[[caption-width-right:350:[-The [[PrettyInMink furs]] and dresses here are already out of fashion!-] ]]


This character is, quite simply, a character whose defining trait is being well-dressed and extremely interested in fashion (and beauty).

The Fashionista is often a woman, save for instances of TheDandy, or a CampGay guy (whether or not he is a fashion designer). The Fashionista will invariably love to shop, read {{Fashion Magazine}}s, and watch (or be involved in if she is a model or a designer) {{Fashion Show}}s, and will either have an UnlimitedWardrobe or long for one. She may be the Girly Girl in a TomboyAndGirlyGirl pair. If not she will -- depending on temperament -- either be AlphaBitch[=/=]RichBitch or SpoiledSweet.

Either way, she is often a prime candidate for EvenTheGirlsWantHer. At some point in the story, she is likely to wear a LittleBlackDress (or [[LadyInRed a red one]]). Some of her outfits are likely [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine midriff-baring]]. She is also likely at some point to give TheMakeover to a character who is either BeautifulAllAlong or [[SheCleansUpNicely Cleans Up Nicely]].

Sometimes, The Fashionista makes her own clothes, usually if she actually works in the fashion industry or wants to. She may [[ReallyGetsAround Really Get Around]], but it is not a requirement. The Fashionista is usually skinny; it is uncommon to see a HollywoodPudgy one, and in more [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism cynical]] shows, she may have an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia.

An older fashionista may be a SilverVixen, a WhiteDwarfStarlet, a StacysMom, or say "IWasQuiteALooker." In movies and shows from TheEighties, TheFashionista may also be a ValleyGirl. Whether or not she is a superheroine, she will most likely have multiple costume changes over the years. If she is a supervillainess, she will most likely be a VainSorceress. She's not immune to FashionDissonance though. If she also happens to be an ActionGirl then you've got a GirlyBruiser or an ActionFashionista. A SelfieFiend is frequently a fashionista.

If the audience does not consider her a fashionista, this is InformedAttractiveness.

A SubTrope of CostumePorn (personifying that trope in these characters).

* ''Manga/TheDangersInMyHeart'' : Anna Yamada; [[JustifiedTrope a given since she's model]]. Aside from what she wears in bonus material, she has several outfits for going out and has been noted to look [[YoungerThanTheyLook even more like an adult]] in them.

* ''VideoGame/LapisReLights'' has Ratura of Sugar Pockets. Her family runs an internationally-lauded fashion brand, she's inherited the talent of designing clothes, and is very stylish and fashionable in general.

In ''Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4'' one of her attacks even has Hanabi complain when her hair becomes messy in battle.
* Koito from ''Manga/OtakuElf'' wants to be a fashionista and is occasionally seen reading fashion magazines and bought both a high-end handbag and a second-hand trench coat from a high-end fashion house, but, as other characters note, it doesn't really work for her. When she showed the high-end handbag (which cost her three years of new-year's money) to other characters, they said it looked out of her league, which she admitted that it really does.

* ''ComicBook/PocketGod'': Toola takes great pride in her beauty and fashion.

* Anastasia Burns from ''Fanfic/TheSimpsonsTeamLASH'' is extremely conscious about what she wears, [[UnlimitedWardrobe has a near-bottomless wardrobe]], and is subscribed to a FashionMagazine called ''Clotheshorse Monthly''.
* This is [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII Bethany]]'s preoccupation in the ''Fanfic/SkyholdAcademyYearbook'' series, as a nod to her in-game love for pretty clothes and shoes. She studied fashion design and manufacture in college, runs a blog about the subject, and makes some of her own clothing; she also helps to create the costumes when the school puts on a stage version of ''Beauty and the Beast''.
* In ''Fanfic/TheirBond'', Link (being a soldier) doesn't wear much variety and prefers the practical, but it doesn't mean he isn't well-versed in fashion. This element causes Malon to ask him if he's gay, which [[spoiler:he is]].
* In ''Fanfic/StoryOfSin'', Rodion is turned into this, even running a channel where she gives beauty tips and most recently has focused on nail art, which she says that her fans 'eat it up'.

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'': Cruella de Vil's obsession with fashion, especially of the furred variety, is her entire motivation, leading her to acquire nearly a hundred puppies to make into clothing for herself.

* ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'': Disgust takes on this role, as part of her job is to set high standards for Riley.
-->'''Disgust:''' "When I'm through, Riley will look so good the other kids will look at their own outfits and barf."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* Most of the women (except Andy) in ''Film/TheDevilWearsPrada'' are like this, largely because they work for a fashion magazine. It's implied to be the imposed edict of the magazine's owner, played by Creator/MerylStreep; during the "gird your loins" scene where everyone is in a flurry because she's on her way, there's a brief throwaway shot of one woman hurriedly exchanging her sensible and comfortable shoes for a pair of stilettos.
* ''Film/TheDressmaker'' couldn't get much more [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin self-explanatory]].
* In ''Film/HouseOf9'', Max Roy is a fashion designer whose initial concern on being trapped in a DeadlyGame in a house with nine strangers is that he only has one outfit.
* ''Film/TheHungerGames'': Effie Trinket has been wearing fancy dresses in all her appearances. When she has to wear jumpsuits after defecting to District 13, she's obviously pissed off. That said, she is able to rock the jumpsuit with a few alterations and accessories.
* In ''Film/AKnightsTale'' Jocelyn likes wearing different clothes and dressing to match her knight because a flower is only as good as its petals.

* Birdie Jay from ''Film/GlassOnion'' used to be a supermodel and now works as a fashion designer, and her background certainly shows in the colorful, flashy outfits she wears throughout the film.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'': Rachel is described as incredibly beautiful and able to coordinate any outfit to resemble a fashion model's style. Shopping for clothes in the mall is her favorite hobby; it becomes a ChekhovsSkill in one book when she needs to dress a malfunctioning [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Erik]] in a stylish outfit and successfully picks out the perfect ensemble without knowing any of his sizes. Rachel also happens to be the team's [[TheBigGuy best and most enthusiastic fighter]], happily morphing to grizzly bear to tear an Hork-Bajir or five to shreds. In one book, she undergoes LiteralSplitPersonality; her "good" half is cowardly and loves shopping, while her "evil" half couldn't care less about clothes (although he ''still'' manages to look good in her tomboyish clothes) and takes her BloodKnight tendencies up a notch.
* ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub'': Anyone who grew up reading this series will remember the obligatory description of Claudia's outfits as the highlight of the otherwise virtually copy-and-pasted introductory passage in each book. She was also the artsy one, and her dress sense obeyed no laws of fashion except her own, but we're assured that "on her, it totally worked" every time. Her best friend Stacey was from New York, which was treated like it was proof of fashion consciousness in itself.
* In ''Literature/TheEgyptGame'', April goes for a '60s Hollywood look (BeehiveHairdo, PrettyInMink, etc.) at the start. (The novel was written in 1967.) She's [[WellDoneSonGuy emulating her inattentive actress/singer mother]].
%%* ''FancyNancy'':Nancy.
%% * Shaunee, Erin and Aphrodite from ''Literature/TheHouseOfNight''.
* Jessamine Lovelace from ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices'' is ''very'' concerned about how she looks, and it's she who takes Tessa out to buy new dresses.
* ''Literature/LettersToHisSon'': The French in general are fabulously fashionable; "Fashion is more tyrannical at Paris than in any other place in the world; it governs even more absolutely than [[UsefulNotes/LetatCestMoi their king]], which is saying a great deal."
* In ''Literature/LonelyWerewolfGirl,'' this is the [[PlanetOfHats Hat]] of the Fire Demons. The standout character is, of course, Malveria, but Werewolf-fashion designer Thrix runs a close second. Showing up in the wrong dress [[SeriousBusiness could start a war]] you know.
* ''Literature/TheParasolProtectorate'' has the extremely fashionable vampiric Lord Akeldama, and his retinue of rarified dandies.
%% * The ''Literature/RainbowMagic'' series has Phoebe the Fashion Fairy and the other Fashion Fairies who are her helpers.
* ''Literature/TimeScout'': Margo dresses well with timeless class. When she first encounters Connie Logan's shop, she practically orgasms.
* In ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'', Alice loves dressing people up and throwing parties, [[LesYay especially if Bella's involved]]. She not only organizes Bella's wedding, but packs her honeymoon suitcase, dresses her up in a cocktail dress and stilettos [[spoiler:for her first post-vamp hunt]], and fills up her closet at home with high-end, fashionable clothing while Bella would rather wear jeans.
* ''Literature/{{Ward}}'' has the main protagonist, Victoria Dallon. While she doesn't go overboard, she is very fashion conscious and her narrative descriptions of other characters frequently include a rundown of exactly what they're wearing and her own critique of it.
* ''Literature/WhileMyPrettyOneSleeps'':
** Neeve Kearny loves fashion; she's always well-dressed and runs a successful fashion boutique, Neeve's Place, helping to dress dozens of women in stylish and flattering outfits. Her keen eye for fashion even helps solve the central mystery of what happened to Ethel. Neeve notices something is off about Ethel's clothes: firstly, she has supposedly left town but didn't take any winter coats despite the freezing weather, and when her body is finally found, Neeve believes her killer dressed her in a specific outfit because the blouse she's wearing with her suit is one she would never have picked for herself (while it was the one sold with the suit, Neeve had warned her off it as it clashed with the rest of the outfit), one of her stockings has a significant run in it (Neeve says she would never go out with her stockings in that state) and she isn't wearing any jewellery (which could be used to identify her). The caftan she tended wear around her home is [[AbsenceOfEvidence also missing]] (it was the outfit she ''actually'' died in and it got covered in blood). This means Ethel was killed in her apartment and her body dressed to ''look'' like she was intending to go out. Neeve also correctly deduces that [[spoiler:Ethel's ex-husband]] didn't kill her because based on his dowdy clothes, he knows little about fashion.
** Neeve inherited her interest in and talent for fashion from her mother; Renata also had a good eye for fashion and took a part-time job buying clothes for a boutique, often bringing Neeve with her. Renata wasn't afraid to call out merchants trying to sell her unflattering outfits, was always impeccably dressed and believed that "A woman's clothes should fit her like a second skin". She also took it upon herself to [[IWantMyBelovedToBeFashionable help her husband dress better]], including laying out his ties for him, as Myles is all but clueless when it comes to fashion. [[spoiler:It's revealed that Renata even had the makings of being a great fashion designer, with Sal saying he knew just from looking through her design portfolio that she had TheGift for it; Sal stole her designs and made fashion history with them]].

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
%% * ''Series/AbsolutelyFabulous'': Edina and Patsy
* ''Series/AmberBrown2022'': Brandi is quite into wearing different stylish outfits and hairdos.
* ''Series/AmericanIdol'': When female judges started commenting on how a contestant looked, it was usually a sign that they couldn't find anything good to say about their performance. Music/NickiMinaj, on the other hand, is always giving commentary/suggestions on their style choices ''and'' still commenting on the performances themselves.
* ''Series/{{Arabela}}'': Princess Xenia is very fond of clothes, especially the modern ones worn in the human world.
* ''Series/TheBoldType'': All three of the main characters -- Jane, Kat, and Sutton -- are beautiful dressers, mixing high and low fashion labels. Their boss Jacqueline Carlyle is always dressed in high-end designer fashions.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Cordelia and the Cordettes are vicious enforcers of fashion rules.
-->'''Angel:''' It was kind of like the Soviet Secret Police if they cared a lot about shoes.
%% * ''Series/{{Carrusel}}'': Margarita Garza.
* ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'': Fiona Coyne is a talented artist and is also very interested in fashion, as shown through her unique sense of style.
* ''Series/DesperateHousewives'': Gabrielle is a former fashion model who, despite giving up the runway, hasn't sacrificed the clothes she wore while posing. She's easily the best dressed of the titular housewives and is known to spend extravagantly on the latest designer outfits. In the final season of the show, her sense of style becomes a ChekhovsSkill--she treats herself to a day of shopping and proves incredibly good at creating elaborate ensembles, so the high-end store she's visiting offers her a job as a "professional shopper" for rich clients (she's responsible for picking out clothes for people who either don't have time to choose or lack fashion sense). Gabrielle finds herself genuinely enjoying the work and parlays it into a full-on home shopping empire, making her rich and successful.

%% * ''Series/{{Jessie}}'''s Emma Ross.
* ''Series/HometownChaChaCha'': Hye-jin's outfits are always luxurious and well put together. When trying to plan an outfit for a former classmate's wedding, she orders dozens of packages in the weeks leading up to it.
* Middle daughter Mandy on ''Series/LastManStanding'' is always dressed well, and she creates her own line of clothing and sells them out of her parents' basement.
* ''Series/{{Llanargollen}}'': This is an InformedAttribute with Tara, who is supposedly an expert on fashion, yet [[LimitedWardrobe has the exact same clothing and hairstyle in every episode]], just like the other characters.
* ''Series/MaggieAndBiancaFashionFriends'': The title characters attend the Fashion Academy. Ironically, Maggie (the middle-class girl) fits the trope more than Bianca (the rich daughter of a fashion entrepreneur). While Bianca cares about being stylish, she only attends the Fashion Academy because she's forced by her father and does ''not'' want a career in fashion (unlike Maggie), because her real secret dream is being a singer.
* ''Series/TheNanny'': Fran Fine, the titular character, is as well known for her amazing fashion as her [[CuteButCacophonic nasal voice]]. Her outfits range from the eye-catching (a dress made of candy wrappers) to the outlandish (a floor-length faux fur coat in bright orange) to the truly bizarre (a dress that resembles a brick wall), but they're always extremely chic. Fran frequently discusses shopping for the best available deals at department stores, and one episode reveals that Todd Oldham, a real-life fashion designer, is her cousin and gives her free outfits ("How do you think a nanny could afford to dress the way I do?").
* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Wealthy Miss Enright, Miss Brooks' rival, is always impeccably dressed.

Once she can afford it, she starts dressing absolutely beautifully, which makes some of her opponents dismiss her, thinking someone so feminine and glamorous couldn't possibly be a formidable chess player. They are quickly proven ''very'' wrong. Part of Beth's love of nice clothes stems from the fact that she grew up in an orphanage where she only had one dress, and even after being adopted, didn't have that many outfits and was bullied for it at school. After she starts making money, she treats herself to a new wardrobe to celebrate moving ahead.
* ''Series/RedDwarf'': The Cat:
-->'''Cat:''' (''being made to scrub the floor'') Aw, look at my hands! I had lovely hands!\\
'''Lister:''' Well, wear the smegging gloves!\\
'''Cat:''' Marigold with blue? Are you crazy?
* ''Series/SchittsCreek'': Moira, David, and Alexis all sport high-end designer looks that were purchased before the family went bankrupt.
%% * ''Series/SexAndTheCity'': Carrie.

* ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'': Raven Baxter herself lacks supermodel proportions but fashion design is her passion and she makes most of her own clothing. The plots of several episodes revolve around her interest in fashion and making it a career.

* ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'': Caroline is trendy and loves fashion.
%% ** Katherine as well.
* ''Series/{{Velvet}}'': Many of the female characters. Unsurprising since the show takes place at a high end fashion house.
* ''Series/TheWestWing'': C.J. has trouble being taken seriously as a female White House press secretary (people either focus on how she looks rather than what she's saying or assume ''she'' does that).
* ''Series/TheWilds'': Nobody can argue Fatin's not constantly concerned with her looks. She's always seen in the most flattering possible clothing, plus makeup.
* ''Series/TheWire'':
** D'Angelo Barksdale is shown to take a long time picking his outfit every day, with his then-girlfriend Shardene even teasing him about taking longer than most women. He also stops to change clothes before driving to New York for a pick-up while the police wait outside.
** Bunk Moreland is rarely seen out of his pinstripe suit, only once showing up in sweatpants and an old lacrosse t-shirt out of protest. He also knows a lot about different designers.
--->'''Jimmy:''' You know how they call a guy who pays that much attention to his clothes, do you?\\
'''Bunk:''' Yeah, an adult.
** Ziggy Sobotka wants to impress people with his $2000 Italian leather jacket, but gets mostly laughed at.

[[folder:Music]]
* Music/ASAPRocky dubbed himself "the fashion killa" on his debut studio album, and has worked with different fashion houses and is close friends with designer Raf Simmons.

[[folder:Podcasts]]
* ''Podcast/BrimstoneValleyMall'': Asmoraius is ''very'' proud of his flamboyant clothing and makeup, opting for elaborate Victorian styles that make him look like he walked out of a Gothic romance novel, and then immediately went clubbing. He's less than enthused that his boyfriend's clothing choices consist entirely of polo shirts.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* Wrestling/DaffneyUnger loves all kinds of clothing, and if she can't get her hands on something she'll replicate it. She has a particular affinity for hats and an especial one for top hats, especially if they are tiny.
* [[Wrestling/AngelinaLove Angel Williams]] is when it comes to footwear. Lady Victoria's website has a FootFocus video of nothing but Williams showing off shoes, sandals, flip flops, and such of all kinds and she had many types of boots when running with Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople and La Sociedad. During this time her old finishing moves were phased out for a bicycle kick, apparently since she wouldn't be wearing any out for awhile.
* Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart is similar to Williams but with a more narrow focus on shoes in particular. According to Wrestling/NaomiKnight, Neidhart is a collector, which Knight brought up when she noticed Neidhart coveting the shoes she was wearing.
* La Morena is Puerto Rico's queen of fashion, although the size of her wardrobe might not be that big, as there is no telling [[ActionFashionista just how many outfits she has ruined]].
* A big part of the GirlyBruiser celebrity hanger-on image of Wrestling/{{Melina}} Perez is her constantly shifting wardrobe, the only consistencies being something representing her Mexican pride in rotation. She is a former beauty queen, so glamour comes naturally.
* Maxwell Chicago is a male example concerning suits, which he loves so much he'll even wrestle matches in them. Wrestling/TylerBlack too, though not enough to wear his formal wear in the ring.
* "The Feisty Fashion Plate" Calvin Couture spends much of his day thumbing through Vogue magazine and the Hollywood press, looking for new things to dress in. He aims to bring trendy fashion back to the pro wrestling scene [[SmallNameBigEgo and not a month into his rookie year]] claimed that anyone who didn't embrace that was just jealous! "Jealousy is a disease, get well soon!"
* Devin Carter, The Fashionista who always goes big, whether it's going for a wrestling title belt or whether it's dressing to impress. That's what he says anyway, but he's frequently been caught "unprepared" in plain t shirts. Still, he does have quite the impressive clothing collection, when he expects to be able to show it off.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' has roving fashion consultant Gracie, a giraffe. Gracie will judge your clothing in some of the games, and in all games, she provides the player with her signature clothing line. She is depicted as having overall very expansive tastes.
* ''VideoGame/AvengersAcademy'' has Janet Van Dyne[=/=]The Wasp as this in a more pronounced from than the comics. Here she's also a fashion designer and also opens her own clothing store on campus.
%% * Barbie in ''VideoGame/BarbieSuperModel'' is one.
* In ''VideoGame/ChicoryAColorfulTale'': Oats' only interest is the newest fashion trends, and they give Pizza riddles on what clothing combos to wear so they can [[AndYourRewardIsClothes reward them with more clothes.]]
* ''VideoGame/{{D4}}'' Duncan's hair is a green swirly cone, and he brings a mannequin named "Sukey" everywhere he goes and dresses her up just like him.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** ''Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaTriforceHeroes'' is set in Hytopia, a kingdom where fashion is SeriousBusiness (even more so than in RealLife). Princess Styla is widely regarded as the most stylish fashionista in a kingdom of fashionistas. Her being cursed to wear a drab set of tights that cannot be removed is thus a FateWorseThanDeath for her. The rest of the kingdom is also grief-stricken. The heroes' task is to find a way to remove the awful onesie so that Styla can go back to wearing trendsetting outfits.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom'' has Cece. The older sister of Sophie (the latter of whom was first seen in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''), she's a flamboyantly-dressed woman who had been travelling abroad to research various clothing styles before returning home to Hateno Village to turn it into a fashion hub. Many Hylians in both Hateno and elsewhere can be seen wearing the mushroom-themed outfits she has inspired. This all leads to tension between her and Mayor Reede, who thinks the fashion craze is distracting from Hateno's traditional agricultural focus.
* In ''VideoGame/MarvelAvengersAlliance'', one of the [[SetBonus Team-Up Bonuses]] you can get is "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Fashionistas]]".

%% * Ivy from ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFriendshipGardens''.
* Several latter-day ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' Gym Leaders have side jobs in the fashion industry, which is reflected in their appearance and dialogue. [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Elesa]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Nessa]] are models, [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Valerie]] is a designer (and, according to [[ShowWithinAShow a television documentary on her]], a former model), and [[VideoGame/PokemonScarletandViolet Tulip]] dounle-shifts as a make-up artist and model.
* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'': Oshare Bones is a rare male example. He talks about fashion -- be it his clothes or other peoples' taste in clothing -- more than just about anything else, and one story scene in ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoFever2'' has his rambling on about the subject enough to confuse the current player character, Amitie.
* Strea, from the ''VideoGame/SwordArtOnline'' video game continuity, is very skilled in sewing, which she puts to good use by making many kinds of clothes for all the girls (from uniforms and costumes to lingerie). She even made a machine in one of the games that auto-generate costumes!
%% *''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'': Rita can get this as a title completing the Hot springs sidequest. For doing this YourRewardIsClothes.
* ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'': One of the oldest examples is Yuko Asahina. This makes her one of the most special girls in the cast, as the secret to romancing her is for dates to take her to the trendiest places or shows of the moment for massive RelationshipValues.
* Shiki from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' has a talent for sewing and mentions bringing to life the designs of her friend Eri. She serves as a contrast to protagonist Neku who professes no knowledge of trends or fashion and barely notices damage to his own clothing. Although by ''damage'', Shiki means "one of your buttons is slightly coming off."
* One of Emilia's background traits in ''VideoGame/YggdraUnion''; literally almost every item she ever uses is an ElegantGothicLolita-inspired accessory or jewelry that she's personally made.

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'': Junko Enoshima is a very famous [[GyaruGirl kogal]] model known for her extravagant tastes and she has this as her Ultimate title.

* ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'' gives an unusual example in Lauren. While she is poor, she can also modify her clothes to make them more stylish.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Nicole}}'': The titular character is very interested in fashion. She has a number of different outfits that she wears throughout the game, and she expresses genuine distress at the ugly uniform she's expected to wear at work.

* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'': The demon Gaap is an avid fan of [[UsefulNotes/LolitaFashion Lolita fashions]] in particular.

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* In ''Webcomic/AskWhitePearlAndStevenAlmostAnything'', Steven possesses an interest in fashion, in contrast to the [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse canon]] Steven's LimitedWardrobe.
* In ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'', surprisingly enough, [[spoiler:Zenith's original personality]] turns out to be one, immediately insisting on giving the entire cast a "makeoverhaul". While she is very good at it, unfortunately, she [[LogicBomb doesn't take well]] to misinformation-induced errors...
* Mr. R from ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest''. As Royal Couturier of the Flower Kingdom, he's essentially the most fashionable man in the world. As such, he wears [[http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-531/ both men's and women's styles]], combining an elegant black/purple suit with a pink fringe and pumps, both complemented by his purple nails and lipstick.
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has Tarvek Sturmvoraus, who was [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091125 "doodling girls and clockwork"]] supposedly instead of his training. As [[WordOfGod Kaja Foglio]] comments [[http://girlgeniuscomic.livejournal.com/160996.html later]] -- "Yes, Sturmvoraus is apparently a house of evil [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110912 fashion]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110914 designers."]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090309 While slipping into feverish delirium,]] he promised to make her "the ''envy of Paris!''" Then he [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120924 proposed]] an improvement over the hereditary "[[MiniMecha battle armor]]" of his sweetheart:
-->'''Agatha:''' Better? It's a two-ton mobile armored ''death knight suit''. What could make it ''better?''\\
'''Tarvek:''' ...nicer curves? In ''green?''
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': Kanaya has this as one of her defining character traits. It stands out especially because her species [[PlanetOfHats isn't interested in fashion whatsoever.]] She is the only troll to start out with multiple different outfits (that she made herself) and whenever anyone wants some sewing done she is the go-to-troll for that.
* ''Webcomic/M9Girls'': Karla designs fancy [[MiniDressOfPower costumes]] for the M9 Girls after they gain superpowers, as she reasons that they have to be heroines in style.
%% * WholesomeCrossdresser Tip from ''Webcomic/SkinHorse''.
* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Outrageous Lemon is by far the most fashionable {{magical girl}} of her team -- were it not for her teammates' EdibleThemeNaming, her choice of title would have been Outrageous Fashion. Her magical girl costume takes heavy cues from both ElegantGothicLolita and punk fashion, and her magical girl power allows her to [[MasterOfThreads manipulate long strips of lace fabric]] in battle. She's even [[NonUniformUniform modified her standard Future's Promise uniform]] to include a slightly puffier skirt with frills. Somewhat ironically, given her interests, Lemon herself can't actually sew.

[[folder:Western Animation]]

%% * ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'': The Fashion Club
* ''WesternAnimation/GirlstuffBoyStuff'': Although the LimitedWardrobe makes it hard to tell, Hanna is this. "Cha Ching" has [[GoodAngelBadAngel a devilish Hanna appearing on Simon's shoulder to tempt him to buy]].

* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'': The fourth season introduced The Fashionistas, a trio of fashion-obsessed criminals who helped [[{{Humanshifting}} Camille Leone]] steal the new designs from Club Banana to create their own knock-offs, and framed Kim for the theft.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'': The Crust Cousins wear some sort of bizarre new outfit in (almost) every episode they appear in.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', Rarity is a producer of clothes rather than a consumer.

As a result, most of her episodes focus heavily on her efforts to succeed as a fashionista and often deal with the business end of the job, usually contrasting her with aristocrats or cutthroat competitors who embody the stereotypes more closely.

%% * ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'': The Ashleys.
%% * ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'': Bunnie Rabbot

[[folder:Real Life]]
%% * Creator/ElizabethTaylor
* Socialite Daphne Guinness is known for her daring style, sartorial wit, and willingness to wear super high-end fashions that most people would assume only belonged in magazines or on runways. She was a key inspiration for the character of Moira on ''Series/SchittsCreek''.
* UsefulNotes/MarieAntoinette was supposedly a huge fan of fashion in her day, making her dressmaker, Rose Bertin, a celebrity of sorts.
* WWE's Natalya was initially portrayed as a tomboy but that got dropped since she's not like that in real life at all. Just [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzK6489Zo7M look at her shoe collection.]]
* Creator/{{Peyton List|1998}}, who plays the aforementioned Emma in ''Jessie'', is this in real life. It was mentioned in an interview that Emma's original wardrobe prior to her being hired was cute but standard compared to Peyton herself. As a result, the wardrobe people used Peyton's own style to help make Emma more of a true fashionista. They sometimes collaborate on Peyton's clothes with the wardrobe choices for Emma to create even more outfits.
* Music/DongBangShinKi: All of them could count - but that comes with the territory of being a KPop star. PrettyBoy Jaejoong, however, usually takes it [[https://starlovemelody.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/jaejoong-style_joonghana.jpg to the next level]] when it comes to his outfits.
* Music/{{Rihanna}} is well-known as a style icon in fashion circles for her cutting edge sense of style and appreciation for couture. She's been crowned "Fashion Icon of the Year" by the Council of Fashion Designers of America and has her own ranges with Puma and Chopard.

Her uncanny ability to mix high and low fashion earned her a fashion retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
* [[UsefulNotes/TsarTsarAutocrats Empress Elizabeth of Russia]] allegedly had twenty thousand dresses left behind her upon death. It is said that she always had first dibs on any fabric imported into the Russian Empire, and in case of particularly good stuff, she would sometimes buy it to the last thread in order to avoid DressesTheSame.
