Yes, this is one of the good endings.
Quinn: So you'll do it?
Daria: Right after I change into my fur bikini.
(Tom smiles at this) Quinn: Daria!
(Quinn storms out of the room) Tom: Hmm, maybe you should make it easy. Give the poor kids a break.
Daria: I lied about the fur bikini.
Tom: Damn!
A
two piece bikini, or some close variant, that is covered, trimmed, and/or lined with fur (either real or
fake), or even
feathers. Usually considered
extremely sexy.
It's an uncommon, but highly pleasing costume. And unless it's heavily adorned, it's a bit more usable than a typical
Impractically Fancy Outfit.
Could count if there is just fur trimming. In this case if the bikini is red, and the fur is white, it overlaps a little with
Sexy Santa Dress (or even some
Happy Holidays Dresses).
Everyday wear for a
Nubile Savage. If you are a
Jungle Princess, this is your
Ermine Cape.
This trope even avoids a
Double Standard, as men can have
Loin Cloths, the favorite impractical outfit for northern barbarians across the realms of fantasy.
Sometimes the wearer also has a
Feather Boa Constrictor.
A
Sub Trope of
Pretty in Mink.
A
Sister Trope to
Seashell Bra,
Going Fur a Swim (when the bikini and fur are separate garments),
Fur Is Clothing (in which a
Funny Animal has removable fur, which might result in this trope).

Black Bra and Panties,

Sexy Santa Dress,

- Felicia in Darkstalkers.
- See the pic for the Trope Co — Cat Girl page (done by an artist named Naritaya, who later went pro with the Alice Soft ero-ren'ai game company and removed most of his art from the web).

Films — Live-Action
- One of the most famous is Raquel Welch's Nubile Savage outfit in One Million Years BC, even though it's more hides than fur. As a side note, the ads for the film even said "Raquel Welch wears MANKINDS'S FIRST BIKINI!"
- One of Jane Fonda's outfits in Barbarella.
- When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth has this as one for former playmate Victoria Vetri of its drawing points. The other being Dinosaurs.
- The Ringo Starr comedy Caveman had future wife Barbara Bach in one — "good girl" character Shelly Long was more conservatively dressed.
- Publicity shots for the film Love Happy shows Marilyn Monroe in an ermine bikini: Full View
◊, Closeup 1◊, Closeup 2◊. This wasn't in the actual film, but publicity exclusive outfits were actually pretty common for films.
Literature
- The Sky People by S.M Stirling. Teesa of the Cloud Mountain People, much to the appreciation of Earth explorers on Venus.
- In Warrior Wolf Women Of The Wasteland, all the women are turning into wolves (for complicated reasons), and their fur tends to develop irregularly. One of them, November, thus has a fur bikini completely incidentally, although she seems to be unique amongst the named characters in this regard.

- Ayla from Chrono Trigger. Hardly a surprise, as she's essentially a blonde answer to Raquel Welch. Notably, whatever she skinned for the thing had a tail, and she just left it on.
- The Pixies in Monster Rancher probably have the Petting Zoo People variant. Don't know if it's ever stated if their fur bikinis are part of their body, or just clothing.
- The tiger bikini in Secret of Mana.
- Monica's optional Panther Bikini in Dark Cloud 2. If you walk her into a corner, the camera looks down her cleavage.
