticeable tomboy streak]]) who's in love with Kanna. |
| 46 | ** Tohru could also count, due to her loving her new life as a maid (complete with maid outfit) and being madly in love with the androgynous Kobayashi. |
| 47 | %%* Several characters in ''Anime/QueensBlade'' count, such as Luna Luna. |
| 48 | * Michiru Kaioh/Sailor Neptune from ''Franchise/SailorMoon''; however, with her girlfriend being the more [[ButchLesbian masculine]] Haruka Ten'oh/Sailor Uranus, some might say it would be more accurate to describe her as 'femme'. Naturally, most international dubs of the [[Anime/SailorMoon first anime]] [[DubText attempted]] [[KissingCousins to]] censor this aspect of her character. |
| 49 | %%* Lavinia from ''SoukouNoStrain''. Bunny suit, anyone? And let's not get started on episode seven. |
| 50 | %%* Pretty much every [[CastFullOfGay character]] in ''Literature/StrawberryPanic'' except Amane. |
| 51 | * ''Anime/VariableGeo'': Ayako Yuuki works as a floor dancer at [=SoTO=] Techno Rave Club and dresses accordingly, in a haltertop, a mini-skirt with suspenders, and [[CombatStilettos high-heels.]] Her official character bio, states that she's not only a lesbian, but has entered the VG tournament as an excuse to see as many naked womens' bodies as possible[[note]]the rules of the tournament mandates that [[ShamefulStrip the loser of each match has to strip in the ring]] for the crowd[[/note]]. |
| 52 | * Nitori from ''Manga/WanderingSon'' is very feminine and would prefer to wear dresses and long hair if she could, though being a pre-transition [[UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} trans girl]] prevents that. Her girlfriend Anna works as a model and is a fashion savvy GirlyGirl. Anna is attracted to men but [[spoiler:admits that she is [[IfItsYouItsOkay perfectly fine with being seen as a lesbian]]]] as well. |
| 53 | * Lily in ''Manga/WastefulDaysOfHighSchoolGirls'' is a well-groomed GirlyGirl and has so far only demonstrated romantic interest in other women, among them Loli, Majime, and [[StacysMom Majime's mom]]. |
| 54 | * Hazuki from ''VisualNovel/YamiToBoushiToHonNoTabibito'', who has long billowy black hair, a pretty seifuku, stunning blue eyes, and is just slightly gayer than an entire pride parade reenacting the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The object of her affections is even more feminine, though bi- or pan-sexual. |
| 55 | * Togo from ''Anime/YukiYunaIsAHero'' is a girl who tries to embody being a YamatoNadeshiko and is very into traditional Japanese culture. Togo is in love with her best friend Yuna, however Yuna is completely {{oblivious|to love}}. |
| 56 | [[/folder]] |
| 57 | |
| 58 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 59 | * Thunder from ''ComicBook/{{Outsiders|2003}}'' is the femme lesbian while her partner Grace is the butch. |
| 60 | * The Kate Kane version of Comicbook/{{Batwoman}} started out as a Lipstick Lesbian. She was 'outed' in a cunningly-written magazine interview several months before the character premiered, and her first comic appearance was [[LadyInRed in a stunning party dress]] that caused jaws to drop both in and out of the comic. Her portrayal changed somewhat between ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'' and her lead stint in ''Detective Comics'', where she became significantly more {{butch|Lesbian}}, such as wearing a wig in costume to hide her short hair and, in contrast to the above, showing a preference for tuxedos over dresses. |
| 61 | * ''ComicBook/BlueIsTheWarmestColor'': Clémentine and Emma, especially in contrast to [[ButchLesbian Sabine]], though they're both slightly {{tomboy}}ish in their looks. |
| 62 | * In the ''Bluntman and Chronic'' comics, based on the [[ShowWithinAShow Comic Book Within A Show]] of the same name from Film/TheViewAskewniverse movies, one of their nemeses is a lesbian called the Lipstick Lesbian. |
| 63 | %%* In ''{{ComicBook/Circles}}'', Gus the ButchLesbian's girlfriend Lucy is this. |
| 64 | * ''ComicBook/FinePrint'': The bi/pansexual and lesbian woman (or [[NonhumanNonbinary female]]-[[SexShifter presenting]] Cubi as well) favor long hair while often wearing blouses, skirts, dresses or [[{{Stripperific}} almost nothing]]. Samantha (Sam) is a partial exception, her TomboyishName with BoyishShortHair being slightly more butch, but she otherwise usually wears feminine clothing too and isn't masculine. |
| 65 | * Sarah Rainmaker, from ''ComicBook/Gen13'', although it took a while for her to truly come out as one. She is often actually seen attending protests and demonstrations on behalf of the LGBT community and has a tendency to lecture her teammates when they (often) fail to live up to her standards of political correctness. (Usually without much success.) |
| 66 | %%* Kato in Dynamite Entertainment's modern-day ''ComicBook/TheGreenHornet'' book. |
| 67 | * Stormer and Kimber from ''ComicBook/JemAndTheHologramsIDW'' are both feminine and are a couple. Kimber in particular [[SmittenTeenageGirl falls for girls easily]] but is committed to Stormer. Kimber's bandmates (and sisters) don't care about their relationship but Stormer's hate her dating a Hologram. |
| 68 | * Karolina Dean of ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' is one of the most feminine members of the group. That doesn't stop her from liking other girls. She and Julie Power of ComicBook/PowerPack once dated (Julie herself is a bisexual). At another point, she tries to kiss her friend Nico, mistaking her as lesbian just because Nico said she's "done with boys forever". |
| 69 | %%* Victoria Hand |
| 70 | %%* Karma |
| 71 | %%* Moondragon |
| 72 | %%* Phyla-Vell |
| 73 | %%* Annabelle Riggs in ''Fearless Defenders'' |
| 74 | [[/folder]] |
| 75 | |
| 76 | [[folder:Comic Strips]] |
| 77 | * Sydney Krukowski from ''ComicStrip/DykesToWatchOutFor'' refers to herself as femme, although the way she looks and acts isn't that different from her girlfriend Mo (who is sometimes considered a {{butch| lesbian}}.) |
| 78 | [[/folder]] |
| 79 | |
| 80 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 81 | * When she really makes an effort, Miss Alice Band of the Guild of Assassins comes over as this, although on a scale of one to ten (where one is the Butch stereotype) her usual placement would be around six or seven. On one Guild assignment, she had to pose as a circus high-wire artiste - which involved ''seriously'' glamming up. Alice Band, a very minor and largely unseen character in canon, is fleshed out in the Literature/{{Discworld}} works of Creator/AAPessimal. |
| 82 | * In ''Fanfic/AdventuresOfTheMorningStar'', Vi’s [[spoiler: late]] girlfriend, Aine, wore dresses and the like. Sona is also quite feminine and was married to a woman. |
| 83 | * [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Alice Cullen]], as portrayed in ''Fanfic/AsDreamsAreMadeOn'', is squarely in the lipstick lesbian category, taking a great deal of joy and pride in her fashion sense and skill with makeup. The protagonist, Cass [[spoiler:or Bella]], isn't much of a lipstick lesbian in her own right, but her tastes do run to the femme side and she cleans up nicely. |
| 84 | * [[spoiler:Gianna]] of ''Fanfic/{{Luminosity}}'' is this to the extent that no one ''notices'' until a female vampire mate-bonds to her. This was intentional on her part, though she doesn't change at all when she gets in an open relationship. |
| 85 | * Erika and her Gym staff are portrayed this way in ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines''. |
| 86 | * ''WebVideo/StoneybrookRevisitedABabySittersClubFanSeries'': Shannon is a GirlyGirl who is married to Kristy. |
| 87 | * In ''FanFic/TheUnexpectedLoveLifeOfDuskShine'', it's [[spoiler:Celestia]]. |
| 88 | * In ''Fanfic/WickedWiles'', Grumpy falls for another "female" dwarf, a feminine dwarf names Gabby that uses she/her pronouns, wears earrings, and keeps her beard short. |
| 89 | [[/folder]] |
| 90 | |
| 91 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 92 | * ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'' has Teresa the Taco who's in love Frank's bun girlfriend, Brenda. |
| 93 | * Knockout plays with this trope in ''WesternAnimation/SuicideSquadHellToPay''. While she is very muscular, she is very voluptuous and feminine, so much men are not at all deterred by her height or appearance. She is also willing to use [[FemmeFatale seduce her male targets to get what she wants]] and favors a very revealing ChainmailBikini as costume. Her girlfriend Scandal Savage on the other hand is a ButchLesbian (even referred like that InUniverse). |
| 94 | [[/folder]] |
| 95 | |
| 96 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 97 | * ''Film/ThreeGenerations'': Dolly and her partner Frances are both middle-aged, highly feminine women. |
| 98 | * ''Film/EightyEightMinutes'': Shelly, who mentions she's gay early on but has entirely feminine looks and manner. |
| 99 | * ''Film/OneHundredGirls'': Wendy is a lesbian with a GirlNextDoor vibe. |
| 100 | %%* Felice and Lilly in ''Aimee and Jaguar''. |
| 101 | * ''Film/ALAventure'': Mina and Sophie are lipstick bisexuals. Both have long hair and mostly dress in beautiful dresses with elegant looks. They have a BDSM relationship with each other [[{{Polyamory}} and Mina's husband]]. Later the pair have sex away from Mina's husband. Mina then has sex with Greg too. |
| 102 | * ''{{ComicBook/Alena}}'': Alena and Fabienne. Both are feminine girls who fall for each other. |
| 103 | * ''Film/AllCheerleadersDie'': Maddy and Leena both wear makeup and feminine clothing, with Maddy especially being indistinguishable from the other cheerleaders in her style. Tracy, who also has sex with Maddy, is pretty much a GirlyGirl as well. Played with, though, in that Leena is more of a PerkyGoth and that Maddy is implied to have been closer to a ButchLesbian before changing her look to join the cheer squad. |
| 104 | * ''Film/{{Alto}}'': Nicolette and the other lesbians seen all have long hair, feminine clothing etc. This also applies to Frankie, though she may be bi. |
| 105 | * ''Film/Anon2018'': The lesbian couple who are murdered both have long hair and a very feminine presentation. Anon, who slept with them, has only a slightly less feminine look (but she's bisexual, judging by most of her lovers being men). |
| 106 | * ''Film/TheArcher'': Lauren, despite being a skilled archer, is a demure, long-haired girl with a graceful air. Her friend Emily (whom she nearly slept with) has much the same looks and manner (perhaps bisexual, given she is dating a guy, even if he's abusive). At most, they would be more chapstick lesbians. Rebecca, whom Lauren is later involved with, would also count as chapstick, because though a bit more tomboyish she's still far from butch. |
| 107 | * ''Film/AtomicBlonde'': Lorraine has longish hair, wearing nice dresses much of the time and has an elegant grace (at least when not brutally fighting men). She's revealed to be bisexual, having been involved with French agent Delphine. The latter was even more feminine, with long hair, a demure manner and pretty revealing clothing. |
| 108 | * ''Film/BelowHerMouth'': Jasmine, who's a GirlyGirl with long hair, discovers she's attracted to women [[ClosetKey through Dallas]] while engaged to a man (as a result, whether she's a lesbian or bisexual is [[AmbiguouslyBi left ambiguous]]. |
| 109 | * ''Film/BetterThanChocolate'': |
| 110 | ** Maggie definitely, who's a feminine lesbian with long hair and girly air generally. |
| 111 | ** Frances would be more chapstick, as though she's got short hair and more masculine clothing, she's not really butch in other ways. |
| 112 | ** Judy, who's also transgender, is a lesbian with long hair, usually dressed in a blouse at least if not a full dress, while always making herself up. |
| 113 | * ''{{Film/Bit}}'': Laurel is a very feminine [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} trans]] lesbian, always wearing her hair long while in skirts and blouses often. While Izzy and Frog's attire/manner isn't entirely traditional (with short hair in Frog's case, plus slightly more tomboyish attire), they don't qualify as butch either. They're probably best described as "chapstick", in between these styles. |
| 114 | * ''Film/{{Bloodthirsty}}'': Grey and Charlie both favor overall feminine styles, although it isn't that intense. They largely just come off as average, putting them in chapstick territory. |
| 115 | * ''Film/{{Bottoms}}'': |
| 116 | ** Maybe a lipstick bisexual since she's dating Jeff at first, but Isabel falls for a lesbian girl, Josie, and they kiss, then have sex together offscreen. She's a very feminine cheerleader who's always in blouses, skirts, has long hair [[PinkMeansFeminine and loves pink]]. |
| 117 | ** Another feminine cheerleader, Stella-Rebecca, realizes she's a lesbian near the end of the film by [[LGBTAwakening seeing Hazel and PJ kiss]]. |
| 118 | * In ''Film/Bound1996'' gangster's moll Violet is one of these who falls for ex-con tough girl Corky. She's a GirlyGirl with a curly feminine hairstyle, wearing revealing clothes throughout the film. |
| 119 | * ''Film/BoysOnTheSide'': Jane is a chapstick lesbian, neither butch nor femme but an average in between. [[spoiler:It turns out that Robin, whom she believed was straight, also loves her. Robin has average looks as well.]] |
| 120 | * ''Film/BreakingTheGirls'': Alex and [[spoiler:Nina]] are both feminine lesbians. They have long hair and often wear very nice dresses along with being madeup. |
| 121 | * Megan and Hilary in ''Film/ButImACheerleader''. Megan is the titular cheerleader, and Hilary, as the product of an all-girl boarding school, is prone to clothing reminiscent of school girl uniforms. |
| 122 | * In ''Film/BridgetJonesTheEdgeOfReason'', the very feminine [[spoiler:Rebecca Gillies]] harbours a crush on Bridget. |
| 123 | * ''Film/CarmenYLola'': Both the title characters are feminine young women, especially Carmen, who both have long hair. They enjoy makeup, fashionable clothing and jewelry. They get into a relationship. However, Carmen seems to be more a lipstick bisexual, since she was already happily engaged with a man at first. Lola on the other hand only shows attraction to women. |
| 124 | * ''{{Film/Carol}}'': Both Carol and Therese remain feminine, in spite of other changes they go through (most notably having a relationship together). |
| 125 | * ''Film/ChasingAmy'': Alyssa is revealed to be one, with long hair and a pretty girly manner, contrasting to her butch lover Kim in the lesbian bar. Later, however, she is shown to be a lipstick bisexual/pansexual. |
| 126 | * ''Film/{{Colette}}'': Colette and Georgie are both bisexual women who (mostly, in Colette's case, exclusively for Georgie's) dress in nice dresses while they largely conform to gender presentation that was expected from them overall, while having a relationship together ([[BisexualLoveTriangle and with Willy]]). |
| 127 | * ''Film/Compulsion2016'': Sadie and Francesca are both feminine women who have a relationship. Both largely wear very beautiful ([[VaporWear highly revealing]], in Sadie's case) dresses, with a demure air most of the time. Francesca has long hair, and though Sadie's got it short the elegant style doesn't make it [[BoyishShortHair come off as unfeminine]]. Sadie however is bisexual as she's left her boyfriend when they get together. |
| 128 | * ''Film/CynaraPoetryInMotion'': Cynara always dresses in elegant dresses, acting as a ProperLady as expected from a well-bred woman like her (though her having sex with another women violates the 1800's feminine norms of course). |
| 129 | * ''Film/DaddyIssues'': Maya and Jasmine both are feminine young women. They both have short hair, but like makeup, mostly wearing revealing pants and tops (Jasmine especially), sometimes skirts or a couple times skimpy dresses. Maya is explicitly a lesbian who's only shown as attracted to Jasmine (who's also into men, but doesn't use labels for herself). They start dating early in the film. |
| 130 | * ''Film/{{DEBS}}''. Both Amy Bradshaw and Lucy Diamond pretend to be tough but are, deep down, nice, feminine girls who are very much in love with each other. |
| 131 | * ''Film/DriveAwayDolls'': Marian is a prim and proper lesbian. She's often dressed in a smart blouse and skirt, with her long hair done up in a neat ponytail. Marian is annoyed frequently by her tomboy friend Jamie's much more unconventional ways. Some minor lesbian characters are also feminine. |
| 132 | * ''Film/TheDukeOfBurgundy'': Cynthia and Evelyn are both very elegant, feminine women in a BDSM relationship. |
| 133 | * ''Film/ElenaUndone'': Elena is a very elegant woman with long hair, who wears makeup and generally feminine clothing (she's probably bisexual, given Peyton is the first women she ever was attracted to). Peyton is less so, certainly far from butch either, with more in-between looks. |
| 134 | * ''Film/EntreNous2021'': Elodie and Laetitia are a couple, while both have long hair but they usually wear average clothing, putting them in chapstick territory. Laetitia is bisexual though. |
| 135 | * ''Film/FeastOfLove'': Kathryn and Jenny would fall more into the chapstick category. They have average feminine looks, not especially pronounced, and become a couple. As she apparently never found a woman attractive [[ClosetKey before Jenny]] Kathryn might instead be bisexual though. |
| 136 | * ''Film/FemmeFatale2002'': Veronica appears to be one. She's a very feminine model with long hair and a willowy build in a [[DiamondsInTheBuff nearly nonexistent bejeweled outfit]] who gets seduced easily by Laure (while in a rather butch getup) to [[HoneyTrap steal the jewels]]. [[spoiler:It may not be the case however as they're actually accomplices, thus this could all be for show. On the other hand, she ''seems'' [[TheImmodestOrgasm very enthustiastic]] while having sex with Laure.]] |
| 137 | * ''Film/FirstGirlILoved'': Anne, and possibly Sasha, who both have feminine looks/attire. |
| 138 | * ''Film/ForbiddenLoveTheUnashamedStoriesOfLesbianLives'': They were less common in the 40's and 50's, according to women interviewed, though some of them qualified according to their looks as shown. One also made herself into a femme on getting involved with a fellow butch. Laura and Mitch, the two lesbians from the pulp story, are also quite feminine. |
| 139 | * ''{{Film/Gia}}'': Gia's lover Linda, who is a makeup artist and much more feminine in comparison with Gia. |
| 140 | * ''Film/{{Gigli}}'': Ricki, with a more feminine appearance in comparison to her ex-girlfriend Robin. |
| 141 | * ''Film/GirlsLikeMagic'': Maggie is a very feminine GirlyGirl with long hair who falls for Jamie, a lesbian tomboy who she became friends with. |
| 142 | * ''Film/TheGuestHouse'': Amy has long hair and very feminine clothing. She's also into women, getting into a relationship with Rachel (who's at least bisexual, possibly a lesbian, as it's [[AmbiguouslyBi left ambiguous]]). |
| 143 | * ''Film/TheHaunting1963'': Theo is all but stated to prefer women - and she's always dressed fashionably, with her hair done and some jewellery. She also shows Nell how to paint her nails ([[PinkMeansFeminine and in pink!]]). In the [[Film/TheHaunting1999 remake from 1999]], Theo is openly bisexual (with a girlfriend and boyfriend [[{{Polyamory}} at the same time who know about each other]]). She wears her hair long and has fairly feminine attire, though it isn't exaggerated. |
| 144 | * ''Film/HeadInTheClouds'': Gilda and Mia dress in very beautiful dresses most of the time, their hair styled nicely, along with wearing jewelry. They turn out to be bisexuals, having been lovers before in the past while they also both have relationships with Guy, among other men. |
| 145 | * ''Film/Heatwave2022'': Claire and Eve (or at least a lipstick bisexual, in Eve's case, as she's married to a man). Both have long hair and wear elegant feminine clothing which highlights their looks (though that's [[MsFanservice not hard to begin with]]). |
| 146 | * ''Film/HigherLearning'': Taryn is a feminine lesbian, with long hair and conventional clothing, although she's also not extremely so. Kristen is at least [[AmbiguouslyBi possibly bisexual]] and interested in Taryn, with a similar look. |
| 147 | * ''Film/HollySleptOver'': {{Downplayed}}, but Holly is a demure, long-haired woman who always dresses in clothes which show off her good looks. She's bisexual however, having a threesome with Audra, her ex-girlfriend, and Audra's husband Noel. Audra herself is more average than anything, and doesn't use labels. Pete even explictly says Holly is a lipstick lesbian on seeing her photo. |
| 148 | * ''Film/ICantThinkStraight'': Tala and Leyla both qualify, as they present themselves in traditionally feminine ways. Of course, it's expected since they begin as not "out" even to themselves and come from traditional cultures. |
| 149 | %%* Luce in ''Film/ImagineMeAndYou''. |
| 150 | * ''Film/TheIncrediblyTrueAdventureOfTwoGirlsInLove'': Wendy and Evie are both conventionally feminine. Both have long hair and wear blouses or skirts sometimes. In both cases they may be bisexual though, since they have relationships with men too. |
| 151 | * Magalie in ''Film/{{Intouchables}}'' is a very feminine secretary and personal assistant to Philippe. She's always elegant, well-groomed and highly sophisticated in general. Driss, the main character, tries to flirt with her for the entire movie... only to learn in the finale that "Fred", Magalie's coming-and-going significant other, is actually Frederica. Oh, and for further contrast, "Fred" is a ButchLesbian. |
| 152 | * ''Film/ItsAWonderfulKnife2023'': |
| 153 | ** Gale and her wife Karen. They both have long hair (Gale more than Karen) and wear feminine outfits. This is {{downplayed}} however, making the two more chapstick. |
| 154 | ** [[spoiler:Winnie is a feminine girl with longish hair who [[PinkIsFeminine likes pink]] and eventually falls for Bernie, another girl (although she may be bisexual as she'd dated a boy earlier).]] |
| 155 | * ''Film/JackAndDiane'': Diane is a very femme lesbian, with long hair, feminine clothing and a girlish voice. |
| 156 | * ''Film/JaggedMind'': Most of the lesbians who appear in the film have longish to long hair, with fairly feminine clothing styles, such as favoring blouses with skirts or tights. Billie, the protagonist, is a bit more of a tomboy, but certainly not butch. |
| 157 | * ''Film/JennifersBody'': |
| 158 | ** Jennifer, who seems to be a lipstick bisexual, wears her long hair, with feminine clothing (including very short skirts) at all times, having sex with a lot of men. She also seems very into her female best friend Needy. Actress Creator/MeganFox says she played her as a very closeted lesbian. |
| 159 | ** Needy, conversely, has a boyfriend who she seems into but also appears to find Jennifer attractive. She dresses more frumpily, but in a likewise feminine way, and thus [[AmbiguouslyBi may also be]] a lipstick bisexual. |
| 160 | * ''Film/JennysWedding'': |
| 161 | ** Jenny is a lesbian with long hair who wears skirts or dresses frequently, makeup and tasteful jewelry. When she at last comes out to her mother, her mom can't believe it as their tastes are so alike (apparently believing lesbians have to be [[ButchLesbian more masculine]]). |

| 175 | * ''Film/MargaritaWithAStraw'': Khanum is a feminine woman who's revealed to be a lesbian. |
| 176 | * ''Film/{{May}}'': Polly. She's a GirlyGirl who's only shown being into women, first May and then Ambrosia. Ambrosia also counts as this trope, with long hair and very revealing feminine outfits, especially showing off her shapely long legs. May is herself [[AmbiguouslyBi possibly bisexual]], with long hair, a shy demure air (at first) and makes herself feminine clothes like long dresses. |
| 177 | * ''Film/TheMiseducationOfCameronPost'': According to the counselors at [[CureYourGays God's Promise]], one of the girl's is lesbian because she's ''too'' feminine. More specifically, Jessica's into pageants and her beauty led to her feeling inadequate in her femininity, which in turn led to her same-sex attraction. Cameron, Coley, and a number of other lesbian girls all also have traditionally feminine looks, but they aren't as pronounced. |
| 178 | * Miss New York in ''Film/MissCongeniality'', given that she's a ''beauty queen''. Her girlfriend too, evident in the brief glimpse we get of her. |
| 179 | * ''Film/MulhollandDrive'': Betty and Rita. Also Camilla and Blond Camilla kissing at the dinner party. They're all women with long hair who wear dresses mostly, usually with an elegant manner. |
| 180 | * ''Film/TheNewMutants'': Dani is pretty chapstick, with long hair but no particular femme traits (nor butch). She's just a very average girl in how she acts and dresses who happens to be a lesbian. |
| 181 | * ''Film/ANewYorkChristmasWedding'': Gabby and Jenni are both feminine women. They have long hair, like jewelry, (subtle) makeup and fine dresses, though generally they dress more casually. Jenni had fallen for her in the past, and finds they're engaged within the new timeline. Gabby is a lesbian, Jenni appears to be bisexual as there's no indication she wasn't really attracted to her fiancé David in the prime timeline, feeling torn between them at first. |
| 182 | * Goth couple Medea Yarn and Hellabent from ''Film/OttoOrUpWithDeadPeople'' they wear long frilly dresses, make up and act very feminine all the time. |

| 191 | * ''Film/RoomInRome'': Natasha might be a lipstick bisexual, although she doesn't use the term, given her intense tryst with Alba while also being engaged to a man in Russia. She has on a very stylish dress to start, with long hair, and is quite feminine overall in her manner. |
| 192 | * ''Film/TheRoommate'': Irene is a lesbian with very feminine clothing and mannerisms. |
| 193 | * ''Film/RoughNight'': Blair and Frankie, two femme women, both turn out to have dated in college. During the film Blair also hooks up with a man and woman at once, so she's probably bisexual. Near the end, they get back together. |
| 194 | * ''Film/{{Sappho}}'': More lipstick bisexuals as they [[BisexualLoveTriangle share a man]], but Sappho and Helene are both very feminine despite their slightly androgynous flapper looks along with being involved together. Sappho always acts quite demure and even girlish, Helene is more elegant, with reserve befitting of a ProperLady (she's an emigrant Russian aristocrat). |
| 195 | * ''Film/SavingFace'': Lovers Vivian and Wil both have long hair. Wil likes to wear masculine clothing, but still isn't butch overall. Vivian wears feminine clothes and makeup. |
| 196 | * ''Film/SheHateMe'': Fatima, Alex and most of the others are this, with a feminine style overall (though those two appear to really be bisexuals). |
| 197 | * ''Film/{{Sheroes}}'': Daisy is demure, long-haired lesbian with a feminine clothing style. |
| 198 | * ''Film/ShesGottaHaveIt'': Opal is long-haired, wears nice dresses and jewelry, while being attracted to her friend Nola as a self-declared lesbian. Funnily enough, Nola (who's aggressively straight) is more butch, slightly, with her short hair and less feminine dress style. Jamie's surprised that Opal's a lesbian because her style doesn't [[ButchLesbian fit the stereotype]], but then admits this is silly after Opal notes lesbians can look like anything. |
| 199 | * ''Film/ShowMeLove'': Elin is a GirlyGirl with long hair and feminine (often rather revealing) clothing, plus the usual teenage girl's interests. She falls for tomboy lesbian Agnes. Elin is likely bisexual though, as she's attracted only to boys before Agnes. |

| 202 | * Lucille from ''Film/SinCity''. |

| 204 | * Madeline in ''Film/Snapshot1979'' is a model who doesn't show any interest in men (at one point in fact attacking a man who makes a pass on Angela), and later confesses to Angela that at Angela's age she realized that she "banged at the wrong gong", before all but confessing that she's in love with Angela. |
| 205 | * ''Film/Steam2007'': Elizabeth has long hair, wearing a blouse and skirt at first with modest makeup, while being into women. Her girlfriend Niala is more carefree in her looks, with long hair too but more revealing tops and pants, though far from butch either (she's bisexual rather than lesbian like Elizabeth as well). Elizabeth adopts more of her style over time, including a nose ring. |
| 206 | * ''Film/TheSummerOfSangaile'': Auste likes to wear dresses, have stylish hair and otherwise acts very feminine. She's interested in fashion and making clothes. While Sangaile isn't nearly as girlish, she's still very far from butch in her style. |
| 207 | * ''Film/Summerland2020'': Alice and Vera. They both have prim and proper looks, though Alice is a bit less in the present. Vera remains especially so. They were lovers during the 20s [[spoiler:and get back together later]]. |
| 208 | * ''Film/SweetSweetLonelyGirl'': Adele is a GirlyGirl with long hair who shows an instant attraction to Beth (she returns this), who's a bit less feminine than her. Both are more lipstick bisexuals as they show or relate attraction for guys too. |
| 209 | * ''Film/Switch1991'': Sheila Faxton is certainly not the "butch" type. She both acts quite feminine and wears very stylish, glamorous dresses, while nearly hooking up with Amanda. |
| 210 | * ''{{Film/Thelma}}'': Thelma is a quite feminine young woman who's attracted to her female classmate Anja. Meanwhile Anja too is a feminine woman and reciprocates her attraction, but may be bisexual as she's also shown dating a guy before. However, [[spoiler:Anja's attraction to her may be induced by Thelma's powers.]] |
| 211 | * ''Film/TheresaAndAllison'': All of the film's lesbians are at most chapstick, usually favoring more feminine hair (often long) and clothing styles, though they aren't always too pronounced. The same goes for bisexual woman Allison. They generally wear at least skirts, if not more revealing clothes. Theresa's maker was especially elegant. |

Ness is saddened by this [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy but supportive]]. |
| 216 | * ''Film/TheTruthAboutJane'': Jane isn't ''super'' feminine, but feminine enough in her clothing, with long hair, and Taylor exceeds her. Ms. Walcott is even more so also, with a slightly old-fashioned feminine hairstyle and clothing, while her girlfriend is a bit less. |
| 217 | * ''Film/VForVendetta'': Valerie, in the flashbacks, is portrayed as being classically feminine, with long hair, a regal air and mostly wearing dresses. It doesn't stop her from being persecuted by the Norsefire regime along with all other LGBT+ Britons. |

| 222 | * ''Film/WhenEvilCalls'': Molly is really bisexual, it's revealed (due to having cheated on her girlfriend with a boy), though otherwise she fits the trope very well, with long hair and feminine clothing. Usually it's a revealing school uniform ([[CatholicSchoolGirlsRule i.e. tight blouse and very short skirt]]) or her basketball uniform, which is also skimpy. These only highlight her existing good looks. |
| 223 | * ''Film/WhenNightIsFalling'': Both Camille and Petra qualify given their feminine looks, though the former appears to be bisexual. Possibly; her relationship with her boyfriend appears somewhat shallow. |
| 224 | * ''Film/TheWhiteOrchid'': The White Orchid was a lipstick bisexual, a very elegant woman who liked to wear fancy dresses, with long hair, very red lipstick and acting in a highly feminine manner. Claire also emulates this when taking on the same style, and goes to bed with a woman. |

| 227 | * ''Film/WrongTurn4BloodyBeginnings'': Sara and Bridget, the lesbian couple, act just like their straight friends. Both have long hair, wearing revealing tops and tight-fitting jeans like them too. This isn't exaggerated though, making the two more chapstick. |

| 231 | * Creator/SMStirling has a peculiar variant that recurs again and again in his books. His typical "Strong Woman" character will be both [[ActionGirl improbably athletic and capable in combat]] and [[TheLadette more of a man than the men]] -- yet, at the same time, conventionally beautiful and gorgeous so [[HeadTurningBeauty every guy wants her and every girl wants to be her]] (if they don't [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer want her, too]]). Usually, she will be paired with another lesbian of the same type, though slightly less over the top, or else a more submissive and traditionally feminine (and equally gorgeous) one. Examples can be found in the [[Literature/TheDraka Draka]] books, the ''Literature/IslandInTheSeaOfTime'' series, ''Literature/TheShadowspawn'' trilogy, and even Stirling's ''Terminator'' [[Literature/T2Trilogy tie-ins]]... In fact, it's rather few of his original series that do ''not'' feature at least one of these in a prominent role. |

Once they part, Tasia becomes involved with [[BodyguardCrush her bodyguard]] Joslyn, a ButchLesbian soldier. |

| 243 | * Felicity Worthington, from the ''Literature/GemmaDoyle Trilogy'', behaves like a proper Victorian girl. There are very few hints about her true sexual orientation (subtext only). However, it is revealed in ''The Sweet Far Thing'' that she is in fact a lesbian and was in love with Pippa Cross. Probably due to the attitude of the time, she views this part of her with contempt and is in the closet about it; she seems to think that this means there is something wrong with her. Pippa is another example, although she also expresses interest in boys, so she's either bisexual or IfItsYouItsOkay. |
| 244 | * ''Literature/HaniAndIshusGuideToFakeDating'': Hani is a lipstick bisexual, with very long hair and favoring dresses or other feminine attire. In general, she's quite demure at first, into fashion and likes using makeup. |

| 252 | * In ''[[Literature/TheBeeboBrinkerChronicles Odd Girl Out]]'', published in 1957, the feminine Laura initially doesn't believe she can be a lesbian because she knows about homosexuals--"the men were [[CampGay great sissies]], and [[ButchLesbian the women]] [[ValuesDissonance wore pants]]." |
| 253 | * ''Literature/OfFireAndStars'': |
| 254 | ** Dennaleia is a demure and feminine girl who adheres to what's expected from women, usually wearing different beautiful dresses. She's attracted to Mare, the sister of her fiance, and shows no desire for men. [[spoiler:Over time she gets tougher, though her style doesn't change.]] |

Doe is in love with Ayala, dresses in pink, and writes poetry. Ayala is also an example, because she wears dresses and hopes to be a fashion designer. |
| 261 | * ''Creator/SimonaAhrnstedt'' has a 17th century example of this in her novel "De skandalösa", when the beautiful and docile Venus Dag och Natt turns out to be gay. She is way more traditionally feminine than ButchLesbian Nora Gripklo. |

Season 2 features Benner trying to score a date with Sara's help too, with a good majority of her matches being women. |
| 278 | * ''Series/AlmostFamily'': Edie and Amanda qualify, dressing and acting in a traditionally feminine way. Both are technically bisexual since they admit attraction to men, but [[NoBisexuals only identify themselves as lesbians]]. |

She begins a relationship with {{butch lesbian}} Billie. It's possible Rose is bisexual, as her other relationships are with men (but then, this could be [[TheBeard just cover too]], given the homophobia she faces). |
| 301 | * ''Series/TheConfessionsOfFrannieLangton'': Frannie and Marguerite are both feminine women. They have long hair, and wear the elaborate dresses which were expected. Anything else when this was set (1820s' England) would have been shocking and scandalous. As it is, they have to keep secret that they're lovers. Marguerite sleeps with a man by choice once, but this was indicated to just be for comfort in a moment of weakness. |
| 302 | * ''Series/ControlZ'': [[spoiler:Gaby]] is [[LongHairIsFeminine long-haired]] and wears feminine clothing, while secretly into women. |
| 303 | * ''Series/ConversationsWithFriends'': Frances is long-haired, pretty demure and also wears fairly conventionally feminine clothing, but it isn't exaggerated. She's bisexual and previously dated African-American lesbian Bobbi, who's now best friends with her. |
| 304 | %%* In ''Series/CoronationStreet'', Rosie Webster refers to her sister Sophie as "Quite feminine really" and happily says that she "Loves lesbians, especially the lipstick ones." |
| 305 | * ''Series/Counterpart2018'': |
| 306 | ** Though short-haired, Greta's sweet while having a feminine clothing style and manner. She dates Baldwin, a ButchLesbian hitwoman (but she's unaware of her profession at first). |
| 307 | ** Baldwin's own counterpart Nadia was a lesbian too, but with a far more feminine style. Nadia wore her hair long with a blouse and skirt in her appearance on the show. |
| 308 | * ''Series/{{Creepshow}}'': In "[[Recap/CreepshowS1E8LydiaLanesBetterHalf Lydia Lane's Better Half]]" both Lydia and Celia, her girlfriend, count. The latter especially, who has long hair and a very nice blue dress. Lydia, though she wears slacks and a shirt instead, also has a very regal feminine look, along with long hair. Both are very stylish overall. |
| 309 | * ''Series/Cursed2020'': Morgana and Celia are secretly lovers (as they're nuns at the start). Both are also feminine young women with [[LongHairIsFeminine long hair]] and wear dresses, as was expected then. |
| 310 | * ''Series/DarkDesire'': Edith is a lesbian, it turns out, who's very feminine, with long hair and always wears an elegant blouse/skirt ensemble. Leonardo finds it funny as a result that Alma believed he was involved with her. |

| 312 | * ''{{Series/Dates}}'': Erica has long hair, wearing stylish blouses and skirts. She's demure and reserved usually (though alcohol later makes her loosen up). She's a closeted lesbian at first before coming out. |
| 313 | * ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'': |
| 314 | ** The feminine and frilly Zoe realizes that she's a lesbian. It becomes a big deal because people (including her own mother) don't believe she's gay because she's so feminine. |
| 315 | ** Fiona. There's nothing remotely tomboyish about her and she defies the stereotypical ButchLesbian. |
| 316 | %%** Paige as well, when she was with Alex. |
| 317 | * ''Series/{{Deputy}}'': Bishop's girlfriend Genevieve is a very feminine lesbian with long hair who gets dolled up while on the town in a flattering blouse and skirt. When they break up, Bishop dates Julie, who's equally feminine. |
| 318 | %%* Robin Gallagher from ''Series/DesperateHousewives''. |
| 319 | * ''{{Series/Dickinson}}'': Emily and Sue, who are very feminine in mannerisms and style. More lipstick bisexuals, as both of them have relationships with men too that seem genuinely desired. |
| 320 | * ''Series/ADiscoveryOfWitches'': Diana's lesbian aunts are indistinguishable from other middle-aged women aside from their sexual orientation. |
| 321 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 322 | ** When not [[BattleCouple kicking ass]], Madame Vastra and her wife Jenny Flint are decked out in lovely Victorian dresses. |
| 323 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E4ArachnidsInTheUK "Arachnids in the UK"]]: Minor character Frankie, mentioned to be married to Jack Robertson's niece, is wearing a well-tailored pantsuit, as well as having her hair nicely done and wearing makeup. |
| 324 | %%* One use for the Dolls in ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}''. Also [[spoiler:Mag]] who is more of a chapstick lesbian. [[spoiler:She has something akin to a coming-out scene in the Epitaphs comic.]] |
| 325 | * ''Series/DontLookDeeper'': Aisha and Jenny, who it turns out she'd been involved with are girls with a chapstick look (long hair, but fairly average clothing). In Aisha's case she seems to be bisexual, with her dating a boy initially too, but Jenny isn't shown as attracted to anyone but Aisha. |
| 326 | * Lucy in ''Series/Dracula2013'' is a lipstick lesbian, while Lady Jayne is a lipstick bisexual. Lucy in particular wears copious amounts of ultra-feminine dresses, mostly in varying shades of pink and purple. Jayne is more a LadyOfWar, favoring [[HellBentForLeather leather]], though still in a feminine style. Lucy secretly loves Mina, and Jayne encourages her to act on her feelings. Jayne is shown enthusiastically having sex with men, but says she had multiple female lovers before ever seeing any. |
| 327 | %%* Binnie and Della from ''Series/{{Eastenders}}''. |
| 328 | %%* Creator/LauraDern as "Susan" in the "outing" episodes of ''Series/{{Ellen}}''. |
| 329 | %%* Zoe Tate and most of her girlfriends from ''Series/{{Emmerdale}}''. |
| 330 | * ''Series/{{Equal}}'': Many of the lesbians shown have a feminine style indistinguishable from the norm in the 50's and 60's. Lorraine Hansberry is a famous example shown, with the lesbians she befriended or had relationships having the same style. |
| 331 | * ''Series/{{ER}}'''s Kerry Weaver is more of a chapstick lesbian--attractive, feminine, but short-haired and abrasive--but her companions tend to fit this trope (with the slight exception of Sandy, who despite her decidedly feminine looks, has a unisex name, is a firefighter, and like Kerry, an abrasive personality). |
| 332 | * ''Series/{{Euphoria}}'': Jules is more of a lipstick bisexual, hooking up with tons of guys and then finding love with Rue, her female friend. She has long hair and very femme looks. |
| 333 | * ''Series/EverythingNow'': Carli and Alison are both more feminine girls, while both find Mia attractive. They have long hair with pretty feminine outfits. Carli at least appears to like boys as well however. |
| 334 | * Amy from ''Series/FakingIt'' zigzags with this trope, as her entire plotline revolves around her discovering her sexual orientation and experimenting with gender performance. She starts out with long hair and also often favors feminine attire. Upon realizing she's into her friend Karma though and after dating another girl (who's a ButchLesbian), Amy gets a bit more tomboyish in her dress style, getting into chapstick territory. |
| 335 | * ''Series/TheFamily'': |
| 336 | ** Willa, who is never anything less than properly feminine. She's also completely in the closet and before getting involved with Bridey doesn't seem to have been in touch with her sexuality at all. It later turns out her brother Danny knew all along. |
| 337 | ** Bridey too is a feminine lesbian (or perhaps bisexual woman) with long hair and mostly wearing pretty skirts with blouses. |
| 338 | * ''Series/FantasyIsland2021'': |
| 339 | ** Ruby is a feminine woman who enjoys wearing jewelry and dresses (though her hair is short). She is attracted to other women, but had kept it secret for years. |
| 340 | ** "The Romance and the Bromance" features two, Isabel and Rachel (her idol whom she goes into the past to meet), having a romance. Both are slightly less feminine than the norm in their periods though. |
| 341 | * ''Series/FeelGood'': George (who is more of a lipstick bisexual), the woman she meets at the wedding and Laura are all feminine women with female lovers (or AFAB, in George's case, as her lover Mae's nonbinary) who have largely conventional looks. |
| 342 | * ''Series/FellowTravelers'': The lesbians are mostly feminine as was expected for women in the 1950s, with long hair, wearing dresses and maintaining demure manners. Mary is the prime example in the series. |
| 343 | * The ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' episode "War Stories" has [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Inara]] taking a female client (also of the [[LipstickLesbian Lipstick]] variety). According to Kaylee, this isn't the first time. Both Inara and the client wear fancy, elegant clothing. |
| 344 | * ''Series/TheFirstLady'': Eleanor is a very genteel, elegant feminine woman who is always dressed in the way expected from a ProperLady during the early 20th century, having an affair with Lorena "Hick" Hickok during the 30s. Hick meanwhile is more androgynous with [[TheFlapper flapper-style clothing]], but certainly not butch either. |
| 345 | * ''Series/TheFlash2014'': Nora only shows attraction to women, almost botching an incredibly simple mission over being too transfixed by the female target's good looks. [[WordOfGay Later confirmed]] by Eric Wallace, Season 5's writer, [[https://twitter.com/westsiriss/status/1304853732912517120 explicitly referring to her as lesbian]]. It's to the point that she puts on purple lipstick at super speed as part of her costume change. Overall she's feminine and girly. |
| 346 | %%* Urzula and Liberty from ''Series/FootballersWives''. |
| 347 | * ''Series/ForLife'': Safiya along with her wife have a feminine hair and clothing style. |
| 348 | * ''Series/AFrenchVillage'': Marguerite, who's feminine as the next woman per 1940s French standards, it turns out is a lesbian, having a photo of her girlfriend under her pillow. Lucienne it turns out is more of a lipstick bisexual, since she's equally feminine and sleeps with Marguerite but her other relationships were with men. |
| 349 | %%* Ross's ex-wife Carol in ''Series/{{Friends}}'' is this. Susan, not so much. |
| 350 | * ''Series/GinnyAndGeorgia'': Max and Sophie are more chapstick, into girly stuff like their straight friends. though it's not very pronounced. At times Max also dresses a little more tomboyish too. Sophie is possibly bisexual, since she's dated boys too. |
| 351 | %%* ''Series/{{Glee}}'': |
| 352 | %%** Another case of Lipstick Bisexuals is Brittany from ''Series/{{Glee}}''. |
| 353 | %%** Later episodes have it clear that Santana is a closeted LipstickLesbian with a rather... straight-forward way to keep her sexuality secret. |
| 354 | %%** Santana's NYC girlfriend, Dani, is also a Lipstick. |
| 355 | %%* Anne on ''Series/GoOn'' lost her partner, which is why she's in the support group. |
| 356 | * ''Series/GothamKnights2023'': Stephanie is a feminine girl with long hair, usually dressed in a blouse and skirt. It turns out she's a lesbian. |
| 357 | * ''Series/{{Guilt}}'': Roz, Kaley and Molly all wore their hair long, while they also often dressed in very pretty, stylish feminine clothes. It turns out Kaley and Molly had both had sex with Roz, but also Prince Theo. At the same time, Roz worked as a HighClassCallGirl, therefore it's probable they were actually all bisexuals. |
| 358 | * Margot Verger in ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'' is very feminine, unlike her masculine [[Literature/{{Hannibal}} book counterpart]]. Alana Bloom is a Lipstick Bisexual. |
| 359 | * Highly feminine reporter Louise Ellison in ''Series/HellOnWheels'' was sent west at least partly to keep her away from her boss' daughter, but she didn't seem to mind when Bohannon kissed her either. She didn't really respond but that could have been just because she was shocked and surprised. In season four, she begins an affair with Governor John Campbell so it's likely she's really bisexual. |
| 360 | * Season 4 of ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' has Gretchen and Claire. Although this is more an example of a lipstick bisexual with Claire, as she's mostly in relationships with men. Both have long hair and feminine clothing, along with their manner. |
| 361 | * ''{{Series/Hightown}}'': Jackie's ex-girlfriend and the other women she's seen with are all feminine lesbians. |
| 362 | %%* Charlotte and Gina from ''Series/{{Hollyoaks}}''. |
| 363 | * Thirteen on ''Series/{{House}}'' - or at least lipstick bisexual. She wears her hair long with stylish clothing. |
| 364 | * ''{{Series/Humans}}'': Niska and Astrid, her girlfriend. They're both feminine and in a relationship. |
| 365 | * ''Series/InTheDark'': |
| 366 | ** Jess is something of a chapstick lesbian. Her ex-girlfriend Vanessa turned out to be a lipstick bisexual and they split over Jess's anxiety at not being able to please her like a man. |
| 367 | ** Felix's sister Leslie is also a lipstick bisexual, it's revealed. |
| 368 | * ''Series/IrmaVep'': |
| 369 | ** Mira and Laurie are both bisexual women who like feminine garb a lot of the time, along with wearing their hair long. It's not too extreme though, and both also wear other styles. |
| 370 | ** Zoe, an elegant feminine woman, also turns out to be a lesbian. |
| 371 | %%* Serena Southerlyn of ''Series/LawAndOrder'' - though we only find this out 10 seconds before she leaves the show. |
| 372 | * ''Series/JustShootMe'': |
| 373 | ** Jill, the gorgeous, very feminine model in "Two Girls For Every Boy". Finch is delighted when he learns she's attracted to Maya and begins trying his best to get them together [[GirlOnGirlIsHot for his pleasure]], despite the fact that [[IncompatibleOrientation Maya is straight]]. They figure this out and play along to screw with him as revenge. |
| 374 | ** In "Finch and the Fighter" Kelly, a female boxer whom Finch dates, is something of a chapstick bisexual. She has long hair and is happy to wear a very sexy dress while on a date with him, but is otherwise in a profession considered traditionally masculine, mostly seen in workout clothes. Previously she had dated ButchLesbian Maria. |
| 375 | ** In "Halloween? Halloween!" we have a second Kelly, a very beautiful, feminine woman who turns out to be a lesbian (she's also a model). She's into Finch, thinking that he's a {{butch lesbian}} in costume at a Halloween party, which he rolls with until the inevitable [[UnsettlingGenderReveal reveal]]. |
| 376 | * ''Series/LawAndOrderOrganizedCrime'': Ayanna Bell is a very taciturn lady with long hair and mostly feminine attire (more chapstick, as it's subtle) who also happens to be happily married to another woman (who's slightly more femme) and is expecting a child with her. |
| 377 | * ''Series/Liar2017'': DI Vanessa Harmon and her wife are both feminine women, with no stereotypical traits to indicate their sexual orientation. |
| 378 | * ''Series/LipService'': Tess and Cat have long hair with feminine styles of dress, though Tess is a bit more "chapstick". |
| 379 | %%* Cassandra Cillian of ''Series/TheLibrarians2014''. |
| 380 | * ''Series/LineOfDuty'': Joanne Davidson it turns out previously was dating Farida Jatri in Series 6. Both are more chapstick, with average looks no different than their straight female colleagues, which also lets their sexual orientation stay a surprise until it's revealed. [[spoiler:Jo is then shown dating a red-haired woman later at the end in {{witness protection}}, who she's clearly happy with and also has a feminine style.]] |
| 381 | * ''Series/LostGirl'': All of the lesbians and bisexual women on the show are feminine, though to varying degrees. They all have long hair with average or more girly clothing, depending on the person and occasion, putting some more into chapstick styles. Bo (bisexual) and Lauren (lesbian) start as the main sapphic female characters, with their [[WillTheyOrWontThey on and off]] relationship being a plot arc which spans the series. Evony and Tamsin (both of them bisexual) are introduced later. Additionally, Crystal (lesbian), Nadia (lesbian) and Dagny (pansexual) are supporting characters. |
| 382 | * ''Series/LunaNera'': Tebe and Janara are in a relationship together. Both have long hair and wear elegant dresses, as was expected from women in the 1600s. |
| 383 | * ''Series/TheLWord'': Most of the cast, quite deliberately. Ilene Chaiken publicly claimed that the show would never have been made if it hadn't pandered to the MaleGaze (and unfortunately, she's probably right). However, that isn't necessarily a [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools bad thing]]. The show seemed to have a well-rounded group of lesbians who were feminine, butch, or somewhere in between. The fact that the show had so many overtly feminine lesbians was fairly groundbreaking, in having so many non-stereotypical lesbians. And it seemed even ''less'' about "lipstick lesbians" than it was simply "women who have different styles of dress." Shane dresses in an androgynous and punk rock way, Bette is fond of prim suits and button-down shirts, Alice is girly with a tomboyish streak, Jenny is overtly girly most of the time, Dana seems to be somewhere between tomboy and girly, and Tina seems to have a bit of a boho thing going on. |
| 384 | * ''Series/TheMagicians2016'': Marina 23, at least, who has a girlfriend she intends to marry. It's possible main-timeline Marina is a lesbian as well, though it's never actually confirmed. |
| 385 | * ''{{Series/Manifest}}'': Saanvi and her ex-girlfriend, who are both very feminine. Her ex may be bisexual though, since she's married to a man. |
| 386 | * ''Series/TheMick'': Sabrina is a pretty femme girl, with long hair, wearing skirts, blouses or dresses frequently and liking girly things. In "The Juice" she dates Alexis, a {{lesbian jock}}. Sabrina also dates guys however, refusing any labels for her sexual orientation. |
| 387 | %%* Alex and her fiancée Lisa from ''Mistresses''. |
| 388 | * ''Series/MixedIsh'': Paul's estranged mother and her partner, who both appear as ordinary and feminine middle-aged women. |
| 389 | %%* ''Series/MurderInTheFirst'': Jamie Nelson, who is going through an acrimonious split with her wife. |
| 390 | * ''Series/MyDeadEx'': Wren is a feminine girl with long hair who likes to wear revealing tops and leggings just like Charley, her straight best friend, though Wren's slightly more into chapstick territory as a result of her sarcastic, mildly tomboyish personality. She's openly pursuing another girl at school (but [[AmbiguouslyBi possibly bisexual]]) who is if anything even more feminine than her. |
| 391 | * ''Series/NancyDrew2019'': Bess, who has long hair, with a feminine clothing style and manner, is also a lesbian. She's shown looking for dates with women by a dating app, and gets a girlfriend in the early half of the show. |
| 392 | %%* Lana from ''Series/{{Neighbours}}''. |
| 393 | * ''Literature/NOS4A2'': Maggie is revealed to be a lesbian (by abruptly having sex with a woman she's just met). She's got a faminine style, with long hair, wearing stylish blouses and skirts while using makeup. The woman she hooks up with in the scene is also quite feminine, and has a style that's similar. |
| 394 | * ''Series/NoTomorrow'': |
| 395 | ** Sofia is a very feminine woman who turns out to be a lesbian, starting a relationship with Kareema. She's engaged to Rohan, Kareema's brother, but only [[CitizenshipMarriage to get citizenship]]. |
| 396 | ** Kareema however is more of a chapstick bisexual, since she's a bit more tomboyish (though also far from butch) and also into men (in fact, Sofia was apparently her ClosetKey regarding same-sex attraction). |
| 397 | %%* Marissa Cooper from ''Series/TheOC'' is a lipstick bisexual, though the show hinted that she might have only been bicurious. |
| 398 | * Lizzy on ''Series/OneBigHappy'' doesn't show any stereotypical traits. Though considering the show is produced by Creator/EllenDegeneres, she's closer to a "chapstick" lesbian. |
| 399 | * ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'': Franzizka (Poussey's German girlfriend shown in flashbacks) and Shani, an ICE detainee who gets involved with Nicky. Both are very feminine, in contrast to their lovers. |
| 400 | * Delphine from ''Series/OrphanBlack'' likes to dress in very expensive-looking and feminine clothing, and winds up in a relationship with Cosima. |
| 401 | * ''Series/TheOrville'': There was no indication that Charly had any interest in women prior to "Twice in a Lifetime", but the reason she hates the Kaylon (and, by extension, Isaac) so much is because she was in love with her best friend and saw herself having a life with her, and the Kaylon had killed Amanda with the rest of their ship before she had the chance to tell her so. She tells Isaac as much in the same episode. Charly has long hair and a conventional feminine look overall, but it isn't exaggerated-more chapstick. |
| 402 | * ''Series/OutOfPractice'', a failed show on CBS, had a central character who screamed this trope to the heavens. She dressed provocatively, threw herself at women, and couldn't open her mouth [[HaveIMentionedIAmGay without bringing up the topic of her sexuality]]. |
| 403 | * ''Series/ThePact'': Tish is a bisexual with long hair who's seen early on wearing a very nice dress when off work. She ends her relationship with her boyfriend and later dates ButchLesbian Cat. |
| 404 | * ''Series/{{Pandora}}'': Jax and Atria are both revealed to be lipstick bisexuals. They have long hair and wear stylish, feminine clothing like dresses (Atria especially, Jax when not in her more utilitarian military garb). Both have been involved with women and also men. |
| 405 | * ''Series/PaperGirls'': 1999!KJ and Lauren, her girlfriend (especially the former). Both have long hair, with 1999!KJ wearing a nice dress at the time while being feminine overall. |
| 406 | * ''Series/PartyOfFive2020'': Teresa is quite feminine, and casually involved with another women. Although slightly {{tomboy}}ish in her interests [[spoiler:Lucia]] may be another example as her look is otherwise feminine and she's also attracted to Teresa. However, she's struggling with it. |
| 407 | %%* Simone from ''Series/{{Passions}}''. |
| 408 | * ''Series/PerryMason2020'': Della and her girlfriend Hazel are both quite feminine, wear makeup and pretty clothes, and it's not obvious that they're lesbians until they're shown in bed with each other. In Season 2, Della sees Anita St. Pierre, who's also feminine, though a bit less so. They visit a [[WhereEverybodyKnowsYourFlame lesbian bar]] with many other women partying there in stylish dresses as well (though with {{butch lesbian}}s too). |
| 409 | %%* A surgeon who is the POI of the week and her wife both qualify for this trope in an episode of ''Series/PersonOfInterest''. |
| 410 | * ''Series/PhilipKDicksElectricDreams'': "[[Recap/PhilipKDicksElectricDreamsS1E5RealLife Real Life]]" has both Sarah and Katie, her wife, who appear completely indistinguishable from straight women, so the reveal of their relationship is surprising. |
| 411 | * ''Series/PicnicAtHangingRock'': [[spoiler:Marion, Miss [=McCraw=] and Irma]] are all {{proper lady}} denizens of a finishing school. In the first two cases they're a couple, while the latter shows attraction to girls along with boys. |
| 412 | * ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'': A show with an abundance of gay and bisexual women, specifically about stylish and attractive girls. |
| 413 | ** Emily is the obvious examples, being one of the titular "pretty" little liars. |
| 414 | ** Maya and Alison are both lipstick bisexuals. |
| 415 | ** Paige is more of a borderline example; she has various shades of a ButchLesbian in the first season, but the following seasons give her a complete makeover including [[LongHairIsFeminine long hair]], [[HotterAndSexier more revealing outfits]] and toned down her aggressive behavior (well, most of the time anyway), which pretty much makes her qualify too. |
| 416 | ** Shana, Talia, and to lesser extent Samara also fit the trope. Jenna is revealed to be a lipstick bisexual. |
| 417 | ** If one counts the AmbiguouslyBi, Mona also fits here. |
| 418 | %%* Lindsay from ''Series/QueerAsFolkUS'' (played by bisexual actress Thea Gill). |
| 419 | %%* A minor character on an episode of ''Series/{{Reba}}'' is one. |
| 420 | * ''Series/TheRepublicOfSarah'': Alexis Whitmore is a very elegant feminine woman who always wears skirts and has long hair (she might be bisexual, as she's married to a man), who's seeing AJ (herself more chapstick, as her style is a bit less femme, though hardly butch either). |
| 421 | * On the Philippine teleserye ''Series/TheRichMansDaughter'', three of the four lesbians are feminine, namely the two principal characters Jade and Althea, and the latter's ex Wila. |
| 422 | * ''{{Series/Riverdale}}'' provides a very literal example in the person of Cheryl Blossom: her bright red shade of lipstick is one of her signature characteristics. |
| 423 | * ''Series/RoswellNewMexico'': Isobel turns out to be bisexual, with a cowboy aesthetic but also feminine style that includes long hair, using makeup, wearing skirts and jewelry frequently. |
| 424 | %%* Linda in ''Series/{{Seacht}}''. |
| 425 | %%* Susan from ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' becomes this after she breaks up with George. |
| 426 | * Both Nomi and her girlfriend Amanita in ''Series/{{Sense8}}'' are very feminine, though that doesn't stop them from briefly participating in a [[ButchLesbian Dykes on Bikes]] event in the San Francisco Pride Parade. It's possible Amantia is bisexual though, since her hair is dyed in the colors of the bi pride flag. |
| 427 | * ''Series/TheSexLivesOfCollegeGirls'': Leighton's a very femme woman who's always made up with long hair and very stylish clothing, while also being a closeted lesbian. |
| 428 | * ''Series/{{Shadowhunters}}'': Olivia and Samantha, her girlfriend, are both long haired, acting and dressing overtly feminine. |
| 429 | * ''Series/TheShannaraChronicles'': Lyria's a very elegant princess who wears gorgeous dresses, while also being into women. |
| 430 | * ''Series/ShesGottaHaveIt'': Opal and Nola. They have long hair, jewelry and like feminine clothing, but it isn't exaggerated. Nola however is pansexual, with Opal being the only woman she's seen with. |
| 431 | * Edie from ''Series/SixFeetUnder'' is a very attractive lesbian—a sensual blue-eyed blonde. She dresses sexy, too. |
| 432 | * ''Series/{{Skins}}'': |
| 433 | ** Emily Fitch, especially in Season 3 where she has a very girly, innocent fashion style. |
| 434 | %%** Sophia. |
| 435 | %%** And in Gen 3, [[spoiler:Mini]] is turning out to be this, or at least a Lipstick Bisexual. |
| 436 | %%* Spencer and Ashley's relationship in ''Series/SouthOfNowhere'' takes up a considerable amount of [[CharacterFocus attention]] within the show. |
| 437 | * ''Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand'': Lucretia, a lipstick bisexual who enjoys sex with both men and women, including some threesomes, is usually dressed in the trailing, elegant dresses of a Roman nobleman with long hair (actually a wig) impeccably done up. Ilithya is also a bisexual (but [[ButNotTooBi never actually has sex with a woman onscreen]], despite bedding more than one man, who has this style too. |
| 438 | %%* Both Camille and her girlfriend in ''Series/StargateUniverse'' are this. |
| 439 | * ''Series/TheSummerITurnedPretty'': One of the debutante girls has come with her girlfriend as her escort. Both of them wear fancy dresses with their hair styled, just as the straight girls do. However, at the actual debutante ball, [[MasculineFeminineGayCouple one is in a gown while the other has on a tux]], so whether this is either one's preferred clothing style isn't clear. |
| 440 | * ''Series/Supergirl2015'': |
| 441 | ** Maggie Sawyer, who is a tough cop who is more in the "chapstick" category (she has long hair, but also more masculine clothing and a somewhat tomboyish manner, but not enough for "butch" either). She had an alien ex-girlfriend who learned English by tongue contact. |
| 442 | ** Alex Danvers also realizes she's lesbian (due to [[ClosetKey her attraction for Maggie]]) and is similar. She's got short hair, largely masculine clothing and a law enforcement job, while otherwise being feminine. |
| 443 | ** Kelly Olsen is quite feminine, and it turns out she's lesbian as well. |
| 444 | * ''Series/{{Survivors}}'': Anya turns out to be a chapstick bisexual, with long hair and conventional looks in between butch or lipstick stereotype, when it's revealed she was once involved with her friend Jenny in the past. Meanwhile, she's got a strong, mutual attraction to Tom. |
| 445 | * ''Series/SWAT2017'': In "[[Recap/SWATS02E06NeverAgain Never Again]]" Chris is revealed to be dating Kira, a woman with long hair and traditionally feminine clothing. However, like Chris she's bisexual. |
| 446 | * ''Series/SwitchedAtBirth'': It's revealed in "Human/Need/Desire" that Natalie is either a lesbian or bisexual (she's dating a girl later). Natalia has a feminine style of dress and manner overall. |
| 447 | * ''Series/{{Timeless}}'': Denise is a lesbian who's married to a woman and has children with her, who is mostly shown in business attire or more feminine clothing at times, with long hair. |
| 448 | * ''Series/TippingTheVelvet2002'': Kitty may dress up as a boy for the stage, but is conventionally feminine outside the theater. Ms. Lethaby, Zena and Florence could also qualify. Nan, however, gets more butch as the story goes on. We also see a number of minor lesbian characters who have feminine looks. |
| 449 | %%* Parodied in ''Series/ATouchOfCloth'' with Ann Oldman and her various girlfriends. |
| 450 | * ''{{Series/Trinkets}}'': |
| 451 | ** Sabine, Elodie's {{love interest}}. She has [[LongHairIsFeminine long hair]], plus generally feminine clothing. |
| 452 | ** Elodie fits more as "chapstick", with in-between clothing but also [[BoyishShortHair short hair]]. Jillian in Season 2 is also an example, with long curly hair and much the same style as Elodie. |
| 453 | ** It's {[downplayed}} by Sam. She has piercings, one side of her hair shaved and wears flannel and very little to no makeup but has long hair and looks more feminine in comparison to her crush Elodie. |
| 454 | * ''Series/{{Twenties}}'': |
| 455 | ** Lorraine, Hattie's sometime lover, is very femme with long hair, always made up and wears very stylish feminine clothing. She also dates men though and has rejected all labels. |
| 456 | ** Ida B, whom she gets involved with later, is an elegant women with the same kind of tastes. |
| 457 | * ''{{Series/Vida}}'': Emma and (to a slightly lesser extent) Cruz (or lipstick bisexual, in Emma's case) who has a quite feminine style of dress. Possibly also Vida, assuming she was a lesbian and not bi, who always dressed in feminine ways from what we see. |
| 458 | %%* Jo from ''Series/WaterlooRoad''. |
| 459 | * ''Series/WeAreWhoWeAre'': Maggie wears her hair long and has more feminine clothing when not in uniform. However, she's more "chapstick" than a straight example, since it isn't pronounced. |
| 460 | * ''Series/TheWheelOfTime2021'': [[spoiler:Moiraine and Siuan]] turn out to be long-term lovers. Both of them are feminine woman with long hair and wear elegant dresses most of the time. |
| 461 | * ''Series/TheWhiteLotus'': Valentina, who's always impeccably made up in elegant pantsuits with her hair down, turns out to be a closeted lesbian attracted by her female employee Isabella ([[IncompatibleOrientation who's straight]]), though she then had sex with Mia. |
| 462 | * ''Series/WhyWomenKill'': Joan and Grace are revealed to be having an affair. They also happen to be very feminine in their presentation, wearing fine dresses, always made up and with long hair. |
| 463 | %%* The second half of the lesbian couple in the MiniSeries''The Women Of Brewster Place''. She is notably the friendlier of the two. |
| 464 | * Jaye's sister Sharon in ''Series/{{Wonderfalls}}''. About the most butch thing about her is that she smokes and drives an SUV. |
| 465 | * ''Series/YearsAndYears'': Edith and Fran, who prior to being revealed as lesbians give no sign of it, with a style no different from most straight women. |
| 466 | * ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'': Taissa and her wife Simone in the 2020s are both very femme, with long hair while wearing feminine clothing like nice dresses frequently. |
| 467 | * ''Series/YouMeHer'': Izzy and Emma are both feminine bisexuals, especially the latter. Both of them wear blouses, skirts and makeup regularly, with Emma having fairly long hair, Izzy's slightly shorter, while they act conventially feminine overall, though it's not especially pronounced. [[spoiler:Later on, Emma's girlfriend Kylie is also feminine, as are Jett and Kim, whom they meet.]] |
| 468 | [[/folder]] |
| 469 | |
| 470 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 471 | * Implied in the MOTTS song "I Want Her". It's never mentioned what the sexuality of the object of her affections is, but the woman is noted as particularly feminine and alluring. |
| 472 | [[/folder]] |
| 473 | |
| 474 | [[folder:Pro Wrestling]] |
| 475 | * They aren't above invoking HoYay for comedy, but The Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew is made up of two HeterosexualLifePartners who have even helped each other regarding relationships with men (Wrestling/JimmyJacobs and "Sick" Nick Mondo). However, Lacey and Rain's Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} merchandise tends to depict them as GirlyGirl lesbians and their [[DoesNotLikeMen man hatred]] is at its strongest on the promotion's shows. |
| 476 | [[/folder]] |
| 477 | |
| 478 | [[folder:Theater]] |
| 479 | * One of the princesses turns out to be one in ''Theatre/HeadOverHeels''. |
| 480 | [[/folder]] |
| 481 | |
| 482 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 483 | * ''[[VideoGame/AdvancedVariableGeo Advanced V.G.]]'' As a dancer, Ayako Yuuki loves the spotlight and [[http://www.fightabase.com/charMain.aspx?id=303 dresses provocatively]] to draw attention to herself. Her attire usually consists of a short loose-fitting halter-top, a skintight miniskirt, and [[CombatStilettos high-heeled stilettos.]] But she also loves the female body, so she enters the VG tournament[[note]]which is a women's only [[SupernaturalMartialArts MMA competition]], where [[ShamefulStrip the loser of each match has to strip]] in the ring[[/note]] to take in all the eye candy... in hopes of hooking up with one of 'em. |
| 484 | * In ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'', Tyalie is the most unabashedly “girly” girl on the team, with a cute voice, frilly clothes, and multiple bows in her hair. The only hint that she’s a lesbian comes from the rainbow flag hanging proudly on the wall of her bedroom. (Well, that and her [[EveryoneCanSeeIt painfully obvious crush]] on Catie, the main heroine). |
| 485 | * Maiko Maeda from ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077''. She's a very feminine woman and the ex-girlfriend of the resident GayOption, Judy. Like many examples, she's very much SilkHidingSteel. Female [[PlayerCharacter V]] can also be one, since the character creator offers many feminie hairstyles and make up, and you can find a lot of feminine clothing options in the gameplay. |
| 486 | * Noelle Holiday from ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' dresses and acts traditionally feminine, and has an [[CrushBlush obvious interest]] in the more tomboyish Susie. |
| 487 | * Veronica Santangelo from ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''. One of her quests involves finding a dress for her to wear, completely inverting RealWomenDontWearDresses as a result. Ironically, Veronica is also a WrenchWench, fond of making off-colour jokes, and her favored weapon is a PowerFist. |
| 488 | * Heather from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'' is pretty, very feminine, and into the ladies. |
| 489 | %%* Rain Quinn in ''VideoGame/FearEffect''. |
| 490 | * ''VideoGame/MagiaRecordPuellaMagiMadokaMagicaSideStory'' has Rika Ayano; she loves fashion and makeup, and her magical girl outfit is a super-cute FrillsOfJustice number, complete with a laser-shooting compact mirror for a weapon. The thing that caused her to become a magical girl was her sadness at the female childhood friend she was in love with getting a boyfriend. |
| 491 | * Possibly Waitress Aurora in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', a character you go onto Ferris Wheel dates with if you play as Hilda. Her Japanese conversation mentions a boy, but the English version excludes that. The Ferris Wheel dates are full of [[{{Double Entendre}} innuendo]] and Aurora's is no exception. |
| 492 | * Specialist Samantha Traynor in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' is very feminine and only into women. |
| 493 | * Franke from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' is best friends with the canonically bisexual Kitty. There's nothing in the games themselves to suggest they're anything but friends, however [[AllThereInTheManual the "Campster" website]] (a parody of Friendster) suggests otherwise. Her "interests" list only Kitty, her favorite band is Music/{{Tatu}}, and her favorite show is ''Series/{{Ellen}}''. Both Franke's and Kitty's profiles list each other in an "open relationship" with the other. |
| 494 | * Audrey Shear in ''VideoGame/TheSims3 Roaring Heights''. Other than being married to a woman when the neighborhood is first played, Audrey has the looks and personality of a stereotypical 1920's housewife. Her wife Dylan on the other hand, dresses in a more androgynous style. |
| 495 | * ''VideoGame/{{Unpacking}}'': [[spoiler:The protagonist's girlfriend, who moves in with her in 2015. Her clothing is quite a bit more traditionally feminine, and she owns more makeup and cosmetics than the protagonist.]] |
| 496 | [[/folder]] |
| 497 | |
| 498 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 499 | %%* The majority of cast in ''VisualNovel/AkaiIto'', especially Yumei. Well, Tsuzura is Tomboy. |
| 500 | %%** Its sequel ''VisualNovel/AoiShiro'' is all over the spectrum, from the extremely feminine Nami to the probably-transman Kohaku. |
| 501 | * [[spoiler:Misha]] from ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo''. She's very feminine and even [[spoiler:has (explicitly [[DyeHard dyed]]) pink hair]] and is a lesbian. She has deep [[{{gayngst}} issues over the fact]]. |
| 502 | * Jaehee from ''VisualNovel/MysticMessenger'' was made to cut her hair short and wear glasses when she started working for Jumin in order to look more androgynous, but in the good ending of her route where she quits her assistant job with him and starts a cafe with the player character, she begins to dress how she wants, growing her hair out long and wearing dresses with ruffles and frills. While her attraction to MC during her main route is downplayed and skirted around, she all but confesses her romantic feelings towards her in the Christmas DLC -- at the end of it, MC kisses Jaehee on the cheek as she sleeps and resolves to work up the courage to tell her that she loves her too. |
| 503 | * Lambdadelta from ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', the CuteWitch surrounded by pink and candy who only has eyes for fellow witch Bernkastel. |
| 504 | [[/folder]] |
| 505 | |
| 506 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 507 | * Didi of ''Webcomic/{{Bomango}}'' is cute, perky, petite, extremely feminine, and a lesbian. Meanwhile, her {{Polar Opposite Twin|s}} "sister" Gogo [[note]](Didi budded off of Gogo which would technically make her Gogo's clone/daughter, but they consider each other sisters and have a sisterly relationship)[[/note]] is a towering, ripped BrawnHilda with [[LittleBitBeastly monstrous/animal-like]] features such as ''claws'', an ''extremely'' [[TheLadette masculine, boisterous, and violent personality]], and is straight as a board. |
| 508 | * ''Webcomic/{{Contrasts}}'': Ahsoka and Barriss, respectively. |
| 509 | ** Ahsoka's crush on Barriss is very obvious. She's also quite feminine, even girlish at times, in her manner. Ahsoka may be a lipstick bisexual, assuming her attraction to Lux is still part of the comics' world. |
| 510 | ** Barriss eventually reciprocates Ahsoka's attraction. Her style is even more feminine, as she's outfitted in something more closely resembling a dress, with her head scarf too, and is a demure person. |
| 511 | * ''Webcomic/DarkestNight'': Bisexuals actually, but Nessa is long-haired with feminine clothing, the same as Ava, liking ButchLesbian Mags but also guys. |
| 512 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Rhoda is a GirlyGirl who likes wearing earrings, often wears pink and has a [[ShrinkingViolet shy personality]]. She is currently dating Catalina, who is a ButchLesbian. |
| 513 | * Girly lesbians are the dominant type in ''Webcomic/GirlsWithSlingshots''. All of the major lesbian or bisexual characters are prone to curves, makeup, and girly interests. Butch lesbians exist, but they have their own hangouts (one of which Jamie visits during her ComingOutStory arc). |
| 514 | * Kanaya from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', the troll's "bugging and fussing and meddling" TeamMom, with Virgo as her associated sign, is a lesbian and the only troll with an interest in fashion. Literally a LipstickLesbian in that her [[MakeupWeapon main weapon is a lipstick]] that sometimes transforms into a {{chainsaw| good}}. |
| 515 | ** There's also Rose, Kanaya's girlfriend, who enjoys skirts, knitting, and trashy romance novels. |
| 516 | * ''Webcomic/KurumisAfterHours'' has Nagi, who's madly in love with the titular protagonist, but is decidedly mellower and more feminine than the object of her affections. |
| 517 | %%* [[spoiler:Jessica [=McIntyre=]]] of ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}''. See [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/494 this strip]] which shows her with long hair and wearing earrings. |
| 518 | %%* Both Lia and Fiona from ''Webcomic/YuMeDream'' are generally feminine and are in love with each other. |
| 519 | %%* Amber from ''Webcomic/KhaosKomix'', with her perfect curls. |
| 520 | * ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'': |
| 521 | ** Daphne. Her girlfriend [[spoiler:Sara]] sports a look that's part ButchLesbian (BoyishShortHair and feminine-symbol jewelry) and part LipstickLesbian (appropriately, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin lipstick]]). |
| 522 | ** More recently, main character Penny is a Lipstick Bisexual, while the other main character (and her girlfriend) Aggie is a lesbian but [[GranolaGirl too much of a hipster]] to really count as 'Lipstick'. |
| 523 | %%* Araceli from ''Webcomic/OutThere''. |
| 524 | * Adharia Kuvoe of ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt''. Nobody could tell until she gave Jigsaw that kiss. |
| 525 | * ''WebComic/PrincessPrincess'': Sadie is long-haired and always wears dresses, acting in the most feminine way. Over the course of the story, she falls for Amira. They get married at the end. |
| 526 | * ''Webcomic/TheQueenAndTheWoodborn'': Danica is a demure, elegant queen who's attracted by the goddess Marana and enters a [[DivineDate relationship with her]]. She always wears her hair long and has on dresses, as does Marana (who is a bit more menacing, but still feminine). |
| 527 | * Undine Wells from ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'' is a magical girl with a feminine appearance, wearing a dress and having wavy curls for hair, [[WaterIsWomanly association with water]], and a demure, ladylike personality. She later enters a romantic relationship with her more tomboyish, female partner Heartful Punch. |
| 528 | * ''{{Webcomic/Spinnerette}}'': Mecha Maid and Sara Nicole Megan, especially the latter. Both of them have long hair and wear traditionally feminine clothing, showing no signs of their sexual orientation before it's revealed (Sara Nicole is [[InternalizedCategorism in denial]] about it too). |
| 529 | %%* In ''Webcomic/{{Sunstone}}'' Lisa and Ally become these and [[spoiler: Valerie, who criticized Lisa for having a girlfriend, is revealed to be this.]] |
| 530 | * ''Webcomic/TheirStory'' is about a tomboyish girl who falls for a cute girl from a neighboring school. The two protagonists are a ButchLesbian and a LipstickLesbian duo, and though they aren't dating currently it's a ForegoneConclusion. |
| 531 | * ''Webcomic/ThisIsShe'': Applies to both Mavis and Jean, especially Mavis - both women are pretty feminine in their own rights, but Mavis' motherly personality is highlighted both by Jean and the narrative. Mavis and Jean are also both lesbians, and fall in love with each other. |
| 532 | %%* ''Webcomic/WasteOfTime'' has Scarlett. |
| 533 | [[/folder]] |
| 534 | |
| 535 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 536 | %%* Tatjana from the ''Literature/ChaosTimeline''. |
| 537 | %%* ''Literature/DecadesOfDarkness'' has Julia Gordon. And [[spoiler:First Lady Anna Mitchell, which causes a scandal in Columbia (the US capital) and prevents her husband from reelected for a third term.]] |
| 538 | * ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': Bugs (Bunny Cormick) is regarded as one of the hottest girls at a Superhero School, but is strictly lesbian. She's not the only such girl in Poe Cottage. |
| 539 | %%* Parian in ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', who is a fashion student and enters into a relationship with [[spoiler:Flechette/Foil.]] |
| 540 | [[/folder]] |
| 541 | |
| 542 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 543 | * Aster from ''WebVideo/AnyoneButMe''. Vivian is either this or a chapstick lesbian, depending on your perspective |
| 544 | * ''{{WebVideo/Carmilla}}'': |
| 545 | ** Laura's an average ordinary, college student who's feminine, a journalist and lesbian. |
| 546 | ** Carmilla's a feminine woman who's also a lesbian (plus [[LesbianVampire a vampire]]). |
| 547 | * Sloane in ''WebVideo/LastLife'' is a little of this. Taylor sort of counts too, though she’s more of a Lipstick Bisexual, since she did use to date Sloane’s previous male incarnation Rick, and she was trying to date Grey just before encountering Sloane. They're also not as femme as traditional examples. Although labelling their orientations might well be moot, in a sense, given that both Sloane and Taylor could easily have been any number of genders, any number of times, in previous lifetimes. [[spoiler:Their original identities are generally considered to be from opposite sexes.]] |
| 548 | ** In fact, in their interviews, Elesha Barnette and Kathy [=DiStefano=] have gone on record stating that if ''Last Life'' celebrated alternative relationships & lifestyles, it revolves around ''pansexuality'' more than anything, and to put specific labels (even LGBT ones) on the characters' orientations would be somewhat missing the point; anyone can choose to love whomever they wish, as long as they're meant to be for each other. |
| 549 | ** In other words, ''Last Life'' can still be about gay & lesbian relationships, but this is secondary; it explores pansexuality and soulmates, regardless of label, first and foremost. |
| 550 | * ''WebVideo/OutWithDad'': Rose and Claire. They're lesbians with [[LongHairIsFeminine long hair]], traditionally feminine clothing and both also act indistinguishably from straight girls (aside from their sexual orientation, obviously). |
| 551 | [[/folder]] |
| 552 | |
| 553 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 554 | * Princess Bubblegum of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' wears her hair long, likes to wear long dresses, and, um, [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation is entirely]] {{pink|MeansFeminine}}. She also shares a ton of ShipTease with Marceline and by the series finale, [[spoiler:enters into a [[RelationshipUpgrade romantic relationship with her]]]]. |
| 555 | %%* Linda Memari of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' is possibly bisexual, but she seems to be far more interested in her neighbor Francine than in her husband. |
| 556 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'': One of Jeff's moms Sue is femme with [[ButchLesbian EJ]]. |
| 557 | * In ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'' episode "Jextra Perrestrial", J.P.'s sister Laura is dating another woman named Kat. Both of them are presented as feminine. |
| 558 | * ''WesternAnimation/DofusKerubsBazaar''; Simone and her virtually-confirmed girlfriend Julie are ''both'' this trope. |
| 559 | * In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', Meg poses as a lesbian to make friends and gets involved with a girl named [[PinkMeansFeminine Sarah]] who has long hair and a more feminine looking appearance than Meg. |
| 560 | * Discussed on an episode of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', where a subplot involved Hank's driver's license now saying he was a woman. Peggy's hairdresser commented that if they were a lesbian couple, Peggy would be a lipstick lesbian, which is [[VanityIsFeminine "the best kind"]]. |
| 561 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': [[spoiler: Asami]] is a lipstick bisexual -- even when she's in practical adventuring gear, she's always wearing makeup. In fact, she's probably the most feminine major character in the whole series. Her eventual girlfriend [[spoiler:Korra]] is more of a tomboy, but not quite enough to be considered outright butch. |
| 562 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' has Amity, a traditionally feminine girl who develops an intense crush on the tomboyish bisexual Luz over the course of the first season. |
| 563 | * Kirsten from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndSteveTheHappiestGayCoupleInAllTheWorld'', is intentionally the stereotypical LipstickLesbian. Ironically, some people ''still'' [[ViewerGenderConfusion mistake her for a man!]] |
| 564 | * ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': |
| 565 | ** Adora is a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example of this. She's rather tomboyish, but [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak is still shown to have feminine interests]], and wears dresses on several occasions, such as during the Princess Prom and [[spoiler:in her dream future]]. Also, when taking [[spoiler:her relationship with Catra into regard, [[MasculineFeminineGayCouple she's by far the more feminine of the two]]]]. |
| 566 | ** Scorpia is an interesting example. At first glance, she appears to be your standard ButchLesbian, but every time she engages in actual self-expression rather than simply wearing the standard Horde uniform (her habitual dark lipstick, the rejected ElegantGothicLolita dresses from ''Princess Prom'', the slinkier ensemble she eventually goes with), her style tends distinctly towards “goth femme.” |
| 567 | ** Her close friend [[spoiler:and eventual girlfriend]] Perfuma is more consistent with her femme aesthetic and provides a bright, flowery contrast to Scorpia's more gothic vibe. Also, if WordOfSaintPaul is anything to go off of, Perfuma provides a rare example in media of a UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} lesbian. |
| 568 | * ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': As a side note, in general, [[DiscountLesbians Gems are actually genderless]] despite going with she/her pronouns. |
| 569 | ** Sapphire, the composed, sweet, gentle Gem, who is in a committed relationship with [[ButchLesbian Ruby]]. |
| 570 | ** Likewise for Pearl, who's also of the discount type. She's [[LadyOfWar graceful]], acts [[TeamMom motherly]] to Steven, wears a [[TutuFancy ballerina-inspired outfit]], and she had a complicated one-sided love for Rose Quartz. Her [[WhatCouldHaveBeen prototypical designs]] were slightly less [[{{bifauxnen}} feminine]] (in particular the one used in the pilot) however her personality characterized her as [[CharacterizationMarchesOn far more of a jerk]]. As of the season 4 episode "Last One Out of Beach City", she's scored the Mystery Girl's phone number and was obviously attracted to her. |
| 571 | ** Pink Pearl, AKA "Volleyball", is one of the more girly Pearls we've seen, and, as our Pearl puts it, she's "still got it bad" for Pink Diamond. |
