10->''"That's right, I'm a princess''\
11''Wrapped in pink frills."''
12-->-- '''Ichigo''', ''Manga/SeiyusLife'' opening theme
13
14In fiction, odds are that royal princesses will have a [[pink:pink]] dress or outfit [[ErmineCapeEffect she wears most of the time]], or at least prominently. It could be anything from a [[ModestRoyalty simple frock]] to a PimpedOutDress.
15
16Some parameters for this trope:
17* If the pink is barely noticeable on the outfit, it doesn't count. A significant part of it has to be pink. It could be the skirt or the bodice is almost all pink, or there is a lot of pink trimming on almost every part.
18* Pink hair and makeup alone don't count (they can be included though).
19* Jewelry can count, as long as it's obvious that it's pink, without requiring a closeup.
20* It has to be an actual princess to fit this trope, by birth, marriage, adoption, etc.. This can include [[PrincessPhase fantasies of being a princess]] (as long as [[ImagineSpot we see the fantasy]]) or someone playing one in a show, play, or something else. If it's just a woman or girl in a lovely pink dress, with no mention of royalty it's PinkMeansFeminine.
21
22The probability for wearing pink gets higher for a PrincessClassic, and lower for a LadyOfWar or [[DaddysLittleVillain an evil princess]]. Also a WinterRoyalLady wouldn't wear pink as a princess, since that's obviously not a winter color. Many princess-related toys will likely be pink as part of the PinkProductPloy. If the princess that prefers pink is also a PrettyPrincessPowerhouse then you've got yourself a GirlyBruiser.
23
24As a little point of interest, it should be noted that [[NewerThanTheyThink real life princesses of old were more likely to wear blue]]. This was because pink was considered a masculine colour until after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, due to it being a shade of red.

31!!Examples:
32[[foldercontrol]]
33
34[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
35* ''Anime/CodeGeass'':
36** Princesses Cornelia and Euphemia both tend to wear pink. Also they both have hair in different shades of pink.
37** Their half-sister Nunnally also has a (very) pink dress, even when she was living as a civilian.
38* In ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', Mimi wears a pink dress when she is [[ExploitedTrope posing as a princess]] for a Gekomon kingdom. And so does Palmon!
39* Princess Millhiore F. Biscotti of ''Anime/DogDays''. Her hair is pink. Her eyes are pink. Her [[LittleBitBeastly ears and tail]] are pink. Naturally, her dress is pink. She's pinker than the color pink itself.
40* May Chang from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' is a a Xingese princess and wears a mainly pink outfit.
41* Most of the princesses and other leading ladies in ''Anime/GrimmsFairyTaleClassics'' have at least some pink in their outfits. It's easier to list the exceptions: Snow White from "Snow White and Rose Red" (in her case it's because Rose Red is already wearing pink), Lisbeth from "The Magic Heart", and the princess from "The Iron Stove", who all wear green, and Allerleirauh from "The Coat of Many Colours", who has purple, yellow, blue, white, and red dresses, but not pink.
42* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'':
43** Lacus Clyne is nicknamed "Pink Princess" in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' for her clothing habits. Her flagship, the Eternal, is colored pink.
44** Also applies to some of the mechas in ''Gundam SEED'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'': Cagalli Yula Attha (sort of princess of Orb)'s Strike Rouge is the Strike Gundam colored pink, and Meer Campbell's (Lacus's double) pink ZAKU, called "Zaku Warrior Live Concert Version", though it was only used as a stage prop for one of her concerts, and she never pilots it herself.
45** Princess Relena Peacecraft from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' wears pink somewhat often but the [[YaoiFangirl crowd]] that [[DieForOurShip doesn't like her]] tends to [[RealWomenDontWearDresses treat this like a bad thing]].
46** The standard female outfit of the Earth Federation in the original Anime/MobileSuitGundam is pink. One of the girls wearing said outfit, [[spoiler:Sayla Mass]], happens to be a princess(Sorta, considering [[spoiler:the Zabi family userping Zeon and everything]].
47* ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh'': Wolfram, [[GenderInvertedTrope the son of the former Demon Lord]]. That pink, frilly nightgown seems to be a major favorite of his.
48* ''Anime/LaSeineNoHoshi'': [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Marie Antoinette]] is a French aristocrat and she usually wears pink clothing with white highlights.
49* Rare Eastern-stylized example: Konoka from ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' during her princess moments often wears a pink ''kimono''.
50* Lucia, the pink-clad princess main character of ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch''.
51* ''Anime/PrettyCure'':
52** Actually averted with Ako Shirabe/Cure Muse of ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'' and Hime Shirayuki/Cure Princess of ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'' as they go with gold and blue respectively. Hikari Kujou/Shiny Luminous of ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureMaxHeart'' is hard to actually say, really, due to her circumstances.
53** Played straight with Haruka Haruno in ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure''; while she's technically not a princess, she is a part of the Princess Pretty Cure team and is taking princess lessons. And yes, as a Pretty Cure main character, her Cure costume is very, very pink. In contrast, actual princess Towa Akagi has [[RoseHairedSweetie bright pink hair]] as Cure Scarlet.
54** In ''Anime/DeliciousPartyPrettyCure'', as part of her being an IdenticalStranger to Yui, Princess Isuki wears a pink gown.
55** In ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure'', the princess of Sky Land, Elle, wears a pink dress.
56* ''Anime/ProjectAKo'': Even though she doesn't live as one, C-ko is an alien princess who wears pink often.
57%%Needs more context.* The princess of the low budget Korean ''Anime/MazingerZ'' knock-off ''ProtectorsOfUniverse'' (sic).
58* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'':
59** It's generally assumed that while Usagi's image is associated with silver and white, all of her powers in the [[Anime/SailorMoon first anime]] result in huge pink blasts of light (if they aren't moon-shaped or rainbows), including her transformation sequences up until Eternal -- she's pink on the inside.
60** Chibi-Usa wears a pink sailor senshi costume and has pink hair. As the daughter of the future queen, she's by definition a princess. Her princess dress in the first anime is white and identical to her mother's, but the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]] has her break away from her mother and fall into this trope, with a pink cherry-blossom-evoking dress instead.
61* {{Invoked|Trope}} in ''Manga/SeiyusLife''. Ichigo Moesaki pretends that she's a princess from the Strawberry Planet. As such, all of her non-work outfits are pink.
62* In ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'', Princess Amelia's most often-worn dress for diplomatic duties is a frilly pink one, and she's seen wearing it in several episodes of the anime and in supplementary materials. Her regular traveling outfit also has pink touches on it.
63* Subverted in ''Manga/SleepyPrincessInTheDemonCastle''. The princess spends most of the series in a pink outfit, but those are just her pajamas. Whenever she's actually acting as a princess instead of a hostage she switches over to a black dress.
64* Nia Teppelin from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' starts wearing a pink, princess-y dress with golden shoulder armor, then goes on to have a pink hoodie, and a pink, one piece dress after the timeskip.
65* Fine, one of the two titular princesses of ''Anime/TwinPrincessOfWonderPlanet'', wears a pink gown.
66* ''Anime/{{Voltron}}''/''Anime/GoLion'':
67** Princess Allura/Fala, whether it's her [[PimpedOutDress grand dress]], jumpsuit, swim suit, or pilot uniform. She wears blue in the sequels, however, to match her Lion.
68** Amue wears a pink MiniDressOfPower in the climactic battle.
69[[/folder]]

71[[folder:Asian Animation]]
72* ''Animation/BreadBarbershop'': Cake Princess is primarily pink in color.
73* In the ''VideoGame/MolesWorld'' animated series, one of the main characters is a princess named Momo whose signature dress is pink.
74[[/folder]]
75
76[[folder:Board Games]]
77* Aside from the Disney-branded versions, most versions of ''Pretty Pretty Princess'' show a princess wearing pink. And yes, the ''Sleeping Beauty'' version shows the pink dress.
78* Some versions of ''TabletopGame/CandyLand'' depict Princess Lolly as wearing pink; even the ones that don't almost always show her as having pink ''hair''.
79[[/folder]]
80
81[[folder:Card Games]]
82* Dragon Shield, a line of protective sleeves for gaming cards, invokes this on the packaging for their Matte Pink-colored sleeves. The pink dragon on the box wears a tiara, and according to the back of the box, she's secretly [[ForcedTransformation a princess transformed into a dragon]].
83[[/folder]]
84
85[[folder:Comic Books]]
86* In ''ComicBook/WonderWomanAndTheStarRiders'' Franchise/WonderWoman, Amazon princess, switches out all the parts of her costume that are normally red for magenta, adds a matching cape and rides a matching winged unicorn whose wings, mane and tail are cotton candy pink.
87[[/folder]]
88
89[[folder:Fan Works]]
90* Princess Lotora from [[http://fanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Hottie_3:_The_Best_Fan_Fic_in_the_World Hottie 3: The Best Fan Fic in the World]] is a villainous example.
91[[/folder]]
92
93[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
94* ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'': One of Aurora's fairy foster mothers, Flora, insists on making her princess dress pink and argues with Merryweather, who wants blue. The dress ends up blue for most of the movie, but in TheMerch for the Franchise/{{Disney Princess}}es, it's usually pink. This is most likely to distinguish her from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'', another blonde with a blue iconic dress. (Cinderella's dress in the movie is white and silver, but blue worked better for the [[ColourCodedCharacters colour-coding]]). Many of the older fans prefer the blue it is for the majority of the movie. Occasionally it is colored purple in TheMerch, but that's unlikely to happen anymore with [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]] prancing around with a purple dress and long, blonde hair.
95-->'''Flora:''' Now, dear, we decided ''pink'' was her color.\
96'''Merryweather:''' ''You'' decided!
97* ''Franchise/TheLittleMermaid'':
98** ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'': Ariel wears [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ariel_pink_dress_9936.jpg a pink dress]]. She also has a pink nightgown.
99** Princess Melody wears a pink dress in ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIReturnToTheSea'' during a human style ball and her mermaid tail is a shade of pink.
100* One of Belle's dresses in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' is pink, the one that goes with the [[PrettyInMink fur-trimmed]] [[PimpedOutCape red cape]].
101* Even Giselle's dress in the Mucha-esque opening sequence of ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'', an AffectionateParody of Disney princess stories, is pink, and in the "real world," she does craft herself a pink dress.
102* Charlotte La Bouff, the princess-wannabe of ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' wears pink ''[[InvokedTrope because]]'' of this trope.
103* Rapunzel from ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' primarily wears a lavender dress as her main outfit, but at the end of the film, after realising her own [[ReallyRoyaltyReveal identity]], she wears a rose-pink dress.
104* Princess Irene, in the animated ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheGoblin'', wears a dark pink dress.
105* Maid Marian, in the animated ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'', wears a pink outfit [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple with lavender highlights]]. She's not technically identified as a princess, but in this version she is stated to be the King's niece, so it's more or less implied.
106* Princess Eilonwy from ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'' wears an outfit that features pink prominently.
107* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' and her [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/368008_1264809845773_full_4091.jpg very first ball gown]], made by mice and birds.
108* {{WesternAnimation/Anastasia}} is seen wearing pink pajamas after her reunion with her grandmother and reclaiming her title as princess. Her lavender dress during the "Paris Holds the Key to Your Heart" sequence also has a pink shoulder-bow, and her golden gown at the film's climax has pink accents.
109* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'':
110** {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Most of Princess Anna's outfits contain some pink accents, but all of them are primarily green or blue. As for prominent appearances of it, her winter cape and hat are magenta and her room is pink, but that's about it. The color most associated with her is green instead, and blue for her sister Elsa.
111** This trope gets mocked in the CutSong "We Know Better". The sisters as children list things that others say a princess "should" do and say that they subvert stereotypes.
112--->'''Elsa''': ''They say a princess wears pink and frilly clothes''\
113'''Elsa''': ''They say she never laughs and snorts milk out her nose''\
114'''Elsa''': ''They say she's calm, they say she's kind, they say she never speaks her mind, or freezes nanny's big behind''\
115'''Elsa''': ''But-- ''\
116'''Elsa & Anna''': ''You and me, we-- we know better.''
117** Throughout ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', Anna's color becomes more and more [[DarkIsNotEvil black]] as Elsa's color becomes more and more white.
118* In ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'', Princess [[spoiler: Vanellope von Schweetz]] wears a pink PimpedOutDress and drives a pink kart.
119[[/folder]]
120
121[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
122* After Buttercup becomes ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', she is seen wearing five different dresses, one of which is full-on pink; another is a sort of peachy-pink.
123* Paige, who gets engaged to a prince, wears a pink dress on the poster of ''Film/ThePrinceAndMe''.
124* It's probably no coincidence that Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret wear pink when they go out for VE Night in ''Film/ARoyalNightOut''.
125* ''Film/{{Descendants}}'': Audrey is a princess, and true to her motif, her main colors are pink and shades of blue. This doubles as a Mythology Gag, as these colors are associated with her mother Aurora.
126* ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries2RoyalEngagement'' Princess Mia wears a beautiful pink dress suit, as well as a pink sundress and pink flower-patterned pyjamas, as well as many other pink pieces of clothing.
127[[/folder]]
128
129[[folder:Literature]]
130* Princess Allriane Cett of ''Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy'' not only generally does wear pink, but emits such a powerful aura of princessey girliness that her clothes can appear to others to be pink... even when they're really not. Yup, she perception- and memory-warps. Even without burning metal.
131* ''Literature/JourneyToChaos'': Princess Kasile of Ataidar wears pink dresses when she is a princess. After she becomes queen, she moves on to other colors.
132* Juliet Henry, a.k.a the Pink Princess in the ''Literature/PerfectlyPrincess'' series lives and breathes this trope.
133* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' takes this cute baby seal of a trope [[AvertedTrope and clubs it]]. Hard. The people who really prefer to wear and/or stuff other people (like, say, Brienne of Tarth -- her house colors happen to be both coral pink and periwinkle blue, but she prefers the blue, [[{{Troll}} hence Roose forcing her into Bolton pink]]) in pink? [[ObviouslyEvil Are the Boltons]]. Neither Roose nor Ramsay are princesses. Actual princesses and high ladies? Wear whatever colours they prefer to wear.
134* Deliberately invoked as part of the uniform at ''Literature/TheSchoolForGoodAndEvil'', where the girls striving to become princesses in the School for Good wear pink dresses. Sophie, an aspiring princess, also wears a pink dress while in Gavaldon. However the true princess Agatha wears blue.
135[[/folder]]
136
137[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
138* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': The first glimpse we see of Princess Myrcella Baratheon in Season 5, she's wearing a resplendent, diaphanous pink gown.
139* In the ''Series/{{Nanalan}}'' episode "[[Recap/NanalanS1E9PlayDay Play Day]]", one of the costumes Mona wears is a pink princess dress, the presentation of which is presented via Nana's song "Who's That Wonderful Girl".
140* In Disney's ''Film/PrincessProtectionProgram'', the Princess requests a pink silk nightgown, and a pink gown she wears at one point is actually a plot point.
141* Franchise/PowerRangers:
142** Ahim de Famille in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' takes this a step further; she's a former princess who serves as this season's Pink Ranger.
143** She wouldn't be the first Pink Ranger Princess, though. Mei from ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' is the princess of the Risha tribe.
144* Princess on ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' wears a garish pink fun-fur jacket, in contrast to the more utilitarian clothes worn by the rest of the cast.
145[[/folder]]
146
147[[folder:Theme Parks]]
148* Princess Amoura in ''Theatre/TheEighthVoyageOfSindbad'' show at [[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal's Islands of Adventure]] wears an outfit that's mostly pink, with some traces of blue.
149[[/folder]]
150
151[[folder:Toys]]
152* Franchise/{{Barbie}} is largely an aversion to this when it comes to the dolls. Despite all the pink associated with her normally, when there is a ''princess'' doll, her clothes are rarely pink. The [[WesternAnimation/{{Barbie}} films]] are a different matter, though:
153** The Sugar Plum Princess from ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheNutcracker'' wears a pink ballet outfit, [[spoiler:and prior to discovering her true identity as the Princess, Clara goes through most of the film in a pink nightdress.]]
154** [[WesternAnimation/BarbieAsRapunzel Rapunzel]] wears a plain pink dress as Gothel's ward, while her princess dress is pink and purple.
155** In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieOfSwanLake'', Odette wears a light pink gown for her date with the Prince, and her "Swan Maiden" outfit has pink and blue feathers.
156** Anneliese, of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsThePrincessAndThePauper'' wears a pink dress. This pattern continues in Barbie's two other ''Literature/ThePrinceAndThePauper'' adaptions, with pink outfits for the princess characters in ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsThePrincessAndThePopstar'' and ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInRocknRoyals''.
157** Brietta in ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheMagicOfPegasus'' wears a pink dress in her human form, and of course, she's the titular pink pegasus for most of the film. Her sister Annika also has a few pink outfits, but the bulk of her merchandise focuses on her purple outfits.
158** In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheTwelveDancingPrincesses'', Genevieve and Fallon wear pink dresses, though Genevieve, as the protagonist, wears the traditional "Barbie" pink.
159** Ro's dress in ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsTheIslandPrincess'' is mostly blue, but has a pink overskirt, and the {{f|luffyFashionFeathers}}eathers on the [[PeacockGirl peacock tail]] are mostly pink.
160** In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'', Barbie's character Liana has a fuchsia dress after her princess upgrade.
161** In ''WesternAnimation/BarbiePrincessCharmSchool'' Blair Willows also known as Princess Sophia, the lost princess of Gardania, wears a pink [[CustomUniform uniform]]. She also wore a beautiful [[EverythingsBetterwithSparkles sparkly]], [[GemEncrusted bejeweled]] [[GorgeousGarmentGeneration princess]] [[PimpedOutDress gown]].
162** In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInAMermaidTale'', Merliah wears a pink swimsuit and manifests pink streaks in her hair and eventually a pink mermaid's tail as she discovers her true identity as a mer-princess.
163** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAFairySecret'': Princess Graciella has pink hair, pink wings, and pink in all of her outfits. She's also the rare villainous princess in pink.
164** When Lumina claims her destiny as the titular [[WesternAnimation/BarbieThePearlPrincess Pearl Princess]], her tail turns pink and pink streaks appear in her hair.
165** Princess Alexa of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor'' begins the film in yellow, but magically gains three different pink dresses over the course of her adventure on the other side of the secret door.
166** Kara in ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInPrincessPower'' has a casual pink dress, an elaborate pink ball gown, and a pink superhero outfit for fighting crime as Super Sparkle.
167** In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieStarLightAdventure'', the Princess Starlight wears a pink and silver gown with a very prominent pink streak in her hair, [[spoiler:and prior to her coronation as the Princess Starlight, Barbie spends most of the film in a pink space-faring suit.]]
168* While not ''officially'' a Princess (though she might as well be; she rules her country by birthright and.. um... hair right... and doesn't seem to have parents), ''WesternAnimation/LadyLovelyLocks'' is just about the most frilly pink girls' toy there was in the 80s. It was, in fact, her signature color, with her two handmaidens generally being characterized with blue and yellow, and the antagonist of her various stories, Duchess Ravenwaves, with purple.
169* In ''Toys/{{Lalaloopsy}}'', Jewel and Trinket Sparkles, who were sewn from a princess's dress, have pink hair, and wear pink dresses and pink shoes.
170* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'':
171** This trope is usually subverted. Despite the multitude of princess ponies, most are not pink colored. The only pink furred or pink haired ones from G1 to G3 are: Primrose, Moondust, Sunbeam, Dawn, Glittering Gem, Brilliant Bloom, Royal Pink, Morning Glory, Ivy, Twinklestar, Trixiebelle, and Fuchsia. If anything, white, purple, and blue are just as common with princesses if not more so.
172** Princess Celestia in the current ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' line is usually pink, although her character in the TV show is clearly white (albeit with a pale pink outline). This is apparently because Hasbro thinks girls will only buy the toy if it's pink. The [[PeripheryDemographic fandom]] was less than pleased, and it wasn't until a few years later that a white Celestia toy was released. Naturally, right around the same time, Princess Cadance, who ''is'' pink in the show, was introduced, so the toyline still has a pink princess.
173* Himespetchi of the ''Franchise/{{Tamagotchi}}'' franchise is a space princess whose signature outfit features quite a bit of pink and magenta on it.
174[[/folder]]
175
176[[folder:Video Games]]
177* Princess Peach from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' onward. Her clothes in ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' spinoffs are always pink. Her fire form in ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' is an exception. It's white and red like her sprite in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1''.
178* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
179** Princess Zelda wears a pink dress in ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'', something which is made more clear in the [[AllThereInTheManual instruction booklet]] than the game itself.
180** Her dress in some of the promo art for [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI the original]] was also pink, although its in-game color is whatever color Link is wearing.
181** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' Zelda's dress was mostly pink, and subsequent games in the series usually have her wear a gown with pink accents.
182** Zelda wears blue in the original release of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', as shown in the manual and promo art; the actual in-game sprite appears dressed in more of an off-white. However, her updated pink dress in the GBA remake is an exact copy of what she wore in the Japanese box art of the [[OlderThanTheyThink original SNES release]]. Just [[http://www.zeldawiki.org/File:Princess_Zelda_ALttP.png compare]] [[http://www.zeldawiki.org/File:Link_To_The_Past_Remake_-_Princess_Zelda.png them]].
183** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks'', being possessed by Zelda causes a Phantom to turn pinkish-grey, instead of its normal grey.
184** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'', this is played with: At first, Zelda is a regular citizen who just happens to wear pink, but she dons a white dress and brown, high-laced sandals when Link meets her again after TheReveal that she's [[spoiler: a GodInHumanForm]].
185** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'' is a distant sequel to ''A Link To The Past'' set several centuries later, with Zelda wearing a formal pink dress similar to what her predecessor wore in [=ALttP=]'s original box art and GBA remake. Her [[EvilCounterpart dark counterpart]] Hilda wears a purple dress.
186%%Needs context about the princess part.* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji|2016}}'' has [[spoiler: Kagura]] who wears a pink kimono.
187* For bonus points, ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' features both Peach ''and'' Zelda in their pink dresses (although the latter has it as an alternate costume since ''Brawl'').
188* The 16th main installment of the ''VideoGame/{{beatmania}} IIDX'' series is subtitled "Empress." It has a very, very pink user interface.
189* In ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'', [[spoiler:Amy’s]] bedroom contains a lot of pink.
190* Even in ''VideoGame/Persona4'', Yukiko's shadow is a pink-wearing princess.
191* Two out of three princesses in ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' wear pink. [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Estelle]] wears mostly pink, and even has [[RoseHairedSweetie pink hair]], while [[VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria Alisha]] has more white ih her clothes. [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss Natalia]] averts this trope, being associated with turquoise color instead.
192* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
193** The series has the ShowWithinAShow ''Pink Princess''.
194** The Princess of Khura'in in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'' wears a pink one-piece skirt. Over it she wears a white cloak.
195* The red team's ''VideoGame/FatPrincess'' prefers pink. The blue team's princess prefers baby blue.
196* Princess Kara of ''VideoGame/IllusionOfGaia'' wears a pink dress, [[spoiler:even after the world is restored and she's just a school student]].
197* Played with with [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Remilia Scarlet]] in ''Franchise/TouhouProject''; '''1.''' She's not a princess, however, there are several noble or royalty motifs to her (her theme is called "Septette For The Dead Princess/Queen", she is called [[RedBaron "The Queen/Empress Of The Night"]], she owns a mansion that is BiggerOnTheInside, has hundreds if not thousands of Fairy servants, often displays a remarkable, charismatic facade whenever she's not being a BrattyHalfPint in personality, and '''2.''' Her dresses ''used'' to be white. They became pink after she spilled enough blood on her dresses to stain them too much for them to ever become white again. This is because she has, surprisingly for such a powerful vampire, little appetite for blood and is also a messy eater. However, this quirk is responsible for spawning her ''other'', best known title: ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Scarlet Devil]].''
198* Alyssa from ''VideoGame/{{Gungnir}}'', otherwise known as Princess Alessandra Dlacroa, dresses mostly in pink and red and wields a giant lance covered in big pink roses.
199* One of the unlockable characters in ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'' is a Teensy Princess. Not only is her dress pink, but her ''crown'' is pink as well!
200* Rather amusingly, in ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'' Geralt is shown (and can later own) a painting of his surrogate daughter [[TomboyPrincess Ciri]] back when she was Princess of Cintra. Her dress is a wonderfully pretty thing, festooned with pink bows, and the four-year old Cirilla looks like she hates with ''every fibre of her being''.
201* Princess Sophia wears a dark pink gown, with black accents and (later) a white cape, all throughout the ''VideoGame/{{Awakening}}'' series. When she switches over to pants for more practical reasons, she still sports a dark pink top.
202* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', Krile's job class outfits tend to feature this color more prominently than the others (even PrincessClassic Lenna). Her knight's armor is ''completely'' pink, and the redrawn sprites from the mobile/Steam release have added pink in where it wasn't before.
203* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', there's Maribelle, who favors pink in her outfits, and even retains it in her War Cleric or Valkyrie promotions. However, she's merely a duchess ''unless'' she marries Chrom.
204* While her primary color is black (to emphasize the DarkIsNotEvil trope in play), Princess Elise of Nohr in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' has a significant amount of pink in her wardrobe too. Her retainer Effie has an all pink suit of armor, but only counts as this trope if she marries royals Leo, Xander, the male Avatar [[spoiler: or Odin]]. Likewise, Hana of Hoshido also primarily wears pink samurai armor, but only counts as this trope if she marries Hoshidan royals Ryoma, Takumi, or the male Avatar.
205* [[PrettyPrincessPowerhouse Princess Cookie]] from ''VideoGame/CookieRun'' wears a [[PimpedOutDress huge pink dress]].
206* ''[[https://darioventura.com/pitaya-1 Princess Pitaya]]'' wears a pink dress, pink shoes and a tiara with pink jewels.
207* ''VideoGame/YesYourGrace'': The PlayerCharacter is a King and his oldest daughter Lorsulia's usual dress is pink.
208* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'':
209** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestII'': In the original release, the Princess of Moonbrooke wore a pink robe and headwear, though it is a rather dark shade.
210** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'': Princess Nera's clothes are a fancy pink and purple dress.
211* Gender inverted in ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo''. The Ocean Prince is a pink-colored minnow; as a human, he has pink hair and wears a pink-and-white outfit.
212* ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'': Sweetheart doesn't seem to hold any title of nobility, but she does surround herself with every stereotypical symbol of fairytale aristocracy, and her preference for wearing pink things and having pink everywhere is beyond doubt. To further the point, one of the tasks you are asked to perform at her castle involves examining a long queue of Sprout Moles and removing every mole wearing a color other than pink.
213* ''VideoGame/{{Hiveswap}}'': Trizza Tethis, heiress to the Alternian throne, wears fuchsia as her primary color motif, as it is the color of her royal blood.

216[[folder:Web Animation]]
217* ''WebAnimation/TheLittlePainter'': Princess Creme Brule is seen wearing a pink dress.
218* ''WebAnimation/DingoDoodles'': Bouclair / "The Potato Girl" is a little girl in her PrincessPhase who is also ''very'' evil, after murdering her way (via poisoned potatoes) into getting adopted into a royal family and then killing the monarchs so she could be queen she demands her new country adopt an aggressively pink-and-glitter colour scheme and has anyone who objects executed.

222* ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'''s HRH Adharia doesn't just ''prefer'' pink, she ''is'' pink -- well, all the fur except her mane is, anyway. Her preferred color in clothing actually seems to be purple/lavender. Of course, given her fur, this may just be a way of avoiding pink overload.
223* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' has a pink-furred queen, who specifically says [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_145.php she does not need to get any pinker.]]
224* The aptly-named Princess from ''Webcomic/CastlevaniaRPG'' has a pink dress as her standard adventuring gear. This is lampshaded later in the comic when in a side panel she meets Princess Zelda (disguised as Sheik) and learns to transform into her other outfit (a green commando-esque outfit dubbed "Metal Gear Princess" by the creator) and back.
225-->'''Princess:''' I have this great pink dress...\
226'''Sheik:''' Of course you do. It comes with the territory.
227* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has Zola, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070427 who appears to be trying to deliberately invoke this trope]]. Even her airship is [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070507 pink]]... ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070511 very pink]]''. Doubles as a subversion since Zola is an impostor and the real princess doesn't wear pink. This rather [[BerserkButton pushed her into bouts of cold seething]] and inventing for "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090417 miss pinkie psycho pants]]" new epithets, each including the "pink" part. Even her DeathRay, both the gun and the actual ray, are pink.
228%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Silvia from ''Webcomic/GoldCoinComics''.
229%%Needs context about the pink part.* The Elven Princess from Xawu
230* Firmly {{averted|Trope}}, possibly even {{inverted|Trope}} in ''Webcomic/TheFourth''. Princess Veronika never wears pink, she's a RedheadInGreen. Lord Skärva sets up a room in his castle for her since he kidnaps her quite a bit. Her reaction to being locked in it is [[http://thefourthcomic.com/?comic=a-little-birdie-told-her "Ugh. So much pink"]]. Hard to say if she hates all pink or if it's because, in this case, Lord Skärva went overboard.
231* Before {{b|reakTheCutie}}ecoming [[RebelliousPrincess what she is today]], Ame from ''Webcomic/HeartCore'' wore a pink dress that suited her hair nicely.
232%%Needs context for the princess part.* Carnation from ''Webcomic/LsEmpire'' appears to wear a pink dress (WordOfGod says that it's actually her skin) and her mind control powers are depicted as pink energy. Even her name is a traditionally pink flower.
233* The highest caste of trolls from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has fuchsia blood, including the heiresses.

236[[folder:Western Animation]]
237* The princess from ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsAdventureInWonderland'' has a pink dress (save for purple trim and [[SymbolMotifClothing several white hearts]]), and [[RequisiteRoyalRegalia pink cape]] (save for [[PrettyInMink white ermine trim]] and a red heart clasp).
238* Aelita of ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' is often argued to be the "princess" of Lyoko, to the extent of it being her official nickname. And she does have quite a thing for pink. To the point of having a pink cell phone and a pink laptop. Oh, and ''pink hair''.
239* Princess Peregrine of the ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'' episode "Royal Twist" wears a pink dress.
240* While both princesses who appear in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Yue and Azula, avert this (Yue wears purple and Azula wears the standard fire nation red, black, and gold), [[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEmberIslandPlayers the Ember Island Players]] rendition plays it straight for both of them.
241* [[EmperorScientist Princess Bubblegum]] from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' is actually [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin part human, part bubble-gum]], so not only is her dress pink, but ''everything'' is, right down to her skin and hair. {{Averted|Trope}}, however, with most of the other princesses.
242* Princess Lana on ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' wears a pink ensemble as her everyday outfit.
243* Zelda, in the AnimatedAdaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda1989'', normally averts this trope, as her day-to-day garments are mostly blue and brown; however, in the first episode, she's seen wearing a pink nightgown. In the water park episode, she wears a pink bathing suit. Spryte, the FairyCompanion who is also a princess, plays the trope ramrod straight and wears pink all the time.
244* Piggy, on ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'', lives and breathes this trope. Not only is her everyday outfit pink (as is she, being a pig), but whenever she plays "Princess Piggy" as part of the babies' big imagination project of the episode, she's decked out in full pink PrincessClassic costume. (The only princessy exception was the ''Franchise/StarWars'' spoof, in which she was dressed like Princess Leia).
245* Gwenevere on ''WesternAnimation/PrincessGwenevereAndTheJewelRiders'' wears pink armor.
246* Princess Paw Paw of the ''WesternAnimation/PawPawBears'' wears a pink outfit.
247* Princess Celestia in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' is a very light shade of pink, closer to white. More prominent in her toy versions. Averted by Princess Luna, whose color-scheme consists of blues and purples, and played straight by Princess Cadance (introduced in the Season 2 finale), whose body and part of her mane are both pink. Though Twilight Sparkle is mostly purple, her cutie mark, one of the streaks in her hair, magic and Element of Harmony are all colored magenta and she wears a coral pink dress upon her coronation.
248* Downplayed in an ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' episode, where Jubilee is telling a FairyTale with [[UniversalAdaptorCast many of the characters in the show]], including Scott as a prince and Jean as his princess, and she does wear some pink (but mostly purple).
249* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'': A [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fairy-tale_princess princess]] in [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nightmare_Planet Daniel's dream world]] wears a pink medieval-like outfit.
250* Princess Savina from the ''ComicBook/JohanAndPeewit'' episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' wears pink as part of her royal dress.
251* Ella from the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Pahkitew Island'' segment of season 5 wears a pink dress and is an AffectionateParody of fairy-tale princesses.
252* In ''WesternAnimation/HappyNessTheSecretOfTheLoch'', Happy Ness, the titular character and leader of the good Nessies, is bright pink in color. Of course, she's actually a queen, but it's downright close.
253* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Rupert}}'', Princess Tiara, the ruler of the Gemlins in "Rupert and the Crystal Kingdom", wears a dark pink outfit.
254* ''WesternAnimation/AroundTheWorldWithWillyFog'':
255** Princess Romy wears a pink-and-white sari in most of the episodes she appears in. She continues to wear pink in the sequel, in which she is married to Fog, but has adopted Western fashions.
256** Kahula, a Hawaiian princess Fog and his companions meet on their travels, wears a pink dress. [[note]]The episode in which she appears was written especially for the series and is not based on any events in [[Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays the original novel]].[[/note]]
257* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Ewoks}}'', Princess Kneesaa (the daughter of the Ewoks' chieftain) wears a pink cape.
258* Lola Loud from ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' dresses like a princess, complete with a pink dress, and [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience her representative color is pink]].
