* This is quite common in romantic and classical ballet, usually to denote supernatural characters.
** Odette and her fellow swan maidens wear white tutus in ''Theatre/SwanLake''. Her EvilCounterpart, Odile, wears a black tutu. (Except if the characters are played by separate dancers, in which she will wear a black tutu by the lake, and a white one to the ball.)
** The wilis in ''Theatre/{{Giselle}}'' all wear white dresses. They are the ghosts of girls who have been betrayed or had their hearts broken, and have a nasty habit of dancing men to death in revenge.
** The sylphs in ''Theatre/LaSylphide'' also wear white dresses, but have small, rainbow wings attached to their backs. [[spoiler: When the main sylph dies, her wings fall off.]]
** The shades from ''Theatre/LaBayadere'' wear white tutus, sometimes with a small sash attached to the arm. [[spoiler: This extends to Nikea, especially in the final act where she tries to warn Solor not to marry Gamzatti, and when that fails, she steps in to guide him to the afterlife.]]
** The snowflake fairies in ''Theatre/TheNutcracker'' also count, given they represent snow itself and tend to wear white dresses or tutus, depending on the version.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'''s [[PosthumousCharacter Rose Quartz]], in her every appearance thus far, appears in a full-length white dress. She also has far more shading and highlighting than the other characters, and goes barefoot, further playing up the ethereal appearance. Not only is she a character who gave up her physical form to give birth to Steven, she was [[BigGood the extremely powerful leader]] of a group of magical aliens, as well as a healer.
