15->''Wolf looked up at her, his eyes still bright. "An excellent choice, Pol," he said admiringly. "Blue has always been your best color."\
16"Do you like it?" she asked, holding out her arms and turning almost girlishly so that they all might see how fine she looked.''

19[[blue:Blue]] is a surprisingly common color to represent femininity. Thus a girl or woman wearing blue is a sign that she is fair and gentle.
20
21This could have started at least as far back as [[AncientGrome ancient Greece and Rome]], and why UsefulNotes/TheVirginMary is often depicted in [[HeavenlyBlue a blue robe]]. The logic was that [[BlueIsCalm blue symbolizes peace, serenity, kindness]], and other such aspects [[WomenAreDelicate that were considered]] [[ProperLady womanly virtues]]. (In the Mediterranean, it was also [[ColorCodedPatrician a sign of high rank]], as the [[RealLifeWritesThePlot dye/paint color had to come from indigo, woad, or lapis lazuli]] which must be imported from a great distance and was therefore quite expensive.) It also represents truth and purity, hence its association with children... and the reason why brides traditionally wore blue dresses (not white) to their weddings (still retained in OldNewBorrowedAndBlue).
22
23From the early to mid 20th century, some argued that blue should be the color for girls, and red should be the color for boys. Yet even though we ended up with PinkGirlBlueBoy after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, putting a woman in blue is still considered a sign of her femininity, if not as obvious as colors like [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] and [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple]].
24
25Blue has other meanings, such as sadness and loneliness. These can overlap with this trope (as in representing both femininity and sadness). Or that she is gentle (with blue representing peace and serenity). This can apply to any feminine woman at any age, some more than others, like a WinterRoyalLady.
26
27Also, blue is an ideal color for all skin tones, as human skin has a base color of {{orange|BlueContrast}}.
28
29Often overlaps with WaterIsWomanly.

64* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Lucy is introduced in a standard bluish outfit, complimenting the red waistcoat Natsu wears, though she's more feisty than most examples. Juvia also wears blue, initially to reflect her early characterization as a sad, gloomy girl loved by no one, though she also has some fiery moments and later brightens up altogether.
65* In ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', the ceremonial outfit for the Priestess of Seiryuu is blue. This is because [[TheFourGods Seiryuu's]] color is blue and his element is [[WaterIsBlue water]].
66* ''Anime/GoLion'': In contrast to the more action-oriented Princess Fala, who wore pink, her younger sister, Princess Amue, wore a blue dress while she was less active. Amue switched to a pink MinidressOfPower when she took an active role.
67* Mikuru Asahina from ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' has her moments, most notably when she reveals her true colors to Kyon during the SOS Brigade's first "Magical Mystery Patrol" in one of the "Melancholy" episodes and with her festival yukata in at least one Endless Eight episode.
68* ''Anime/HelloSandybell'': Almost all of [[AlphaBitch Kitty]] [[RichBitch Shearer]]'s clothes have some form of blue on them, whether they're her dark blue overalls over a green shirt, her blue fancy gown with a matching hat, or her all-white outfit with a blue cravat.

80* ''Anime/PrettyCure'': Blue is a common color for {{Magical Girl}}s of the series, and often the one dressed in blue would be associated with [[MakingASplash water]] and/or [[AnIcePerson ice]], with a [[AloofDarkHairedGirl matching personality]]. Blue Cures are traditionally a secondary partner for the pink-clad leader; it wouldn't be until ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure'' that a blue Cure took on the leader role.
81** This even applies in Curefics sometimes; [[Fanfic/FutariWaPrettyCureDragon Cure Fortune]] is one such Cure that comes to mind. Note that the [[Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure real Cure Fortune]] plays [[PurpleIsPowerful a different trope]].
82* ''Anime/PrincessDiana'' as a child often wore a blue sweater and a red shirt.
83* ''Anime/SailorMoon'':
84** Sailor Mercury is a demure ShrinkingViolet who often acts as TheHeart to her team - her hair and costume are blue. This is more pronounced in the [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon live action]] where the character receives a GirlinessUpgrade.
85** Notably, Sailor Neptune is color-coded with turquoise and blue. She is the LipstickLesbian in contrast to Sailor Uranus's butch. She's also a CulturedWarrior. Not to mention that her hair is blue too. Also references [[MakingASplash her elemental powers]].
86** Downplayed with Sailor Venus but still there. She's a GirlyBruiser who dreams of becoming an IdolSinger (and actually is one in [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon the live action]]). Although her signature colour is orange, she has a blue bow on her costume. And her Sailor V costume is coded with a blue skirt.
87* ''Anime/{{Shenmue}}'': Xiuying primarily wears this colour and possesses all the characteristics associated with the trope. Her being a temple master even fulfills what is normally considered a sign of high rank in Mediterranean cultures.
88* ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'': Minto Aizawa/Mew Mint's signature color is blue (both her hair and outfits are blue) and she's the most ladylike of the Mew Mews. She's also a ballet dancer and her main weapon is a bow and arrow, named the [=MinTome=] Arrow.
89* ''Anime/TwinPrincessOfWonderPlanet'': Rein is colour-coded as blue (compared to Fine who is coded as red) and has blue hair, blue eyes, a blue dress, blue acessories...
90* ''Literature/UndefeatedBahamutChronicle'': There is no way around it, blue is [[AmbiguouslyHuman Krulcifer Einfolk]]'s favorite color. All her dresses feature blue in some way, blue is used to identify her in advertisements, even her [[IcyBlueEyes eyes]] and [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow hair are blue.]]
91* ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'': Hikaru Makiba was feminine, gentle, and caring and wore a blue uniform. [[RedOniBlueOni By contrast]], [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl her best friend]] Maria was a tomboyish {{Tsundere}} and usually wore red or pink.
92* ''Anime/VoltesV'': Subverted with Katherine. Her [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katherine_from_voltes_v.png dress]] is mainly blue, but pink underneath. The dress' bodice has two pink laces that cover it's front. Her sleeve's ruffles and collar are also pink.
93* ''Anime/WhenMarnieWasThere'': Marnie favors wearing blue dresses. [[spoiler:Her style of dress could be {{foreshadowing}} to the fact she's [[DeadAllAlong not a modern-day child]]]]. She is a sweet, outgoing GirlyGirl in contrast to the shy and somewhat tomboyish Anna.
94* ''Franchise/YuGiOh'':
95** ''Anime/YuGiOh'':
96*** Anzu Masaki's Domino High school uniform is a combination of this and PinkMeansFeminine. Her coat is pink while her tie and skirt are blue.
97*** [[BlackMagicianGirl Black Magician Girl]] wears a blue outfit with pink accents.
98** ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': The Obelisk Blue girls uniform which consists of a white and blue top and blue skirt. In fact, all girls are in Obelisk Blue. Rei Saotome averts this by wearing the Osiris Red uniform despite actually belonging to the Blue dorm.
99** ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'': Rio Kaneshiro has dark blue hair and light blue bangs.
100** ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'': In her Avatar form, aptly named Blue Angel, Aoi Zaizen has blue hair and a white and blue outfit similar to that of a MagicalGirl. Her other two avatars, Blue Girl and Blue Maiden, continue the trend, but less magical in favor of more practical outfits.

102
103[[folder:Arts]]
104* ''Art/CirceInvidiosa'': The {{painting|s}} tells the story of a woman's jealousy and blue is the color scheme that permeates the composition. The enchantress Circe is wearing a blue dress, standing over a blue pool, and her love rival is also turning into a blue monster.

110* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': The Invisible Woman wears the blue uniform of the Fantastic Four and is very feminine.
111* ''ComicBook/HawkAndDove'': Originally averted, as Dove represented many traditionally feminine qualities and had a primarily blue suit, but was himself male. When the first Dove died, the trope was played straight by his female successor.
112* ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'': The blue-skinned Smurfette is [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only female Smurf in existence]] -- she was originally created by [[EvilSorcerer Gargamel]] with the purpose of infiltrating the Smurf village and destroy it by creating discord among the other (male) Smurfs destroy themselves. When she was caught and tried for her misdeeds, Smurfette decided she didn't want to be an evil minion of Gargamel anymore and repented, after which Papa Smurf used magic to turn her into a real Smurf.
113* ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' wears a blue costume, and has traditionally been depicted as a sweet, kind-hearted, upbeat, and beautiful woman.
114* ''ComicBook/XMen'': When Jean Grey first appeared in ''The X-Men'' #1, she was wearing a blue dress, jacket, and hat. She's worn many colors and costumes (mostly being associated [[RedheadInGreen with green]]), but blue has also been included (notably her gold and blue outfit in [[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries the 90s cartoon]].)
115[[/folder]]
116
117[[folder:Comic Strips]]
118* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'':
119** Lucy Van Pelt usually wears a blue dress, although she's typically ''anything'' but "fair and gentle". She likes to think of herself as beautiful and adorable, though.
120** Sally Brown, on the other hand, is a very fair and gentle character who wears a light blue dress. Though she wears pink in ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie''.
121[[/folder]]
122
123[[folder:Fan Works]]
124* In ''Fanfic/BeyondHeroes: Of Sunshine and Red Lyrium'', blue is noted to be the color most associated with [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII Bethany Hawke]], as she's partial to it in her wardrobe. Overlaps with BlueIsHeroic.
125* ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'': Many female characters in the setting wear and/or are associated with blue, though how feminine they are depends on the individual.
126** Blue Diadem, the {{Expy}} of [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Blue Diamond]], is heavily associated with blue, and of Silk Dawn's four oldest daughters, she is the most traditionally feminine. This turned out to be an enforced example -- due to embodying White Corona's cast-off guilt and sorrow, Blue Diadem was was groomed by [[AbusiveParents Silk Dawn]] to [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/932814645/5024111348 serve a more feminine role among her sisters]]. While she became demure and refined, she also became an emotionally toxic MoodSwinger who [[BystanderSyndrome stood by while her mother sadistically abused her other sisters]]. Following her own HeelFaceTurn and Silk Dawn's death, Blue Diadem [[TookALevelInCheerfulness became more cheerful and carefree]], and started branching out by wearing modern yet still feminine outfits.
127** Queen Krásná Tradice is a peacock-blue Deer-Draconequus goddess whose attire as Queen of her own hell-fief consists of blue royal Alvslog Deer robes and a druidic cloak with golden patterns. She's also traditionally feminine by Alvslog standards, though initially like many Alvslog females, she was [[ExtremeDoormat submissive]] to her male elders and [[BlindObedience slavishly loyal]] to her people's traditions. It's thanks to the emotional support from everyone who genuinely loved her that she's working on overcoming her bigoted upbringing so she could oppose the harmful traditions that once poisoned her.
128* In the ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' fanfic ''Fanfic/WalkingInCircles'', Evelyn Trevelyan is a [[BlueBlood noble-born]] mage whose personality can be summed up as kind, protective, and motherly. Aside from being compared to flowers, Evelyn often wears blue to the point that when Solas needs to find her, he always looks for a blue robe and dark hair. In the Redcliffe future, Fen'Harel dresses her in a blue nightgown before seeking her out in the night, and his murals depict her in blue. Evelyn's personality later changes to a more negative interpretation of this trope, with her being engulfed in sadness and even icy ruthlessness as she becomes [[UnholyMatrimony Solas's partner]] [[spoiler: in his plan for changing (a.k.a destroying) the current world]].
129[[/folder]]

131[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
132* In the first installment of ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail''. Tanya's dress (which looks very similar to Snow White's dress) has a blue bodice and sleeves, paired with a yellow skirt and a [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] babushka.
133* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', the titular character's GirlinessUpgrade is completed when she changes from her ragged yellow cossack tunic into a light blue dress Dimitri bought for her. From then on she frequently wears blue or blue-trimmed outfits: blue pajamas during the sea voyage, a blue-trimmed white sailor dress in her DreamSequence, a short blue dress through part of "Paris Holds the Key to Your Heart," a dark blue evening gown to the ballet, and a blue sash with her golden gown at the climax. Even before her makeover, she [[ImagineSpot imagines herself]] wearing a blue sash and hair ribbon with her yellow ballgown during "Once Upon a December," and wears a blue costume as a child at the party in the prologue. Blue and yellow are effectively her two signature colors.
134* Princess Kida of ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' plays with this. She does indeed wear blue throughout the whole movie, and switches to a darker shade of blue at the end [[spoiler: when she is crowned Queen]]. But then again Kida is a TomboyPrincess and all the other Atlanteans wear blue as well.
135* Several outfits {{Franchise/Barbie}} has worn have been blue, as well as several characters in the DirectToVideo movies. Ro's standout dress in ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsTheIslandPrincess'' is mostly blue, including part of the [[FluffyFashionFeathers feathers]] on the [[PeacockGirl peacock tail]].
136* The princess in ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsAdventureInWonderland'' has a light blue dress, though she's never seen wearing it (it's worn by Alice in training to impersonate her).
137* Sally Carrera from ''Franchise/{{Cars}}'' is portrayed as a light blue Porsche 911 Carrera. Other female blue cars include [[ViewerGenderConfusion a racecar sponsoring RevNGo]] and the Queen of England.
138* This is perhaps the most common dress color for the Franchise/{{Disney Princess}}es, even more than pink. The first three involve blue in their {{Pimped Out Dress}}es, while later ones more often use them in their non-fancy dresses.
139** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', Jasmine's main outfit is turquoise, a greenish shade of blue, accompanied by a blue jeweled headband.
140** Belle's simple blue dress and white apron in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' is perhaps the most familiar of her outfits aside from her golden ballroom gown.
141** ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'': Invoked. Elinor, who resents Merida's tomboyish nature and wishes for her to be more ladylike, puts her in a tight turquoise silk dress as part of her royal attire before and during the contest. Merida doesn't take it well, preferring her darker and less restrictive dark blue dress. The end of the movie sees both of them in a dress of a similar shade, indicating that they've both accepted their differences and similarities.
142** WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'s dress is only blue in products from the "Disney Princess" line. The dress is supposed to be silver (although the glass slippers were always blue-tinted), but DigitalDestruction caused her dress to become silvery-blue, a problem that still exists in the blu-ray release[[note]]Along with her hair, which is supposed to strawberry-blonde, but is pure blonde in the aforementioned "Disney Princess" products, as well as both the DVD and the aforementioned blu-ray version[[/note]]. However, her nightgown is definitely blue, her servant dress has turquoise sleeves, and with it she wears a blue ribbon in her hair. Her sweet and kindly FairyGodmother also wears a blue dress.
143** ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'' uses blue as the series iconic color, in contrast to the Disney Princess line using a PinkProductPloy.
144*** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'', Queen Elsa pretty much wears exclusively blue dresses, from the nightgown when we first see her as a young girl, to her teal coronation dress, to her ice-blue snow queen dress. This symbolizes many things, from her loneliness growing up, to her being more reserved compared to her sister, though she only becomes slightly less reserved once she opens up herself. Mostly the blue is because she's AnIcePerson.
145*** Though Elsa makes a green dress in ''WesternAnimation/FrozenFever'', as it's her sister's birthday, in ''WesternAnimation/OlafsFrozenAdventure'' she wears a dark blue HappyHolidaysDress, that nicely contrasts the [[SymbolMotifClothing silver snowflake designs]] and [[PrettyInMink white fur trim]] on her neckline.
146*** Princess Anna is mostly a RedheadInGreen, but she swaps her greens for a blue [[StylishProtectionGear winter dress]] (paired with [[PrincessesPreferPink a pink cape and hat]]) from Wandering Oaken's Trading Post & Sauna and spends most of the remainder of the first movie in that. Turquoise-blue also the most prominent color in her ''Frozen Fever'' birthday outfit. In addition, ''Olaf's Frozen Adventure'' depicts her wearing a light blue dress for the holidays.
147** In ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'', Ariel wears a blue ribbon in her hair and a dress that is no less than ''three'' different shades of blue in the scene where Eric gives her a tour of his kingdom. Her dress at the end when [[spoiler:Triton grants her wish]] and she emerges from the sea is a shimmering silvery-blue number.
148** The dress WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} wore to infiltrate the invaded palace, disguised as a courtesan. Chien-Po also wears a blue dress when he, Yao, and Ling disguise themselves as women.
149** Tiana briefly borrows a fancy blue dress in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog''. On a side note, since it took place in TheRoaringTwenties, that color would have been seen as more feminine than the rest of [[PrincessesPreferPink Charlotte's wardrobe]].
150** ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' played with this by making two of the fairies have a [[Administrivia/EditWar bit of a war]] over the color of Aurora's dress. It is blue for most of the movie, including the iconic kiss, despite being pink in merchandising.
151** WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|And The Seven Dwarfs}}'s dress has a blue bodice and sleeves, though the skirt is yellow and the sleeves are accented with red.
152** Lady from ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' was given a blue collar. Her owner's son has an extremely pink wardrobe so the colors are probably used in the older "Blue=Feminine, Pink=Masculine" way.
153** The Blue Fairy from ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' is dressed in blue.
154** In ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', Anita is usually seen wearing blue. Perdita, like Lady, wears a blue collar. In the animated movie, all her daughters have blue collars (In the live-action film, the boys have blue, and it's mixed up in the TV show). In the series, Cadpig and Two-Tone both wear blue collars.
155** In an inversion of PinkGirlBlueBoy, Wendy Moira Angela Darling from ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' is portrayed as wearing a long, blue nightgown with a blue hair ribbon, while her youngest brother Michael is portrayed as wearing pink footie pajamas.
156** Miss Kitty's (a female dancer/showgirl mouse) showgirl outfit in ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'' is blue.
157** ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' has Alice wear a blue dress throughout the film, which suits her character as a refined, feminine Victorian girl. Her older sister, who seems to be very much a ProperLady, also wears a blue-trimmed bonnet with her otherwise [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple]] outfit.
158** In ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany,'' SpoiledSweet Jenny Foxworth is first seen wearing a blue school uniform, and her signature outfit consists of a light blue turtleneck dress, with dark blue leggings.
159** Averted with {{WesternAnimation/Moana}}.
160* TheIngenue Thumbelina from ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina|1994}}'' primarily wears a dress with a blue skirt.
161* Tzipporah in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'' sports a teal gown tied with a sky-blue belt.
162[[/folder]]
163
164[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
165* Debbie, the sweet "it girl" in ''Film/AmericanGraffiti'' wears a blue dress, with a matching hairbow and pair of shoes throughout the film.
166** Likewise in the sequel, Eva (the beautiful Icelandic girl) wears a teal top and a dark blue skirt, which match her blue eyes.
167* Pauline - the most beautiful, charismatic and feminine of the Fossil sisters - wears a glamorous gown of royal blue to her film premiere in the 2007 film of ''Literature/BalletShoes''. She's played by Emma Watson, which is hilarious if one looks at the ''Harry Potter'' example below.
168* In ''Film/{{Beauty and the Beast 2014}}'', Belle wears a deep blue dress for her dance with the Beast.
169* ''Film/Bedazzled2000'': Elliot claims that his love interest Allison looks particularly good whenever she wears blue. Most of her costumes throughout his wishes are either primarily blue or have blue accents. This also has the added bonus of contrasting her with the Devil, the other woman Elliot frequently interacts with, who dresses in either [[LadyInRed red]] or black.
170* Literature/BridgetJones is gentle-hearted and very girly, along with favoring blue in her wardrobe, which is likely chosen to [[WhatBeautifulEyes match her eyes]].
171* In ''Film/{{Cinderella 2015}}'', Ella is color-coded with soft blues to emphasise her nurturing femininity. The beautiful dress she wears for the ball is of course blue as well. This is in stark contrast to the bold and loud colours her stepfamily wear. Her stepmother is occasionally shown wearing bold blue dresses, which makes perfect sense once it's revealed [[spoiler: she was once similar to Ella, marrying for love and becoming bitter and cynical after her husband died - effectively making her a {{Foil}} for her stepdaughter.]]
172* In ''Film/TheCourtJester'', Princess Gwendolyn wears a SimpleYetOpulent blue dress and a matching [[PimpedOutCape cape]] trimmed with [[PrettyInMink ermine]].
173* ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'': [[spoiler:In the ending, [[ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} Selina Kyle]] wears a blue dress, as opposed to the black dresses she wore in previous scenes. It is meant to symbolize that she has left the Catwoman identity behind and has started a peaceful new life [[OfficialCouple with]] [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]].]]
174* Averted in ''Film/DevilInABlueDress''. Daphne Monet is no innocent as the title makes clear, though whether she's a true FemmeFatale is debatable. She's certainly well aware of her attractiveness to men however and doesn't hesitate to use it to her advantage.
175* In ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'', Sloane, the kinder and gentler of the [[LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine two female leads]], wears blue and white.
176* ''Film/FrenchKiss'': Luc calls Kate a "goddess" when she wears an expensive blue dress to seduce her ex-fiancé Charlie.
177* Carreen O'Hara in ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' wears a light blue dress to the Wilkes' barbecue, which signifies that she is the most kind and gentle of the O'Hara sisters.
178* ''Film/TheKarateKid'': Ali first shown wearing a blue swimsuit on the beach at the start of the film. Then, she later wears a blue shirt when she goes on her first date with Daniel.
179* ''Film/TheKarateKidPartII'': Kumiko wears a blue kimono (with an ocean design), during her famous dance scene.
180* ''Film/TheLegendOfThe7GoldenVampires'': ActionGirl Mai Kwei wears a blue outfit and is very refined in a SilkHidingSteel way.
181* The ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' has a few examples;
182** SilkHidingSteel Frigga wears a blue silk dress in ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld.''
183** Pepper Potts wears a blue dress when SheCleansUpNicely at the party, where she shares her first dance with Tony.
184** Sharon Carter wears a lot of light blue shirts.
185** In ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', Liz Toomes wears quite a few blue tops and skirts.
186* In the film adaptation of ''Literature/TheOutsiders'', popular Soc girl Cherry Valance generally wears blue outfits, which signifies that she's one of the kinder and approachable one of the Soc gang.
187* In ''Film/PitchPerfect'', the Bellas' primary color is blue (the other being yellow and white). Their uniform is a navy blue flight-attendant like attire, while TheLeader's pitch pipe (which symbolizes her authority) is baby blue. This is to highlight their femininity and contrast with the all-male (and red-clad) Treblemakers.
188* ''Film/RomeoAndJuliet2013'': Romantic ingenue Juliet wears a pale blue dress at the ball. She wears a dress in a similar color during their elopement.
189* ''Film/RickiAndTheFlash'' has the titular Ricki donning a baby blue dress for her son's wedding. As she's a rock star who's usually seen in leather and jeans, she's a little uncomfortable at the change. But the dress marks her motherly side coming out a lot more, particularly as she reassures her depressed daughter Julie.
190* Yvaine chooses a blue gown when she boards Captain Shakespeare's ship in ''{{Film/Stardust}}'' and it also coincides with her and Tristan falling in love. She completes the image with a blue travelling cloak. Tristan's mother [[spoiler: Princess]] Una also wears a blue dress - she's much nicer and calmer than her brothers.
191* Kate Davies in ''Film/{{Valentine}}'' wears blue at turbo dating, Max's exhibition, first questioning session with Detective Vaughn and Dorothy Wheeler's party, this color associates with her kind and gentle personality.
192* ''Film/WonderWoman2017'': Diana wears a blue gown while infiltrating a gala to kill Ludendorff. She stole it from a German noblewoman.

195[[folder:Literature]]
196* The Maiden with Turquoise Hair/Blue Fairy from Carlo Collodi's ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'' is never specified in the text itself as wearing blue dresses, but colored illustrations and most adaptations give her that clothing to go along with her blue hair. It also helps that she's meant to be an expy of the Virgin Mary.
197* Alice's dress in ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' is never specified in the text as being blue, but at least one early colorized version of John Tenniel's original black-and-white illustrations made it blue, and blue it became in the popular imagination – probably because this trope makes blue seem especially well-suited to Alice's polite, refined nature. It's often the same color in adaptations too.
198* In the ''Literature/AubreyMaturin'' series, Diana Villiers is most frequently outfitted in shades of blue, symbolizing her sad and frustrating search for a man she can trust.
199* The Farival twins in ''Literature/TheAwakening'' are described as wearing the "Virgin's colors, blue and white, having been dedicated to the Blessed Virgin at their baptism".
200* ''Literature/TheBelgariad'': Polgara the Sorceress, when not wearing gray wool travel garbs, prefers blue reserved for special occasions. Blue is also the color of Aldur, the god who founded the order of sorcerers of which Polgara is a member, but she's been the epitome of style for much of the world for several thousand years, so her fashion sense has definitely rubbed off.
201* ''Literature/{{Chalion}}'': The Daughter's (or Lady of Spring's) color is blue, symbolizing youthful femininity, among other things.
202* In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'' has the Yule Ball, essentially the Hogwarts version of a HighSchoolDance. Hermione - who is best known for her bushy hair and no concern with her appearance - stuns everyone by pulling a SheCleansUpNicely. The image is completed with a dress in periwinkle blue - showing that Hermione does have a girly side to her. But this is only in the book, as the dress is [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] in the film.
203* Hilda from ''Literature/HildaAndRichie'' is also shown wearing a light blue dress complete with a hand fan when not wearing [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple a purple dress]]; she is shown in the story to be living in a luxurious mansion, displaying her wealthy ProperLady status.
204* In ''Literature/LittleWomen'', Amy is the March sister who most aspires to be a ProperLady, and her favorite color is blue.
205* ''Literature/SongAtDawn:'' When a lady wears blue it is consistently referred to as '(Virgin) Mary's color'. When the Arch Bishop sees [[IronLady Emerganda]] or Alienor wearing it he scoffs at the hypocrisy because (in his mind) they are anything but 'fair and gentle'.
206* ''Literature/TheseBrokenStars'': Tarver first sees Lilac wearing a ballgown in navy blue. At this time, unknown to him, she's essentially AloneInACrowd thanks to her [[CorruptCorporateExecutive father]] controlling her life, echoing the sad and lonely side of the trope. She's wearing the same colour, a dressing gown this time, in the final scene. This time she's fresh from standing up to her father and is free to openly be with the man she loves.
207* Dorothy Gale from ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'' (and in [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the film adaptation]]) wears a blue and white gingham dress. This becomes a plot point in the book: as blue is the Munchkin color and white is only worn by witches, the Munchkins initially mistake her for a [[MistakenForTerrorist witch]], but a good one who intends to be friends with the Munchkins, when her house comes out of nowhere and flattens the Wicked Witch of the East. She's an empathetic character who convinces all three of her TrueCompanions to pursue their dreams and goals, and is also a FriendToAllLivingThings – in short, a ladylike spirit, even if she is a farm girl.

210[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
211* Diana's main attributes in ''Series/AnneWithAnE'' are her beauty and her kindness, and she dresses almost exclusively in blue.
212* ''Series/{{Bridgerton}}'': Season 1's main heroine, Daphne Bridgerton, famously wears pastel blue that matches her graceful and suave traits. Season 2's, Kate Sharma, frequently wears teal that matches her bold and assertive traits.
213* In the ''Series/{{Charite}}'' hospital, the deaconesses wear uniformly dark blue dresses and the nurses wear light blue smocks with white aprons.
214* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', Clara Oswald, a companion who is introverted and lonely, but usually very compassionate and kind, is fond of wearing articles of clothing in various shades of blue. Given its sheer frequency throughout her entire run, it's probably her subconscious favourite colour. [[spoiler:Outside of the original Clara, this habit even extends to some of her time paradox spawned doubles in different eras, especially the Victorian governess one.]] Possibly a symbol of loss too, as she lost her mother in her teens, which affected her rather profoundly. She's also occasionally seen in a predominant red or green from time to time, reflecting other sides of her personality. When she wears blue, she's mostly quiet and thoughtful, green-clad Clara is an adventurer, pragmatist and tends to be crankier, and wearing red clothing often coincides with her showing a 'cheery romantic dreamer' streak.
215** Rose Tyler wears a blue jacket at the beginning of the "New Earth" story until she later gets possessed by Lady Cassandra, who later strips it off in order to expose Rose's [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple blouse underneath.]] These are considered to be Rose's most [[IconicOutfit Iconic Outfits]] by many fans. The blue represents Rose's caring, humble and gentle personality in contrast to Cassandra's darker, haughty and sultry character.
216* In ''Series/DowntonAbbey'', Lady Sybil Crawley (later Branson) has many blue outfits, possibly to represent her role as the youngest and most innocent of the family [[spoiler:and ultimately TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth]].
217* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
218** In Season 1, Sansa is seen wearing a romantic ice blue gown. In Season 6, she switches back to the mainly blue clothing like her mother used to do, which underlines her coming back to the North and the Northern ways.
219** Daenerys Targaryen starts to prominently wear a heavily-blue outfit starting in the show's third season.
220** Margaery Tyrell is often seen wearing blue in seasons 2 and 3.
221** Cersei Lannister has a few blue dresses in seasons 1 and 2 before she switches to reds and golds.
222* ''Series/JessicaJones2015'': Jessica's theme color is blue, with blue being very prevalent in a lot of her clothes. In ''Series/TheDefenders2017'', scenes focused on Jessica are shown with a blue filter.
223** Trish's wardrobe in ''The Defenders'' is primarily made of blues.
224* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'':
225** Bronwyn wears a dress that's a brilliant royal blue. She is very lady like and nurturing.
226** Galadriel wears a light blue dress in Numenor.
227* In ''Series/MadMen'' this is the beauty-focused and traditional Betty Draper Francis's favored color along with white, given how it highlights her Grace Kelly-esque beauty, Teutonic coloring (light skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes). Not only does it serve a purpose in highlighting her looks, it also highlights her role as housewife and mother.
228%% * Guinevere from ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'' has a number of pastel dresses, but in series four especially, she was frequently seen in pale blue.
229* Constance and Queen Anne from ''Series/TheMusketeers'' occasionally wear blue.
230* In ''Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation'', resident SixthRanger and [[TheSmurfettePrinciple sole girl of the team]] Venus de Milo wore a cyan (a shade of blue) mask. Which was a bit odd since the team already ''had'' a blue turtle, [[TheLeader Leonardo]], but the shades are different enough that it isn't too confusing.
231* On an episode of ''Series/{{QI}}'' discussing male/female dynamics and oddities Stephen brought up that the PinkGirlBlueBoy trope used to be reversed, as well as specific reasons why. The panelists seem quite stunned at just the sheer oddity of the reversal to the trope.
232-->'''Stephen:''' For a long while, the colors would be pink for a baby boy, and blue for a baby girl.\
233'''Jack Dee:''' How did they get it wrong for so long?
234* Prairie Dawn, Abby Cadabby, and Rosita from ''Series/SesameStreet''. The former two have pink skin and fur, respectively, but wear blue dresses, while the latter has light blue fur.
235* In the ''[[Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand Spartacus series]]'', Lucretia's body slaves seem to be required to be clad in blue, as seen with Melitta and Naevia. The other women in the show regularly dressed in blue as well.
236* Although most ''Franchise/SuperSentai''/''Franchise/PowerRangers'' Blue Rangers are male, the few times they are female, this comes into play. True to trope rules, when the female Ranger is blue it's of a considerably lighter and softer shade than her male counterparts (with the notable exceptions of the very first female blue ranger, ''Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman'''s Blue Dolphin, who was more or less the same color as the previous blue rangers and the blue ranger from ''Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger''/''Alien Rangers'' who wears a light cyan costume despite being male). Both canon female Blue Rangers, [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Tori]] and [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Madison]], are very feminine characters. In Tori's case, she's TheHeart and Madison is the GirlyGirl contrasted with her {{Tomboy}} sister Vida (who ironically is the {{Pink|MeansFeminine}} Ranger).
237* In ''Series/{{Westworld}}'', Dolores, the standard "girl-next-door" in Sweetwater, wears a blue dress.
238[[/folder]]
239
240[[folder:Music]]
241* Music/CrowdedHouse also has a song called "Into Temptation" in which a girl in a blue dress appears at his door.
242-->''You opened up your door\
243 I couldn't believe my luck\
244 You in your new blue dress\
245 Taking away my breath''
246* Music/DepecheMode has a song called "Blue Dress" about a seductress in blue.
247-->''Put it on\
248 And don't say a word\
249 Put it on\
250 The one that I prefer''
251* {{Music/Devin Millar}} has an animated girl character named Millicent. She wears a bright blue puffy-sleeved shirt and a dark blue skirt.
252* Music/{{Vocaloid}}: Hatsune Miku is the most well-known blue-color-scheme character (and [[SpotlightStealingSquad the most well-known overall]]). Of the female Crypton characters, her official personality is the most traditionally feminine, in contrast to [[{{Tomboy}} Rin (yellow)]], or the "cool" and mature Luka (pink) and Meiko (red). She is often used for songs that [[PlayingAgainstType do not fit the "gentle feminine girl"]] theme, but in these cases, any art associated with the song usually changes her coloring to something darker or redder.
253[[/folder]]
254
255[[folder:Music Videos]]
256* Music/MysterySkulls features Vivi in the animated music video for "Ghost". She is blue all over, and even her skin tone is a cool shade.
257* Music/TearsForFears: In the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZvPSpLxCg Mad World]]" music video, the young girl staring sadly at a candle is garbed in a blue dress.
258[[/folder]]
259
260[[folder:Myths & Religion]]
261* As mentioned above, UsefulNotes/TheVirginMary is often depicted dressed in blue. Another explanation for this convention is that medieval artists wanted to dress the Mother of God in the richest clothing they could think of, and ultramarine (which is made of ground-up lapis lazuli) was the most expensive dye. St. Peter is also usually shown dressed in blue, but usually a lighter shade (i.e. with little or no ultramarine in it) or in blue and orange-y yellow.
262[[/folder]]
263
264[[folder:Pinballs]]
265* DamselInDistress Miss Polly of ''Pinball/CactusCanyon'' wears a modest blue dress.
266[[/folder]]
267
268[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
269* Wrestling/AlexaBliss in her {{Face}} incarnation was a cute 'Fairy Princess' who loved sparkles - making her one of the most feminine of the NXT women. Almost all of her outfits were blue, as were the graphics in her titantron. She also had blue tips in her hair. Notably when she underwent a FaceHeelTurn, her costumes and hair became [[LadyInRed red]].
270* The Beauty Pair of [[Wrestling/AllJapanWomensProWrestling Zenjo]], the first breakout stars of joshi puroreso or the Japanese women's pro wrestling circuit, usually dressed in blue, when they weren't wearing black anyway, or blue with black stripes or black with blue stripes. Anyway, they were a fairly "feminine" pair by pro wrestling standards, almost as well known for their singing, dancing, and fashion as they were for their take downs and pins. As a result, wrestlers have since worn blue(or black) when expressing their femininity.
271* {{Wrestling/Bayley}}'s first recognisable outfit was a light shade of baby blue, to reflect her innocence as TheIngenue. While she eventually wore more colours, she frequently has plenty of blue on her gear as well.
272* When Wrestling/{{WSU}} became an all women's company, purple and blue became its primary colors, on the logo and the title belt plates, respectively. In this case, they symbolized bruising more than grace or peace. When Wrestling/{{CZW}} took over the promotion was increasingly signified by pink, however.
273[[/folder]]
274
275[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
276* In the Neighborhood of Make Believe of ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood,'' Henrietta Pussycat, the fashionable yet caring cat, sometimes wore a blue dress.
277[[/folder]]
278
279[[folder:Theatre]]
280* ''Theatre/AGentlemansGuideToLoveAndMurder'': [[TheIngenue Phoebe D'Ysquith]] is described by Monty as "noble and pious" and is an InnocentSoprano. Naturally, her wardrobe consists mostly of dresses in various shades of blue.
281* Dinah the Dining Car from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ''Theatre/StarlightExpress'' dons a blue dress, often with matching accessories.
282* Edward Albee's ''Tiny Alice'' has the OriginalCastPrecedent of Alice wearing blue. As theatre critic Otis L. Guernsey pointed out, though many people took this as symbolic, "nowhere does the ''Tiny Alice'' script specify that Miss Alice wear blue, though it does describe her boudoir as 'Feminine, but not frilly. Blues instead of pinks.'"
283* The iconic glittering "good witch" gown that Glinda ultimately wears in ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'' (at least in the original production and its replicas) is pale blue – a change both from ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'', where it's white, and [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the classic film]], where it's [[PinkMeansFeminine pink.]]
284[[/folder]]
285
286[[folder:Toys]]
287* In ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'', all the Matoran/Toa/Turaga of the Water element are female and blue colored. The female elements of Lightning and Psionics also have blue as their main color. This is solely averted with Orde, created by the Great Beings as the first Toa of Psionics. His first task was to soothe the savage Zyglak, but due to his temper, he only worsened matters. As a result, all subsequent Matoran and Toa of Psionics were made female because WomenAreWiser.
288* In ''Toys/RainbowHigh'', first wave character Skyler Bradshaw's signature color is blue, and she is also an aspiring [[TheFashionista fashion designer]].
289[[/folder]]
290
291[[folder:Video Games]]
292* Disciples of the exclusively-female Holy Water Palace in ''VideoGame/AgeOfWushu'' wear all-blue uniforms that pair nicely with their yin-based, water-themed, softness-damage martial arts.
293* In ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'', Elizabeth at first wears a blue skirt with a white shirt that has blue details. She then changes into a long blue skirt and blue shrug (which are a replica of clothes Lady Comstock wore who also is an example of this trope). Here the blue symbolizes sadness, peace, and isolation.
294* ''VideoGame/BodyBlows'': Azona is a blue-clad warrior woman who competes in the series' second tournament, ''Body Blows Galactic'', which pits fighters from various planets against each other to determine the greatest fighter in the universe. Worth noting that her choice of color for her attire is fitting within the context of this trope given that her, and Kai-Ti's, home planet, Feminon, has a matriarchal society.
295* ''VideoGame/BrawlStars'': Piper, the ([[SilkHidingSteel seemingly]]) dainty SouthernBelle, wears a blue dress. However, PinkMeansFeminine is also at play with her pink accessories.
296* ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' has Kasumi and Helena. The former's trademark outfit is a blue ninja tunic while the latter's outfits include a blue dress, a blue tailcoat, and a black-and-blue catsuit.
297* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'':
298** Josephine fits this trope, wearing a regal ensemble of blue and gold. She is a sweet ProperLady and skilled diplomat who gets along with just about everyone.
299** Empress Celene of Orlais is also only seen wearing a deep blue ballgown with gold accents. She is certainly regarded as a paragon of fashion, diplomacy, and elegance; however, unlike Josephine, she's not a particularly nice person.
300* Rinoa in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' wears a blue coat, and is perhaps the most feminine of the female player characters (aside from Selphie, who is more perky).
301* In ''Disney's VideoGame/GuiltyParty'', the matron Olivia Dickens wears [[SimpleYetOpulent a long blue evening dress]] as an ensemble with [[PrettyInMink her white fur coat]].
302* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'':
303** Elli from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon64'' is the granddaughter of Ellen from the first game. She is a gentle baker who wears a blue dress and apron. In all subsequent appearances, besides ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility'', she is based on her ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature'' appearance, who is now a nurse but keeps the same attire.
304** Muffy from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonAWonderfulLife'' switches from her red dress to a more conservative, light blue dress when you marry her in the Platform/Playstation2 version (''Special Edition''). She's the most stereotypically feminine of the bachelorettes, not really liking getting her hands dirty and wearing make-up.
305* Aqua from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep''. She has blue hair, matching blue eyes, wears blue in her outfit, and is [[LadyOfBlackMagic graceful]] [[LadyOfWar in battle]] and a motherly figure to the lost boys and Ventus.
306* While the many incarnations of ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda's'' titular Zelda have run a gamut of colors over the series, her ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'' incarnation dons a casual blue dress (though her princess attire is pink), and both her regal and traveling outfits in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]'' are predominantly blue (with the similarly blue {{Non Uniform Uniform}}s that Link and the other Champions wear stated in "The Champions' Ballad" to have been sewn by her). Furthermore, she is also the bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom in a lot of entries in the series, which is usually associated with blue.
307* [[NamesToTrustImmediately Amitie]] Florian of ''VideoGame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable: The Gears of Destiny'' generally wears blue clothes that reflect her kind and friendly demeanor. It also matches well with her sister's very [[PinkMeansFeminine pink motif]].
308* Sona from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' is a blue-haired, sweet and calm [[Main/CuteMute mute]] songstress whose beautiful blue dress covers her [[Main/ImpossibleHourglassFigure esbelt]] [[Main/ImpossiblyLowNeckline body]]. Her skillset revolves around helping allies by damaging, debuffing and stunning enemies while also healing, shielding and buffing allies, thanks to her [[Main/HarpOfFemininity etwahl]].
309* In ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'', Luna almost always wears a blue uniform while remaining into stereotypically girly things like plushies.
310* Kitana from ''VideoGame/MortalKombatII'' (and all subsequent appearances) wears blue, has from her very first appearance. The only times she hasn't has been in the film, where she wears a dark bluish/black outfit, and her Dark Empress skin from ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', which is also a blackish-navy blue color.
311* The Velvet Room attendants from the ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' series. They all dress in blue to match the room they reside in and as they are typically the opposite sex of the current protagonist, all but one are female.
312* Brionne and Primarina, Popplio's evolutions in ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' are very feminine and very blue Pokemon based on sirens/mermaids.
313* ''VideoGame/PotionPermit'':
314** Laura is an innocent little girl in a long blue dress.
315** Hannah, a [[TextileWorkIsFeminine fashion designer]], wears blue makeup and has blue streaks in her hair.
316* Rulue from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' sports a head of flowing blue hair, and her outfit typically has blue accents on it. She serves as the [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl girly-girl rival to tomboyish Arle]] and is identified by having a [[MonsterFangirl mad crush on]] {{Satan}}, despite him being more interested in Arle.
317* Yurika Kirishima of ''VideoGame/RivalSchools''' ''Project Justice'' wears a bright blue dress, and is [[{{Ojou}} very]] [[ElegantGothicLolita clearly]] the most feminine character in her series.
318* In ''VideoGame/ShiningInTheDarkness'', the bodice of Princess Jessa's dress is blue.
319* PosthumousCharacter Maria Robotnik from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' wore a blue dress, blue shoes, and a blue headband. She was a sweet, FriendToAllLivingThings ill girl who had a sibling-esque relationship with Shadow. It's possible that her blue attire is supposed to date her, as she died 50 years ago, though what this means in the series is unknown (her flashbacks are very technologically advanced compared to the real 1950s so it's unknown if the ''Sonic'' series takes place TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture or if their world is just advanced).
320* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
321** Chun-Li wears blue outfits as her main clothing in the games, particularly a blue UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}}.
322** R. Mika wears a bright teal blue wrestling outfit that shows a lot of skin especially her [[CleavageWindow breasts]] and [[MaleGaze buttocks]].
323* Rosalina from the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series primarily wears a SimpleYetOpulent cyan gown, which goes along with her elegant character.
324* Alisa Bosconovitch of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' wears an outfit with blue flowers and blue jewels.
325[[/folder]]
326
327[[folder:Visual Novels]]
328* In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', Saber [[spoiler:([[Myth/KingArthur Arturia Pendragon]])]] wears blue armor thus combining this trope with LadyOfWar.
329* ''VisualNovel/GalaxyAngel'': Mint Blancmanche has blue hair and wears a blue dress under her military uniform. She's a polite and well-mannered {{Ojou}}, and the most lady-like among the angels.
330[[/folder]]
331
332[[folder:Web Animation]]
333* ''WebAnimation/TheMostEpicStoryEverToldInAllOfHumanHistory'': [[PassionateSportsGirl Epically Avoids You]] is a feminine woman with the highest-pitched voice of the whole cast, and dressed entirely in blue.
334[[/folder]]
335
336[[folder:Web Comics]]
337* In ''Webcomic/AliceAndTheNightmare'', kind and quiet Edith wears blue and has blue as her Suit's colour.
338%% * The Dream Oracle from ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'' is head-to-toe blue.
339* Played with in ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''. Susan has black-blue hair and usually is seen in blue clothing when strips are colored. She's definitely ''feminine'', and the head of her school's feminist club, but demure doesn't factor in - ''withdrawn'', due to her various traumas, feels like the word to use. Or raging with a magic hammer in her hand.
340%% * Both Jade Harley and Jane Crocker from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' almost always wear blue, although Jade is more commonly associated with the color green.
341* The main character from ''Webcomic/InvinceaAndTheWarriorsFromHell'' has strong blue theming.
342%% * Jigsaw and Daisy's Team Andromeda uniforms in ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'' are this combined with stripes of RedIsHeroic, although that's admittedly as feminine as the outfit gets. In contrast, Team Corvus wears a darker navy blue.
343%%* ''WebComic/PrincessPrincess'': Sadie is usually drawn in a blue dress, and is a shy, kind girl.
344* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Undine is a MagicalGirl with blue hair and [[ColorCodedCharacters overall theming]] who is quite feminine, as evidenced by her ladylike fashion sense, demure personality, and [[WaterIsWomanly control over water]]. This forms a contrast with her partner Heartful Punch in both [[ColorContrast color]] and [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl personality]] -- in spite of her [[PinkMeansFeminine pink theming]] and [[HeartBeatDown heart-themed powers]], HP is an athletic, tomboyish brawler to the core.
345%% * Yihwa Yeon's outfit in ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' consists of a royal blue sweater and some shorts over stockings. Mainly because fighting in a dress seems rather inconvenient. It also displays perfectly that all the females (aside from Nare and Miseng) are [[LadyOfWar asskickers first and women second]]. Maria, however, is truly blue feminine and a PrincessClassic, if one can believe Koon's twisted memories.
346[[/folder]]
347
348[[folder:Web Original]]
349* ''Literature/LoomingGaia'': Out of the three female Freelance Good Guys, the only one who doesn't have blue in her design most of the time is the masculine warrior Elska. Linde is TheFashionista and often wears blue to go with her ice magic, and Alaine has blue hair due to being a mermaid and often wears blue as well.
350[[/folder]]
351
352[[folder:Western Animation]]
353* ''WesternAnimation/BlinkyBill'': The clothes in [[MsFanservice Daisy Dingo's]] standard outfit (a knotted top, jeans, and high heels) are all coloured in different shades of blue (although they eventually gained a teal tint due to season 3's slight ArtEvolution).
354* ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'': In her youth as a debutante, [[Characters/BojackHorsemanBeatriceHorseman Beatrice Horseman]] wore a blue dress with white dots, along with a light blue cardigan sweater and navy blue high heels. She also wore light blue eyeshadow.
355%%* Sharon in ''WesternAnimation/{{Braceface}}''. She wears a light blue shirt and dark blue pants in the first season.
356* In the ''WesternAnimation/DudleyDoRight'' cartoons, Nell wears a blue dress. She is an innocent girl and frequent {{damsel in distress}}.
357* Sparkles in ''WebAnimation/TheGrosseryGang'' webseries is a light blue soda can, while also being the only girl of the team. While she's a bit more rough-and-tumble and sarcastic than most girls, she has the most tact and sympathy for others out of the gang as well, acting like a big sister to Egghead, while also being the grounding force to Pizza Face's riskier ventures.
358* Sarah Phillips from ''WesternAnimation/LibertysKids'' wears a dress composed of a white bodice with dark blue outlines on the collar and sleeve cuffs and a light blue skirt with dark blue lines surrounding a white triangular opening in front of the skirt.
359* Emily on ''WesternAnimation/LittleBear'' generally wears a blue dress.
360* Charlotte of ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends'' is ''completely'' blue. Her skin, eyes, clothes, and hair are all blue. She's the epitome of a CheerfulChild.
361* ''WesternAnimation/MeteoHeroes'': Patty Storm/Pluvia wears a blue jumpsuit as her superhero costume and Su Pa Sin/Nix has a cyan color scheme.
362* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': Trini's outfits have a lot of blue in them, and she is the most traditionally "feminine" of the kids, as she usually wears a dress.
363* XJ-9 from ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' is a teenage robot girl who has blue hair and has blue-colored body parts to resemble teenage fashion. Many sub-plots focus on her struggles as a high school student who wants to fit in with her flesh-and-blood classmates.
364* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'': ActionGirl Megan from the original generation, who wore blue overalls in the show.
365* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
366** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicRainbowDash Rainbow Dash]] is an aversion because she's the least feminine of the main characters.
367** Princess Ember, a female dragon from the season six episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E5GauntletOfFire Gauntlet of Fire]]", is one of few female dragons on the show and bright cobalt blue.
368* Bubbles of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', the girliest of them, is color-coded with a blue dress.
369* Downplayed with some characters from ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo''. Celery, Dr. Skelley, and Dr. Rafferty all wear blue, but they're not stereotypically feminine. Out of all of them, Dr. Rafferty would likely be the most feminine.
370* ''WesternAnimation/RosiesRules'': The artsy Crystal wears a blue denim jacket. Her mother, Liz, also wears blue. In fact, almost all of the girls and women wear blue, even [[{{Tomboy}} Jun]].
371* While in the comics she wears a [[UnlimitedWardrobe variety of clothes]], the sweet and feminine Sabrina in ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaAndTheGroovieGoolies'' mainly wears a blue dress.
372* Princess Sally Acorn of ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'' media wears blue boots and vest. She's feminine, but strong, even giving (G-rated) cusses to Robotnik.
373* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' plays with this trope regarding the title character [[Characters/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilStarButterfly Star Butterfly, The Underestimated]]. She often wears dresses in various shades of blue, [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak but despite her appearance,]] [[BadassAdorable her actions are not that feminine]]. Played straight with her mother [[Characters/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilMoonButterfly Moon Butterfly, The Undaunted]], whose default outfit is a very feminine blue dress. She also has blue hair. However, [[LadyOfWar there are times when she can fight]], but she's usually more graceful than Star.
374* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
375** [[Characters/StevenUniverseLapisLazuli Lapis Lazuli]] combines this with AmazingTechnicolorPopulation -- not only is she featured wearing a skirt and top in shades of blue, but her hair, eyes, and even skin are shades of blue as well. Along with [[PosthumousCharacter Rose Quartz]] and Sapphire she's the only Gem thus far whose primary outfit features a long skirt.
376** [[{{Seers}} Sapphire]] is the [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Girly Girl to Ruby's Tomboy]] -- unlike the ([[PlayingWithFire literally]]) HotBlooded Ruby, Sapphire is soft-spoken, demure, and patient, and has more feminine powers like precognition, SuperSpeed, and [[AnIcePerson ice magic]]. And like Lapis, she also combines it with blue skin and hair (though Sapphire does have patches of white in her outfit). However, when around Ruby, she becomes more open, affectionate, and talkative to [[SickeninglySweethearts sickening to degrees]]. Various episodes reveal that Sapphire Gems, as part of Blue Diamond's court, were expected to act demure and reserved like their matriarch, our Sapphire included. That is, until one of her Ruby bodyguards unexpectedly [[FusionDance fused with her]] trying to protect her, [[SpannerInTheWorks proving that the future is not as infallible as she once thought]]. The rest was history.
377** Steven's friend, [[Characters/StevenUniverseConnieMaheswaran Connie Maheswaran]], wears a light turquoise-green dress in some episodes as well as in the first title sequence. This initially connects with her shy, lonely, and studious demeanor, as her parents were overbearing and strict, but it's ultimately downplayed as she gradually comes out of her shell thanks to her friendship with Steven. While she still enjoys feminine interests, her overall personality is more masculine compared to [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide Steven]], with her outfits changing to reflect this.
378** [[Characters/StevenUniverseBlueDiamond Blue Diamond]] is the most traditionally feminine member of the [[GodEmperor Diamond Authority]], being a demure, melancholic, and soft-spoken Gem who wears figure-hugging gowns and cloaks to emphasize her curvy features. And of the four Diamonds, she's the only one associated with [[MakingASplash water]], as she has [[EmotionBomb reverse empathy]] that emits a blue aura when used, bluish-white energy manipulation, and a blue psychic aura that flows like water. She also oversees a court that's entirely composed of blue-colored Gems; according to Rebecca Sugar, blue Gems are "mainly diplomats".
379** Blue Pearl, who is Blue Diamond's servant and closest associate, fits the stereotype of Pearls as emotionless, pretty dolls for nobles, wearing a dainty, ballerina-like dress while her hair completely covers her eyes. She also speaks softly like her mistress does.
380* While Rapunzel usually wears purple, in ''WesternAnimation/TangledtheSeries'', she also wears a blue nightgown to bed in early episodes. Cassandra's handmaiden dress is also colored blue.
381* ''WesternAnimation/ThundarrTheBarbarian'': Ariel wears a blue LeotardOfPower, and she's not only [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the sole female of the heroic trio]], but also [[MagicIsFeminine the only one who can use magic]] (Thundarr uses a magic sword while Ookla relies on brute strength), which fits her background as the daughter of the [[EvilSorcerer evil wizard]] Sabain. She's also wily, intelligent, and resourceful; while she does end up in situations where she needs to be rescued by her companions, she had proved herself to be a genuine ActionGirl enough times that she avoids the FauxActionGirl label. Unfortunately, her tendency to [[MsExposition give history lectures]] falls on deaf ears and also annoys Thundarr.
382%%* Chromia from ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' is colored blue, as opposed to Arcee's (usually) pink. In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', Arcee is blue with pink highlights.
383* Downplayed with True from ''WesternAnimation/TrueAndTheRainbowKingdom''. She has blue hair, and is pretty girly; But blue is probably her natural hair color.
384* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'':
385** Many of Bloom's fairy forms are primarily blue. Also her civilian outfit (her first outfit is a teal crop top with dark blue trim and pale yellow sleeves with blue slightly flared jeans that have stars on the bottom of the legs) with the exception of her pink top in season 4.
386** On the villain side, the witch Icy is the [[LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine Dark Feminine]] type.
