8Victoria became a popular Instagram model towards the end of the 2010s, effectively transitioning from her music & acting career into a social media starlet. Starting in late 2020, she has revived her music career by releasing occasional singles as an indie artist following a period of dormancy after her 2013 post-''Victorious'' co-headlining tour with Music/BigTimeRush.

40!!Victoria Justice's works exhibits these tropes:
41* ButtMonkey: All of her appearances on ''Brain Surge'' had her be the first contestant to be eliminated.
42* BreakUpSong: The unreleased "Perfect" is about wanting to end a relationship that initially seemed great.
43* ChewingTheScenery:
44** From ''All I Want Is Everything'': "AS LONG AS IT FEELS RIGHT, AT LEAST WE KNOW THAT WE'RE ALIVE!"
45** And on ''Series/{{Victorious}}'', her character has moments of this.
46** Her performances on Lip Sync Battle.
47* CoveredInGunge: When hosting the 2020 [[UsefulNotes/KidsChoiceAward Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards]]. She'd also previously gotten it in a trailer for the 2012 ceremony, along with Creator/DanielRadcliffe. She got more of it (Radcliffe barely got any).
48* ExtremeDoormat: A self-proclaimed people pleaser, she wrote "Too F*ckin' Nice" as an anthem to people who are too kind and polite for their own good.
49* GirlsWithMoustaches: A big fan of wearing fake mustaches, to the point that most of the emoticons she uses include a moustache.
50* IdenticalStranger: She met Creator/NinaDobrev for the first time at the Teen Choice Awards of 2015 and called her "my doppelganger".
51* InsecureLoveInterest: Defied in "Raw", in which she acknowledges that she is far from perfect but wants to be accepted nonetheless.
52--> "Would you take me with my flaws?\
53'Cause I'm not perfect, but I'll give you raw."
54* {{Medley}}: She has done three medleys with Max Schneider and with Kurt Hugo Schneider producing. One was a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cJkmv8slxk Bruno Mars medley]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5eoHHrTKvs another]] was a Music/MaroonFive medley and another is a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHpaCq7xIQM Christmas song medley]]. She actually performed the "Music/BrunoMars Medley" on her Make It in America Tour.
55* {{Mesodiplosis}}: In "Tripped"
56--> "Fall for your kiss\
57Slipped on your lips"
58* MsFanservice:
59** Lots of it. She always dresses up well at big events.
60** Her very popular Instagram account shows her often in revealing outfits.
61* PrefersGoingBarefoot: Is frequently seen barefoot on promotional pictures and social media.
62* PrecisionFStrike: 2020 comeback single "Treat Myself" has two moments of this, starting with a "damn" in the second line. It shows a broken side of Victoria that had been impacted by constant negativity and self-doubt.
63--> "I don't need nobody else, learning this shit for myself."
64* SecretRelationship: The unreleased "Our Little Secret".
65--> "The moment they spot us, our cover is blown. It's useless, it's pointless, just leave us alone, okay? I can't live that way."
66* SelfDeprecation: "Treat Myself" is a depression anthem that discusses and defies this, being about self-hate and trying to overcome it.
67--> "I wouldn't say the things I do to anybody else\
68So why's it okay to say to myself?"
69* ShoutOut: The single cover for "Only a Stranger" pays homage to Music/BillyJoel's ''Music/{{The Stranger|Album}}'' album cover.
70* SillyLoveSongs: "Gold" is a playful song about a girl trying to get her crush to make the first move toward a relationship.
71* SingerSongwriter: She writes and performs much of her own music.
72* ThisIsASong: "Make It In America" has a verse where she talks about singing the lyrics to a song she wrote called "Make It In America".
73* {{Typecasting}}: Her most common roles are a combination of NiceGirl and [[TheEveryman Everygirl]], sometimes OnlySaneWoman. ''Series/EyeCandy'' [[DefiedTrope defies this]] with her lead role as an obsessive hacker with a legally dubious history.
74* UndyingLoyalty: The unreleased "Friends Count" for Build-A-Bear Workshop.
75* UnflinchingWalk: At the end of the climax in ''The Boy Who Cried Werewolf''.
76* VocalEvolution: Her voice is softer, richer, and a bit less nasal on "Treat Myself" than it was on the songs she recorded for the first season of ''Victorious'', showing more range and becoming less reliant on auto-tune.
77* WholesomeCrossdresser:
78** Twice. One, in ''Series/{{Zoey 101}}'', she (Lola) poses as a boy named Steve in the episode "Girls Will Be Boys" and pulled it off until she had to get in a pool. Two, in ''Series/{{Victorious}}'', Tori was cast in a school play as Jade's husband in the episode "Tori and Jade's Play Date".
79** Similar hair on both occasions. Both also dealt with the fake mustache, the ''Zoey 101'' moment briefer and earlier than the Victorious moment. [[http://twitter.yfrog.com/odyr1dj In fact, that episode]] ''[[http://twitter.yfrog.com/odyr1dj Zoey 101]]'' [[http://twitter.yfrog.com/odyr1dj could be considered the starting point for her obsession with mustaches.]]
