Karina of the K-Pop group aespa. The group's stylists and choreography often focus on her slender yet curvy body, and her fancams in particular have become popular for her natural bounciness.
Amaranthe's Elize Ryd is not shy about showing skin or playing up her body in videos and live performances; a lot of videos verge on Three Minutes of Writhing. In the music video for "Invincible", Elize gets a Sexy Surfacing Shot when she emerges from a pool, with an absurd amount of Male Gaze on her body parts.
Dutch-born singer Amber was known to play up the fanservice in her performances. One of her best-known music videos is "Sexual (Li Da Di)", which starts with her going to sleep in the nude and then wearing just a Modesty Bedsheet for the rest of the song, as she poses seductively in bed.
Anne-Sophie Mutter achieved success and fame as a (hot) violinist. Ofra Harnoy was Mutter's equivalent on the cello.note Nicola Benedetti is Scotland's answer to Anne-Sophie Mutter. A disproportionately high number of gifted young female instrumentalists in classical music are incredibly hot, whereas their male counterparts tend to exist on more of a spectrum from OK-looking to handsome. Also, it's interesting to note that quite a lot of older women virtuosi, such as Martha Argerich, were very hot when they were younger. This is not because in classical music you can go very far on looks alone, because you can't, at least not if you're a real classical musician (as opposed to a crossover singer.) It's because hot young women musicians get a lot more publicity than less hot young women musicians, and indeed young male musicians, and with more publicity comes more exposure and more opportunities. As young musicians get older, the way they're represented changes: between her early teens◊ and early twenties◊, the violinist Chloe Hanslip very much got given a Fanservice Pack.
The Brazilian break-out popstar Anitta is probably just as well known for being a sex symbol as she is for her music. Many of her videos and performances feature her in fanservice outfits and involve Shaking the Rump.
Ariana Grande tends to wear outfits that show off her body and legs. While she is always attractive, she is especially this trope in the music videos for "Love Me Harder" and "Dangerous Woman" because of the way she looks and moves in those videos.
Band-Maid is an all-girl band that dresses like maids. This naturally happens.
The song "Sin Pijama" by the American-Mexican Becky G and the Dominican Natti Natasha they wear black swimsuits and they dance in a very sexy manner much to eye candy. The same thing also applies with "Ram Pam Pam" by the same duo.
Beyoncé was the first musician to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated (in 2007)◊, and her earlier work in particular included sexy dancing and revealing outfits. She is widely regarded as a sex symbol.
The Australian/British all-female string quartet Bond, known just as much for their skimpy dresses as they were for their music (which was essentially pop/classical crossover).
Britney Spears started off with a "sexy schoolgirl" persona that contrasted sex appeal with aspects of The Ingenue. Later in her career, she fully embraced the sexy aspect as her stage persona and outfits heavily depended on her revealing outfits, gyrating dancing, and sexually charged lyrics. Because of this she's something of a poster child for the Hotter and Sexier trend in pop music in the 00's. Her famous fanservice moment is her music video "Womanizer" where she is fully nude for most of it, save for some Hand-or-Object Underwear and Censor Steam.
The heavy metal band Butcher Babies is fronted by two very attractive women (Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey), whose stage outfits tend to be rather Stripperiffic. Initially they performed completely topless apart from some tape over their nipples. After a few years they grew tired of this and started wearing (rather skimpy) shirts on stage.
Cardi B is a Proud Beauty who often boast about her sex appeal in her songs. She also shows quite a lot of skin in some music videos, such as "Money", which has a gratuitous Toplessness from the Back shot as she plays the piano.
Carly Rae Jepsen often wears cropped tops and short shorts. In the "Call Me Maybe" video, she has a Fanservice Car Wash scene in short shorts and a thin white tank top in an attempt to catch the eye of the next-door neighbor, who amusingly ignores her.
Natalie Horler of Cascada. She's hot the way she is, but then when you take into consideration the lingerie she routinely wears on tours, and the music videos with her NOT WEARING PANTS, the "imagination" runs wild.
Cher. While her sex symbol status during the '70s and '80s has been firmly established, the Fanservice Cover photos of her on her 1979 album 'Prisoner', almost completely nude save for Godiva Hair and strategically placed arms, cemented this status.
Cher Lloyd. Her music videos are rife with this, thanks to her dress styles.
Bassist Doris Yeh of Taiwanese metal band Chthonic is known for being a Perky Goth and a Raven Hair, Ivory Skin beauty to the point she was once ranked as one of "Hottest Chicks in Metal of All Time". She soon became the band's most recognizable member and even began to work as a model who appeared on the cover of different magazines in Taiwan and in the rest of the world.
Delain's Charlotte Wessels. When she's not wearing a corset, she is liable to wear midriff-baring and/or see-through tops, the latter frequently with Navel-Deep Neckline.
Veronica Varlow, one of the Bloody Crumpets, is a burlesque dancer who has the most revealing of the Bloody Crumpets' costumes and will kiss muffins (EA fans), most notably during the "Rat Game" which is mostly her kissing a muffin on stage.
Simone Simons of Epica. Aside from appearing naked (albeit tastefully in an allusion to the Eve character in Garden of Eden story) in the cover artwork of their "The Divine Conspiracy" album, just watch the music video for Kamelot's "The Haunting," wherein she guest-stars.
The The Go-Go's are prone to having Fanservice Covers with all five members, such as "Beauty and the Beat" having them all in Modesty Towels. They even once appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone in 1982 in nothing but T-shirts and panties.
Halsey favors tight jeans and tank tops for performances, has done at least one shoot for Playboy, and has a tradition of grinding during the second chorus of her hit single, "Hold Me Down". In "If I Can't Have Love I Want Power" she isn't shy at all in portraying herself sexually, which includes her wearing very low-cut gowns along with showing full frontal nudity on multiple occasions (once while heavily pregnant), since its themes explore the Madonna-Whore Complex and her character is rebelling against convention that as a mother she has to be non-sexual. The uncensored version of the album's cover also features her with one breast exposed while she's cradling her baby (this however harkens back to the painting featuring Mary with Jesus which inspired the story).
Hippie/space rock band Hawkwind played shamelessly on the charms of their stage dancer Stacia, whose role in the band was effectively to dance to the music, in a spaced-out stoned kind of way, and take her clothes off. As she was over six feet tall with an impressive poitrine, this drew many impressionable fans to the front of the stage.
Kwon Eunbi is not shy about showing off her buxom figure in her solo performances. Most notably, she went viral in summer 2023 for her performance at Waterbomb Festival, in which she wore a see-through button down over a bikini top.
Jennifer Lopez. Several songs play up her sex appeal, for example "Get Right", where she's wearing several midriff-exposing outfits and dancing sensually, "Booty" (which is pretty self-explanatory), and "I'm Glad", where she's doing a strip tease on stage in a homage to Flashdance. The green Versace number she wore to the Emmys is still-remembered as one of the sexiest signature looks of the decade.
The Colombian rapper Karol G has examples:
The song "Mi Cama" has Karol taking off her shorts revealing her sexy panties and trying to take off.
The song "GATÚBELA" starts with the girls taking off their panties but not genitalia seen. Karol with her sexy looking red hair and other girls dance with skimpy clothing.
Katy Perry, especially for her tendency to wear skin-tight latex dresses and low-cut tops.
The "California Gurls" music video has a segment where she's lounging on cloud formation, wearing nothing but a pastel-colored wig and a smile.
The music video for "Bon Appétit" features Katy wearing a beige leotard while getting massaged, covered with food in a way similar to Body Sushi, lounging in a hot-tub-like setting, and pole-dancing.
The "Roar" music video has her turning into a Jungle Princess, complete with a Nubile Savage outfit and showering in the wild via an elephant trunk, with a well-placed leaf covering up her nudity.
Free Dominguez from the band Kidneythieves, best seen in the video for Zerospace where she's writhing in a bathtub full of milk.
Kylie Minogue was very innocent at the beginning of her career and It wasn't until her Hotter and Sexier third album "Rhythm Of Love" that she started becoming known as a sex symbol and The Fashionista.
Croatian singer Lidija Bacic (formerly from their series of Pop Idol and also twice seen on the Adriatic country’s Eurovision selection Dora) is notorious for her racy TikTok and Instagram videos and has sometimes sold pinup calendars of herself.
Lucrecia's frontwoman, Albel Nox aka Sukihyde, is a Perky Goth and Cosplay Otaku Girl who often sings while wearing tight clothes that show off her curvy body. She's also covered in tattoos and has several piercings which don't distract from her looks at all.
Madonna especially in the late '80s/early '90s, and especially with the Sex book.
Mariah Carey: In the music video for her song "Honey", she jumps into a pool and emerges from it via a Sexy Surfacing Shot while wearing a revealing swimsuit. At the time, it was considered a Hotter and Sexier moment of sorts for Carey because while she was always a Statuesque Stunner, this marked the first real-time that she moved away from her then well-established conservative image. After that she started playing up her sex appeal more often, such as having a Shower of Love scene in the video for "My All" or Skinny Dipping in the video of "Don't Forget About Us".
Emily Haines, the frontwoman for Canadian band Metric, is known for her gyrating dancing during live shows and outfits that show off her legs.
Miley Cyrus, at least in her "Can't Be Tamed" video. Winged Humanoid girl in black leather leotard and thigh-high boots, who dances around with a bunch of Stripperific guys and girls.
The Old Grey Whistle Test had a 1970 performance with Meatloaf and Karla De Vita, with Karla wearing a filmy black top slashed to below the navel in front and open at both sides. She gets within millimeters of inadvertent exposure several times, but perhaps due to strategic tape never quite gets there.
P!nk slips into this at times, when she's not being a Lad-ette (and sometimes even when she is). "U & Ur Hand" has her in several Stripperific outfits, for instance.
Rihanna is a Head-Turning Beauty who is famous for her sexy and fashionable clothing (once she was crowned the "Fashion Icon of the Year"). Starting from "Disturbia", many of her songs tend to portray her as a Dominatrix.
The video of the song "Despechá" by the Spanish singer Rosalía has her wearing a red bra and short jeans.
Pretty much every instance of Latin American Reggaeton music videos comes to this.
Shania Twain, who was one of the first major Country Music artists to embrace this trope. In particular, she popularized baring your midriff among a whole generation of both country singers and pop stars, a few years before Britney Spears.
SOPHIE was often this. Many of her videos feature her in highly sexualized clothing that left little to the imagination. For promotional photos (and even the odd performance) she often went completely nude/topless.
Tove Lo flashes her breasts at the audience when she performs her song "Talking Body" on stage.
Haim At first it was primarily Este, who often performed in short skirts and always seemed to enjoy the inevitable panty flashes that came with it.
Upon the release of Women in Music Part III, they all began cultivating this:
◊, and her earlier work in particular included sexy dancing and revealing outfits. She is widely regarded as a sex symbol.
