* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has Rarity, a fashion designer who fights many monster and villains with her friends, including teen dragons who would hurt her little [[MamaBear Spikey-Wikey]]. One particular moment of note is the fighting montage in the season 2 finale episode. Of all of the Mane Six who are fighting the Changelings, Rarity is the only one visibly taking some satisfaction out of punching one in the jaw. Rarity apparently knows some form of martial arts, as she often assumes a vague stance when about to physically fight. It's most noticeable when she's threatening teenage dragons that are about to hurt Spike:

* Britanny Elin Diggers from ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'': is a mall rat supreme, and a RunningGag throughout the series is her (and her sisters) running ''multi-million dollar'' credit cards ''completely dry'' and having to perform her adventures (at least partially) to pay the banks. Of all three sisters she's the one that mostly wastes money on clothes (also at least partially justified because being an ActionGirl ClothingDamage happens to her ''very'' often).

** Her teammate Erza (the page image) does this with suits of armor. Not only does her magic involve switching between magic armors depending on the situation, she even has her non-magical clothes tailored by a popular fashion brand. The (ordinary) armor she usually wears is also designed by the same brand- normally they don't do armor, but Erza asked nicely and she had big magic swords.

* Emiliano Zapata, the agrarian revolutionary of UsefulNotes/TheMexicanRevolution, ''loved'' fancy clothes. Contrary to the romantic post-revolution leftist image of him as an ascetic peasant revolutionary, he was personally reasonably well-off, and had disposable income that he used to buy intricately-embroidered pants, shirts, and boots in the ''charro'' style of the Mexican countryside. He wore all of this into battle given the slightest provocation--a stark contrast with his comrade-in-arms Pancho Villa, who only cared what he was wearing when the cameras were rolling. Zapata was not, however, any kind of AgentPeacock; as shown by his [[MagnificentMoustachesOfMexico magnificent moustache]], he was every inch the macho Mexican man--just one who cared a lot about his cool clothes. It also goes almost without saying that he was one of the most effective military commanders of the revolution, and was only defeated after being tricked.
