* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Agatha Heterodyne pulls it off [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090605 in prudish steampunk victorian style.]] This a joke about Foglio's [[BleachedUnderpants past work with actual cartoon sex]]. Rather than a Playboy Bunny, though, it is more a full-body bunny suit and it's not revealing at all... at least until a few panels later where Zeetha has a slightly less prude version.

* ''VideoGame/BlueArchive'' gives this costume to the girls of Millennium's C&C club. Karin wears an all-black ensemble with fishnets, Akane and Asuna both wear sheer pantyhose and white high heels (Akane's outfit is all-white while Asuna sports a teal corset and dark pantyhose), and Neru sports a red outfit with no visible hosiery.

* In ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'', while trying to find jobs, Panty and Stocking end up as bunny girls for a casino. When the two decide to quit and determine where to go elsewhere for employment, Brief (somehow) ends up in the Bunny costume Panty was wearing [[FunnyBackgroundEvent for the rest of that scene]].

The Playboy Bunny... a sexy costume popularized by the Magazine/{{Playboy}} Club, composed of a [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]] (color varying, though often black or [[PinkIsErotic pink]], and typically with plenty of cleavage), [[AnimalEaredHeadband fake bunny ears]], a collar with a bowtie, cuffs, a fluffy tail (usually made of cotton), some [[StockingFiller hose or stockings]] (usually fishnets), and high heels. The choice of animal comes from rabbits' reputations for being {{Explosive Breeder}}s, thus implicitly equating the costume with promiscuity.

For whatever reason, any female character could end up in this costume. Most often the pretext is quite flimsy, as it is hard to pretend that this is anything but {{Fanservice}}. Mainly seen in {{Anime}} and {{Manga}}; not absent from Western works but rarer, precisely because Playboy had a trademark for a long time on this particular outfit, and American intellectual property laws are a little stricter than in Japan. Oddly enough, the "anyone could end up in one" part applies ''even more'' in regards to [[TheMerch official merchandise]], with many characters who never wear it in-show still getting an official Playboy Bunny-clad artwork or figurine (or multiple).

* More future celebrities who worked as Bunnies: [[Music/{{Blondie}} Debbie Harry]], '70s supermodel Lauren Hutton, actress [[Series/TwinPeaks Sherilyn Fenn]]... and [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Magenta]].

* ''Anime/{{Kanokon}}'': episode 4: Chizuru puts on a Bunny Girl outfit to try to attract Kouta, but soon finds that the costume does not come off, and is also a demon capable of controlling clothing. Said demon soon proceeds to use Chizuru's body to fly through the school [[InstantCosplaySurprise changing the clothes of every girl along the way]], gaining control of their outfits as well. (Some costumes include [[{{Miko}} Shrine Maiden]], Policewoman, Nun, and China Girl.) Later on, the demon uses this as a counter to the attack from a wind user by destroying the clothing of every girl but Chizuru, since the demon is Chizuru's outfit.

* The girls from ''Manga/LuckyStar'' have eventually [[http://abload.de/img/a44d482f888db63714c60bxunp.jpg spoofed the picture]] of the females of ''Suzumiya Haruhi'' as bunny girls.

* Youtuber WebVideo/DougDoug was pestered into wearing a bunny suit for about a year by his Twitch Chat, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyvCv1bkB5c and only caved in]] when they managed to donate $25k to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on Rosa the sea otter's 23rd birthday. Hilariously, his friend Parkzer wore a silly inflatable bunny suit alongside what Doug described as a "diaper" of a bunny suit.

* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'':
** This is Shiage Hamazura's fetish. It's so bad that Saiai holding a stuffed rabbit behind Rikou, thus making it look like Rikou has bunny ears, is enough to give Shiage a {{Nosebleed}}.
** During the Agitate Halation Arc, Touma is treated to the surreal sight of a girl wearing this outfit plus a BrownBagMask. The narrative refers to her as "Paper Bag Bunny Girl". She tries to kill him on sight with a device that resembles a naginata and sprays water with enough force to slice through metal, but he quickly escapes.

* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'': Mikuru Asahina gets [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl forced into wearing one]] by Haruhi in order to drum up publicity for the SOS Brigade. Haruhi puts one on as well, and she wears it again in the iconic anime episode "Live Alive", performing the song [[AwesomeMusic/HaruhiSuzumiya "God Knows"]] in it. There's also official art with [[http://abload.de/img/7a6652165a43118afcda03ek2n.png all the girls wearing Bunny outfits!]] Even Kyon's little sister. There are even figurines of the girls in bunny outfits (mostly Haruhi, of course).

* In ''Literature/RascalDoesNotDreamOfBunnyGirlSenpai'', Mai Sakurajima finds that seemingly everyone is ignoring her, so she eventually starts walking around in public in a Playboy Bunny outfit to try to get people to notice her. It turns out that due to something called Adolescence Syndrome, nobody can see or hear her and their memories of her get erased. Her eventual love interest Sakuta Azusagawa is able to see her, and one time she wears the outfit again for his benefit when she helps him studying.

* ''VideoGame/RabiRibi'' has the protagonist Erina dressed like this. Some members of the bunny-obsessed group UPRPRC also are dressed like this.

** During the Agitate Halation Arc, Touma is treated to the surreal sight of a girl wearing this outfit plus a BrownBagMask. The narrative refers to her as "Paper Bag Bunny Girl". She tries to kill him on sight with a device that resembles a [[BladeOnAStick naginata]] and sprays water with enough force to slice through metal, but he quickly escapes.

* ''LightNovel/{{Kanokon}}'' anime, episode 4: Chizuru puts on a Bunny Girl outfit to try to attract Kouta, but soon finds that the costume does not come off, and is also a demon capable of controlling clothing. Said demon soon proceeds to use Chizuru's body to fly through the school [[InstantCosplaySurprise changing the clothes of every girl along the way]], gaining control of their outfits as well. (Some costumes include [[{{Miko}} Shrine Maiden]], Policewoman, Nun, and China Girl.)

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'':

* Misty May from ''Anime/OtakuNoVideo''. Her Bunny costume may be non-standard, with HighClassGloves and [[BareYourMidriff an exposed midriff]], but still fits the trope.

* ''Anime/Persona4GoldenTheAnimation'': Rise and [[MrFanservice Kanji]] don sexy bunny outfits during episode 4 as part of a mock Japanese quiz show.

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* Inverted and subverted by Jessica Rabbit in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', as her husband actually IS a rabbit but she dresses like a nightclub singer.
