She just "forgot" the rest of her clothes.
Nikki: "But before I go, I want to show you my new blouse. (opens coat) Oops, I'm not wearing a blouse."
A woman (or occasionally a guy) is wearing a coat or similar covering, until she is talking to someone she wants to sleep with, or at least distract. Then she opens up and/or drops her covering to show that she's wearing nothing, or next to nothing, underneath. It doesn't matter what the cover is (a trenchcoat, a fur coat, or even a cardigan), or what is worn underneath (underwear, a swimsuit, or is completely nude), as long as nothing else is being worn between them.
Now often this works, but just as often it can fall flat, especially if it's a guy trying this.
A Sub Trope of Ready for Lovemaking.
Depending on the clothes, this can overlap with Black Bra and Panties, Of Corsets Sexy, Diamonds in the Buff, Naked in Mink, Going Fur a Swim, Sexy Discretion Shot, Distracted by the Sexy. Dress Hits Floor is another Sister Trope, but doesn't overlap.
Contrast Defeat by Modesty, Modesty Towel, Wardrobe Malfunction.
Not to be confused with just lifting your shirt or blouse.

- A warped version on The Mask: The Animated Series episode "Flight as a Feather." When Cookie BaBoom (Mayor Tilton's ex-girlfriend — a strip — er "exotic dancer") gets stopped from rushing the City Hall stairs by Mayor Tilton's assistant, Smedley, Cookie flashes Smedley by opening her trenchcoat. One would expect Smedley to be distracted by her naked body. Turns out she's not naked — or rather, she wouldn't be naked until later — what she had hidden under the trenchcoat was two megatons worth of explosions strapped across her hips and breasts like a makeshift bikini.

But when the flashlight goes back to it, the lady has her coat closed!
