'''Partner:''' Dressed like [[{{Stripperiffic}} that]]?\\

-->-- '''Kurtis Stryker''' and '''[[spoiler:Kabal]]''' upon sighting [[DarkActionGirl Mileena]], ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9''

Just as good and evil can be ColorCodedForYourConvenience, you can also tell them apart as heroes dress sensibly (more or less), and villains dress in skimpier outfits.

Although it's not that common nowadays, this likely started as a form of GettingCrapPastTheRadar. "It's okay if they dress immorally. They're the ''bad guys''! (wink)"

This trope doesn't require the good guys to dress like prudes, nor to never put on revealing clothing (because, you know, {{Fanservice}}). It's just that their regular outfits are significantly less skimpy than what the villains wear (and the heroes can dress like that with an EvilCostumeSwitch).

The exact way an outfit is skimpier can vary. It can be anything from being more form fitting to outright {{Stripperific}}.

This often overlaps with EvilIsSexy, except this doesn't require the villain to actually be sexy, just dressed skimpily ([[FanDisservice there can be a difference]]). Furthermore, that trope often has the villains dress just as sensibly as the heroes, or the heroes to dress just as sexy as the villains (most SuperHero comics). Neither of those is this trope.

A SubTrope of DressCodedForYourConvenience and often closely related to SlutShaming. May overlap with MakeUpIsEvil.

Compare GoodEyesEvilEyes, ObviouslyEvil, GoodColorsEvilColors. An author that uses the MadonnaWhoreComplex will often invoke this trope, which naturally leads to UnfortunateImplications about women who show off their bodies.

!!Examples:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* Zigzagged in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. Although shinigami wear far more conservative outfits than the arrancar, the most standout stripperific baddies (Halibel, Mila Rose, Grimmjow, and Lilinette) are some of the most sympathetic ones. By contrast, [[GirlishPigtails Loly Aivirrne]], who has [[ZettaiRyouiki a schoolgirl-like skirt, thigh-high boots]], and a shirt that reveals her midriff and half of her breasts, remains [[DepravedBisexual one of the]] [[{{Yandere}} most unpleasant characters]] in the series' run (in the manga at least; the anime actually gave her a good measure of redemption). However, [[AntiVillain Neliel]] wore a pantsuit as an Aizen-affiliated Espada, only to wear torn-apart rags upon regaining her memories ''as'' an Espada. The others, like [[MadScientist Szayel Aporro]], [[HeManWomanHater Nnoitra]], [[ShapeshifterGuiltTrip Aaroniero]], and even the Shinigami-born [[ManipulativeBastard Aizen]] wear more clothing than any of the others ever do. Although {{M|sFanservice}}atsumoto may be presented as sexier, other than a low-cut top, she's still wearing much more than the others mentioned.
* Inverted in ''Franchise/BlackRockShooter'', where the eponymous ''hero'' is dressed in the skimpy outfit (likely due to the [[AuthorAppeal author's tastes]]), and the villain wears something more sensible.
* In ''Manga/{{Genzo}}'', we have Princess Kiku, who dresses like a [[{{Tomboy}} Samurai]], and Genzo as sensible heroes, while the EvilRedhead Maria Kurusu wears only a [[OfCorsetsSexy black corset]], a long skirt, and boots.
* The first season of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''. TheHero wears a long-skirted uniform for her combat outfit, and her allies are either dressed casually or garbed in full military uniform. Meanwhile, TheDragon is wearing what's basically a black swimsuit with a short skirt and interestingly placed red belts, her {{Familiar}} wears even less, and the BigBad shows AbsoluteCleavage. This trope stops applying in later seasons, once Nanoha starts [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriending]] people.
** The Numbers Cyborgs, the BigBad's all female minions from {{Anime/StrikerS}} wear LatexSpaceSuit save for 2 members and Agito, whose outfit shows a lot of skin. MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce has Arnage, who wears a bikini top and short shorts and Curren, who wears some revealing outfits from time to time.
* ''{{Yaiba}}'', where the [[MoonRabbit moon]] [[EvilOverlord empress]] Kaguya dresses like a PlayboyBunny (she's apparently an anthropomorphic rabbit, [[spoiler:actually an EldritchAbomination]], possessing a human), while the heroes dress sensibly.
* ''SilentMoebius'', where [[TheSquad the AMP]] wears police uniforms (and one Miko outfit) or suits and the villains wear very little leather. [[spoiler: When [[TheHero Katsumi]] gets possessed by a demonic weapon, she also [[EvilCostumeSwitch adopts the leather]].]]
* ''Anime/{{Yatterman}}''. The heroes wear jumpsuits, while the main female villain wears a revealing leather outfit. Her ugly cronies also have their [[BareYourMidriff midriffs bared]] [[FanDisservice at all times]].
* The girls in ''{{Lime-iro Senkitan}}'' and ''{{Lime-iro Ryukitan X}}'', while their casual and military outfits are rather form fitting and on the short-skirted side, compared to the villains, who dress in barely-covering-anything black leather, they look positively modest.
* In the first half of ''FreshPrettyCure'', Eas, the sole female in the evil Labyrinth organization, wears a {{Stripperiffic}} black outfit complete with a bared midriff and short shorts, while the heroines wear comparatively modest frilly dresses when transformed. When Eas [[spoiler: makes her HighHeelFaceTurn and becomes Cure Passion, she gets a modest frilly dress of her own.]]
* ''StarDriver''. Almost all evil characters have openly {{Stripperiffic}} uniforms, while good guys usually dress modestly.
* Kinda inverted in SenkiZesshouSymphogear. Chris is introduced as a mostly clothed villain with a visor. (she still has underboob showing, though) In the episode where she begins her heel/face turn, she switches it out for a cleavage, shoulder, and thigh exposing costume.
* Played with in various ways in [[FateStayNight Fate/Stay Night]]. This is first played straight with Saber and Rider, one of whom who wears a fully-covered BattleBallgown, and the other a {{Stripperiffic}} mini-dress, and then averted with Saber and Caster, both of whom are fully and totally covered. However, later on, [[spoiler:Rider]] turns out to be actually good, and when [[spoiler:Saber becomes corrupted and turns into TheDragon, her clothes cover her ''[[UpToEleven even more]]''.]] During the final fight between Servants, this trope is actually inverted with [[spoiler:Saber Alter and Rider, who have their roles reversed]].
* While the females in {{Naruto}} all dress modestly no matter their alignment, the male villains tend to reveal their torso far more often then the heroes.The best examples are Zabuza, who only wears pants and Sasuke's infamous long-sleeved shirt which reveals most of his torso.
* ProjectAKo has the initial villain, B-Ko, wearing a plate bikini power armor when she finally faces A-Ko directly (instead of just using one of her numerous combat robots). She continues to wear it for the attempts they both make to recover C-Ko from the aliens (including D, who comes at them both with a sword, after ditching her trenchcoat to reveal a plate bikini). They also land in a laundry storage room at one point that contains nothing but panties. That seriously need to be washed. B-Ko, meanwhile, spends the entire film wearing her school uniform (albeit slightly worse for wear after a while).
* {{One Piece}} demonstrates a rare example of this trope demonstrated for both sides on the same character. [[spoiler:Kalifa]] from the CP9 arc initially has a short skirt and shows a little cleavage, but when she [[spoiler:drops her cover]] she adds some fishnet stockings and additional cleavage.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comicbooks]]
* Marvel's Hellfire Club, where the ladies dress in fetish gear and Sebastian Shaw likes to bare his chest for action.
* In ''TarotWitchOfTheBlackRose'', the dark witch's outfits are even skimpier than those of her good sister, and that's ''really'' saying something.
* Parodied, along with most of the TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks, in Creator/GrantMorrison's one-shot [[Comicbook/DoomPatrol Doom Force]]. The villainess first shows up dressed fairly sexily, which her brother finds disgusting - because she's wearing too much clothing. She obligingly switches to exotic lingerie. The brother, meanwhile, later shows up in a speedo and pasties.
** The parody comes in that her brother basically tells her to wear more revealing clothing because it's supposed to make her more empowered as a woman. Her response:
--->'''Una''': But I'm freezing cold!
* In DC's ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'', Arrowette fears she's turned evil. "I'll have to get a tight, skimpy black leather outfit that shows off my cleavage. Oh god. I'll have to get cleavage."
** Turns out to be a BrickJoke: the payoff comes in a later story, ''World Without Young Justice'', in which Bedlam has managed to MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight so the three YJ founders don't exist. This universe's "Dark Arrowette" is indeed wearing a skimpy black leather outfit. And has cleavage.
* The UnfortunateImplications of this trope are lampshaded in an issue of ''ComicBook/AvengersAcademy'' where the Avengers confront Cyclops' post-''Schism X''-Men team. Hawkeye (IIRC) says of Emma Frost, "I knew someone who dresses like that couldn't stay a good guy!", to which Tigra responds, "What does that make me? Doctor Doom?"
* The comparison shows up when a DC or Marvel good gal gets brainwashed or possessed or simply chooses to be bad.
** Some examples from Marvel comics: The Phoenix (Jean Grey?) as the Hellfire Club's Black Queen in the Dark Phoenix Saga, the Invisible Girl (as she then was known) turning into skimpily and spikily dressed Malice in ''Fantastic Four'' #280, and Madelyne Pryor when she became the Goblyn Queen. Meanwhile, when Emma Frost became a good guy, she started wearing a slightly less skimpy costume in ''Generation X''.
* Inverted with Starfire, whose costume is essentially a skimpy swimsuit, and her sister/dark counterpart Blackfire, who wears a full bodysuit.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fanfic]]
* This is the case more often than not in the ''Fanfiction/{{Shadowchasers}}'' series. Female heroes never wear anything more revealing than a BareYourMidriff outfit (at least, not willingly), while most female villains lack much modesty at all. (Of course, many of them are temptresses by choice or by species, meaning their outfits are more-or-less professional attire.)
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films]]
* In ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'', Dr. Frank N. Furter often dresses in nothing more than a corset, fishnets, heels, and short shorts (or panties...). When others "succumb" to his power, they start dressing this way.
* [[http://www.comicsbulletin.com/soapbox/125461888840692.htm Princess Aura's metal bikini with shoulders & cape]] from the 1980s film of ''Film/FlashGordon'', although some of the heroes were wearing pretty immodest outfits too.
* In ''Film/TheLairOfTheWhiteWorm'', the entire cast is dressed in a manner fitting people living in the English countryside. That is, except for Lady Marsh, who wears very little and happens to be an evil vampire worshipping an EldritchAbomination.
* [[http://images.wikia.com/harrypotter/images/d/d9/Bellatrix89.jpg Bellatrix Lestrange]] from the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films counts, at least in ''Order of the Phoenix''.
* While this can fit the [[Comicbook/{{X-Men}} comics]] too in a way, the only skimpy mutants in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' either started or ended on the evil side: Mystique (doesn't wear clothes, except when she was still with the X-Men), Emma Frost (a bikini or cleavage for most of ''First Class'' - [[ContinuitySnarl the "Wolverine" version]] [[CanonDiscontinuity doesn't count!]]) and Angel Salvatore. Although this is because ''all'' the female mutants end up on the Brotherhood's side, and all the women in the movie are used for fanservice.
* ''Film/TheMarine'': Triton's down-to-earth wife Kate wears a denim jacket, white tank top, and jeans. Bad Girl Angela wears a leather getup with a leopard top. And, if memory serves, heels. [[CombatStilettos In a swamp chase.]] [[http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2336135168/tt0419946 Compare]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* The ''Series/TinMan'' recent SciFiChannel original film with Neal [=McDonough=] and Zoey Deschanel, the evil sis had some costumes.
** Let's just say there was a reason why the flying monkeys in this version were nicknamed "boobmonkeys".
* The MirrorUniverse in ''Franchise/StarTrek''
** While Mirror Kira's black jumpsuit shows rather less skin than normal Kira's red uniform it's still a lot more openly sexual.
* One gets the sense that ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' was trying to use this trope, only the female lead characters were so {{Stripperific}} that it would have been hard to make the female demons [[UpToEleven even more so]]; therefore, the Charmed Sisters are only marginally less sexy than the female demons. Male demons would seem to be a straighter example of this trope, at least in the later seasons, when you had fellows like Zankou using leather outfits as a symbol for their status as evil demons.
* Compare Colonel Deering (good) with Princess Ardala (bad) in ''Series/BuckRogersInTheTwentyFifthCentury''.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' gives a controlled example with vampire/human Willow, [[EvilTwin the same character except for alignment]]. Upon discovering how tight her vampire self's corset is, human Willow comments, "I guess vampires really don't have to breathe." She later delivers the gem: "I'm a bloodsucking fiend! Just look at my outfit!"
** There was also [[DarkActionGirl Faith]], who, while not exactly {{Stripperific}}, tended to show a lot more cleavage than Buffy (and wear generally tighter outfits).
*** Averted in later seasons. After she [[spoiler: became good]], she wore the exact same clothes she normally did.
* ''Series/{{Stargate SG-1}}'' played with this trope a bit. While Carter and Dr. Frasier were always well covered up, the female Goa'uld were generally pretty {{Stripperific}}.
** In the episode "The Warrior", a lot of the males wore similarly skimpy outfits when not in the uniforms they were made to wear by their former masters.
* As with the [[Manga/SailorMoon anime]], in the live sction series of ''PrettyGuardianSailorMoon'', it's hard to miss Queen Beryl's rather generous chest. It's especially noticable compared to the scouts' modest street clothes and SailorFuku.
* This happens with some of the seasons of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'': compare the suited heroes and heroines to villainesses such as [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Divatox]] and [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Vypra]].
** It's usually carried over from the corresponding ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', where several villainess characters have been played by well-known former "adult" actresses.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music Videos]]
* In the video for "You Belong with Me" by TaylorSwift, when the nerdy girl takes off her glasses and reveals that she was BeautifulAllAlong at the HighSchoolDance, she is wearing a modest white dress. The AlphaBitch character, also played by her, is in a skimpy red dress.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* Back when she first debuted in the late 90s, Stephanie [=McMahon=] wore tasteful formal and semi-formal outfits. When she first [[FaceHeelTurn turned heel]] to join up with TripleH and DGenerationX, she switched that look for tank tops and leather hot pants. Exemplified with her 2003 HeelFaceTurn and she was wearing business suits and modest clothing.
* {{Sable}} may have had skimpy outfits occasionally as a face (The Slammys, her infamous hand-print bikini) but in the ring she almost always wore fairly modest gear. However after her FaceHeelTurn she frequently wrestled in just short-shorts and a very revealing bra. Her trademark SpyCatsuit also made a lot more appearances when she was heel.
* Inverted with Ivory when she joined Right To Censor. As a member of a stable of prudish parodies of the MoralGuardians and MediaWatchdogs, Ivory wrestled in a non-flattering blouse and bow tie and a very impractical ankle-length black skirt. Thus her opponents would always be more exposed than her.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* The [[SpaceElves Eldar]] from ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}''. The good-[[BlackAndGrayMorality ish]] Craftworld Eldar tend to wear long robes and full body armour. Their evil cousins, the Dark Eldar, wear comparatively little to show off their lithe bodies and combat prowess: this is ''especially'' true for the [[DarkActionGirl Wyches]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* The ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series is a fan of this.
** Rinoa, the hero's girlfriend and good girl, versus Sorceress Ultimecia, the game's ultimate villain. Rinoa may be prettier, but evil gets [[AbsoluteCleavage a dress where the neckline ends at the]] ''[[AbsoluteCleavage crotch]]''. And then it's slit up [[UpToEleven a little further for good measure.]]
** Also, Edea's dress shows a fair bit of cleavage while she is the villain, but when she turns good, her dress changes to something that covers her chest. [[spoiler: Then again, she's possessed by Ultimecia when wearing the black dress, so she's probably been borrowing her fashion sense.]]
** Sorceress Adel wears nothing but a skirt. This is FanDisservice, however, as Sorceress Adel has the build of a man.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' seems to follow it at first- with both men ''and'' women. Although many of the male protagonists aren't wearing full shirts, Seymour is showing ''even more'' than that (to the point of being the male equivalent of AbsoluteCleavage). [[spoiler:Yunalesca]] is just wearing a bikini. [[spoiler: Jecht never wears a shirt either - and the player eventually finds out that he's currently Sin, the ungodly horror tormenting the entire world. The subversion is that he is still one of the good guys.]] Yuna, on the other hand, is TheMessiah and wears a skimpy kimono, Wakka shows half of his torso, Tidus shows even more and Lulu has an [[MostCommonSuperpower interesting dress.]] So in the end just about everyone is explicit, and the trope thoroughly subverted.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'' gave us the Cloud of Darkness, a woman wearing a cape, paint...and that's it. All other female characters in the game are significantly more dressed up.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' plays with this as pretty much every female boss can't be bothered to wear more than a bikini (especially Barbariccia), while the female leads are wearing actual clothes. Adult Rydia pushes this though.
** And ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'''s fine male example, [[WhiteHairedPrettyBoy Kuja]].
* This also carries over into the spin-off ''DissidiaFinalFantasy. ''Just compare the Cosmos and Chaos female characters. Terra wears a fairly normal outfit, albeit with a miniskirt, though she is wearing tights underneath. Shantotto, as someone ([[TokenEvilTeammate marginally]]) on Cosmos's side, wears a full uniform. Cosmos herself is wearing a long white gown. Meanwhile, the Chaos side only has two women - and they're Ultimecia and the Cloud of Darkness, mentioned above.
** It gets a little amusing in the {{Prequel}} game, ''Dissidia 012'', where we see that several heroes were on Chaos's side in the previous war. [[spoiler:Terra]] loses the leggings and skirt in favor of a white leotard and a hip scarf, and [[spoiler:Tidus]] seems to have developed an [[WalkingShirtlessScene allergy to shirts.]] [[spoiler:Runs in the family, I guess. Cloud]] actually gains more clothing with much fancier armour, but also adds more jewellery, and [[spoiler: Jecht]] is exactly the same despite being a good guy.
* The Dark Queen of ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}''. The Battletoads subvert the trope, being the heroes, and also muscular, almost naked eyecandy.
* Inverted in ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic 2'', in which the more light-side of your female party members (Mira and the Handmaiden if the player is male) expose a lot more skin over the course of the game than the darker pair (Visas and Kreia). The Twin Suns, two female Twi'leks that are minor bosses on Nar Shadda, play this trope straight by wearing less than any female party member, except for the Handmaiden in her underwear.
* In ''LuminousArc'' series, the first {{stripperiffic}} female ''antagonist'' character you meet WILL HeelFaceTurn. Subverted with the second female antagonist that appear will has much less revealing outfit [[spoiler:eg.Priel,Elicia and Yorg]]. [[spoiler:Valerie]] will switched to much more revealing outfit when she reveal her true identity.
* In ''Franchise/MassEffect'', your teammate Liara wears a perfectly ordinary tunic of the sort many female [=NPCs=] are comfortable wandering around in public wearing. Her mother Benezia, suffering from a case of MoreThanMindControl, has an ImpossiblyLowNeckline to show off her ''huge''...[[Creator/MontyPython tracts of land]].
** Also played straight in the sequel, where Shepard's nicest female allies ({{T|heWoobie}}ali, Ashley, and [[HotScientist Liara]]) run around in the same sensible clothes as in the first game, the more morally questionable ones ([[FemmeFatale Miranda]] and [[LawfulStupid Samara]]) have ''extremely'' close-fitting outfits (with AbsoluteCleavage in Samara's case), and the only thing the psychotic one ([[AxCrazy Jack]]) wears from the waist up is tattoos and a leather strap that's only just wide enough to cover her nipples.
** Oddly enough, you get a bit of this with some of the male characters as well. [[HitmanWithAHeart Thane]] shows off a strip of bare chest (for medical reasons, apparently), and [[AxCrazy Grunt]] has bare arms (in both cases more skin than any non-Asari alien in the first game displays), and are also the most Renegade of your team (unless you download Zaeed, but that's another story).
*** Zaeed's armor doesn't cover everything either. So yes, this game includes several male examples.
* Also subverted in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' with [[BlackMagicianGirl Morrigan's]][[DistractedByTheSexy ...]] [[AbsoluteCleavage outfit]] as compared to the nice modest Chantry robes [[JeanneDArchetype Leliana]] shows up wearing. While Morrigan is a bit mean and a ruthless anarchist, she is still one of the heroes. While one of your clues that [[MyMasterRightOrWrong Ser Cauthrien]] can be reasoned with is that she wears perfectly ordinary heavy armor, almost everybody is dressed sensibly if you ignore the pure fanservicey skintight robes that every woman not in armor wears.
* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', Solid Snake wears a (admittedly [[ThongOfShielding a little revealing]], but mostly fairly sensible) SpyCatsuit. His EvilTwin, Liquid Snake, walks around only in tight trousers and a coat undone at the front. He has no shirt. The game takes place in Alaska.
* ''VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar''. Luna wears a peasant dress at first, then practically nothing after her (apparent) FaceHeelTurn.
** While all the women of the Vile Tribe shown in ''Silver Star Story Complete'' and beyond wear rather skimpy clothes, it should not be a shock which one of them chooses to make a FaceHeelTurn later in the game considering that she's the most conservatively dressed of the three.
* I-NO of ''GuiltyGear'' is...improperly dressed. Works for "That Man", who appears to be TheManBehindTheMan. Though this is kind of subverted because the heroine, Dizzy, is wearing ''[[InnocentFanserviceGirl even less]]''.
** On the other hand, Dizzy doesn't have a winpose where she takes her clothes ''off''...
* Somewhat averted with the player characters in ''Champions of Norrath''. While they're all technically good guys, you can play as a Dark Elf Shadow-Night, and the female version of that class is one of the two ''most'' covered female characters. The most skimpily dressed one is the Desert Mage, who is the only one with AbsoluteCleavage.
* While every female in ''VideoGame/BloodRayne'' is some degree of {{Stripperiffic}}, Rayne's costume is somewhat protective compared to Ephemera's [[OfCorsetsSexy skin exposure]] and Feral's [[VaporWear animated tattoos]]. In the first, [[spoiler: Rayne's mentor, Mynce, shows more leg, and later is revealed to be a traitor]].
** [[spoiler: Subverted, however, at the end of the game as Mynce is not actually a traitor but reveals herself as a DoubleAgent just before she's killed by the BigBad.]]
* ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' is a minor example, as [[WhiteMagicianGirl Mia]], [[BlackMagicianGirl Jenna]], and [[MysteriousWaif Sheba]] all dress modestly, with nary a hint of cleavage to be seen (Mia's a [[JustifiedTrope justified case]], as she comes from a snowy mountain region). The villainous [[MsFanservice Karst]], on the other hand, runs around in a [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring top]], [[ZettaiRyouiki mini-skirt, and thigh-high boots.]] Her big sister, [[PlayingWithFire Menardi]], however, wears [[SubvertedTrope a dress that's every bit as modest as the heroines'.]]
** ''[[VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn Dark Dawn]]'' continues the tradition with [[BlowYouAway Karis]], [[{{Badass}} Sveta]], and [[ShrineMaiden Himi]] all wearing practical, modest outfits while still managing to look good. And then there's [[FetishFuelStationAttendant Chalis]], who...well, [[http://goldensunwiki.net/images/b/ba/GSHeart.jpg see for yourself.]]
* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', as seen above in the page quote. Stryker sees [[{{Stripperiffic}} Millena]] and automatically assumes she's a foe. Fellow cop, [[spoiler: actually Kabal]], says "dressed like that?" and Stryker says "''definitely'' foe." (Note that while Millena is, indeed, evil, her outfit seems to be standard attire for female warriors of the Outland, and a few them are rather decent (Kitana is an example).
** ''9'' (and the ''MortalKombat'' franchise as a whole) is definitely a large-scale subversion, as most of the heroines, villainesses, and neutrally-aligned females are pretty damn {{Stripperiffic}} (this became ''especially'' notable when the series [[FanservicePack entered its]] HotterAndSexier [[WorldOfBuxom phase]] around the time of ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance Deadly Alliance]]''), regardless of alignment, [[TokenWholesome the main exception being]] [[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception Ashrah]], who is something of a KnightTemplar.
* LeagueOfLegends plays this trope straight and subverts it at the same time. While most of the females are {{stripperific}}, All the well-dressed female champions are good.
* Played with a bit in ''LaPucelle''. Princess Eclair normally wears a BattleBallgown, while her SuperpoweredEvilSide wears sexy black lingerie. However, the circumstances where Dark Eclair first shows up seems to suggest that that's just Eclair's normal sleepwear.
* In ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', Rouge, the vain, rather selfish AntiHero, dresses in clothes that show off everything she's got to maximum effect, and HarmlessVillain Wave has a bared midriff and may not even wear a shirt; while Amy, Cream, and Blaze dress up modestly, and Tikal, being undead, doesn't even have anything to show off. Shade is evil but is fully clad in armor.
* Inverted in ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'' - resident ({{faux|ActionGirl}}) ActionGirl [[HelloNurse Krystal]] is the {{Stripperiffic}} MsFanservice in ChainmailBikini, while BigBad [[FourStarBadass General]] [[MagnificentBastard Scales]] normally dresses in full uniform or armour.
* In VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas, female members of the Fiends gang dress like pole dancers. Your companions Veronica and Cass dress like they might have to work outdoors in a harsh climate.
* In ''VideoGame/ImmortalSouls'', Isis Corporation Agents wear Badass Suits, John and Raven wear skintight but fully concealing clothes, and the Templars wear full-body PowerArmor. Meanwhile the Black Witch and Juliet are {{Stripperiffic}} via ClothingDamage for the former and OfCorsetsSexy for the latter, as well as Juliet's female gang members also dressing equally sexy.
* In ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'', this is played straight in Vivi's Funeral Salon in that Lance, the bumbling hero, is fully clothed, while Vivi is a big-breasted villainess in a black, skimpy, [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring]] outfit.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''AVeryPotterMusical'', once he gets his body body back, Voldemort wears nothing but a cape, tight pants, and tap shoes for the rest of the play. EvilIsSexy, indeed. His outfit is actually far more revealing than Bellatrix's (who dresses rather modestly except for a pretty high slit in her skirt), in an unusual subversion.
* On ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall,'' Linkara [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/linkara/at4w/5906-top15worst notes]] that while men gain more clothes from a FaceHeelTurn, women always become skimpier. He uses [[CharacterizationTags evil!]] [[{{Shazam}} Mary Marvel's]] miniskirt as a prime example.
* ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum Agents wear bulky black military fatigues. Compare this with the skimpy or overly ornate clothing of the average MarySue...
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* While ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'''s lead female, Haley, usually gets by with nothing sexier than a bare midriff, her EvilCounterpart Sabine is prone to do things like engage in battle wearing a schoolgirl outfit (granted, Sabine is a succubus). Other female antagonists, notably Tsukiko, also dress skimpily.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': compare [[http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/White_Queen White Queen]] and [[http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Queen Black Queen's]] outfits.
* The main characters in ''Webcomic/AtArmsLength'' wear reasonable shirt and pants combos into battle, but their arch nemesis Temujin looks like she bought her outfit from the barbarian section of Victoria's Secret.
** Ally's outfit might still count as FetishFuel, however.
** Averted with Kiley, who wears a tube top.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''TransformersAnimated'': Compare Arcee and Blackarachnia's designs and see which parts of their bodies resemble exposed skin.
** Arguably applies to Blackarachnia all by herself in ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''. Compare her original body to her post-HeelFaceTurn outfit and try to spot the "skin". And then there's Airazor, who seems to be a fairly modest Maximal from the get-go.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' offers what could be considered an [[InvertedTrope inversion.]] The female villains are usually dressed more conservatively than Starfire, who flies around in a [[BareYourMidriff midriff baring]] shirt and a short skirt, and Raven, who, under the cloak, wears a ridiculously tight looking [[LeotardOfPower leotard.]]
** Comic book Starfire takes this a step further, they had to put more clothes ON her for the cartoon. She's even naked occasionally in the comics.
