* Inverted with Mary Margaret in ''Series/OnceUponATime''. In the first season she was presented as a wholesome school teacher, but still indulged in plenty of flattering clothes - normally by way of the SweaterGirl trope. {{Flanderization}} somehow led to her suddenly dressing extremely conservatively in the fourth season onward - to the point where fans were wondering why the character had become so frumpy. In-universe, she goes from believing she's a young single woman who was born in the real world to learning she's actually married, not only a mother but a grandmother, despite still having the appearance of a young woman, and remembering she's from another world where people dress like it's the Middle Ages.

As the film was shot in chronological order, Robin Tunney joked that the studio was getting worried at how "dowdy" the actresses were in the initial days. But as their witch powers grow, their appearances receive far more care and attention - with more make-up, flattering clothes and attractive hairstyles.

* Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters are commonly mentioned as unattractive (it is {{pantomime}} tradition for the sisters to be played by men after all). In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' they are genuinely unsightly and the stepmother is quite old. Various retellings and adaptations make the sisters cuter - highlighting their ugly personalities rather than their appearance - and the stepmother usually looks much younger. Even in Disney's live action [[{{Film/Cinderella2015}} remake]], the stepmother is portrayed as an attractive redhead, while the sisters are just garishly dressed (the narration saying they were only ugly on the inside). The FairyGodmother is another case; originally envisioned as a sweet grandmotherly type, she's become more of a FairySexy with a PimpedOutDress.

** The evolution of the Thing's monstrous appearance was commented on in ''ComicBook/MarvelTwoInOne'' #50, in which Ben travels to the past to cure himself (not realizing that [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption he'll only create an alternate universe upon doing so]]). [[MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness Upon seeing his early monster form in person]], he thinks to himself, "Holy... was I really that '''''ugly?''''' No wonder I always wanted to throttle Reed!" At the end of the story, he returns to the present and tells Reed that his time-travelling trip wasn't for naught.

** It should be noted that Reed Richards and Johnny Storm also had this, though to a far lesser extent than The Thing. In the first couple of issues, where the comic was still more 1950s sci-fi than 1960s superheroes, the male members of the FF were not that attractive. Reed was gaunt and looked even older than usual, while Johnny was a short, round-faced kid. After they got their superhero costumes in issue #3, both of them gradually gained more "heroic" (i.e. conventionally good-looking) builds and faces.

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsRogue Rogue]]'s appearance during her villain years could be charitably described as "[[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Dazzler_Vol_1_22 women's prison alpha]]." But after her HeelFaceTurn, she seemed to get progressively more attractive as her popularity increased, until she became the sultry SouthernBelle she's known as today (right around the time Jim Lee took over art chores, not-so-coincidentally). This one is at least given an in-story explanation. After the X-Men's rough battle with Nimrod that led to Nightcrawler and Rachel Summers going MIA, Rogue spent all night looking for them, but noticed that she looked like hell when passing a reflective window. Once the stores opened in the morning, she went to the mall for a makeover and liked how she looked. While her new clothes sadly [[DoomedNewClothes didn't last]], she most likely got in the habit of caring more about her appearance from then on.

** Tara was introduced as a somewhat unkempt character, wearing baggy clothes and messy hair constantly in her eyes, used to show her as a ShrinkingViolet. As her character came out of her shell, her wardrobe and hair received more attention, culminating in the MusicalEpisode - where she gets a song about how Willow has helped her come out of her shell, sung while wearing [[OfCorsetsSexy a flattering corset]].

** The Halliwell sisters started the first season out with fairly ordinary and normal clothes and rather plain hairstyles. Phoebe was the pretty one of the sisters, but even she wasn't that fashionable. Season 3 showed the clothes becoming far more fashionable, the girls frequently made up and far more flattering hairstyles. By Season 5, they were incredibly vampy. It's a joke among fans that Alyssa Milano's belly-button deserved top billing in the credits. This is apparently due to ExecutiveMeddling demanding "more skin".

* [[Characters/SupermanLexLuthor Lex Luthor]] started out as a pudgy, middle-aged man usually dressed in plain grey clothes, but slimmed down dramatically around the time he started wearing his purple and green ensemble. After the mid-80's reboot, Lex was once again portrayed as middle-aged and heavyset man, although one always wearing expensive suits, but he once again became slimmer and younger-looking with time. Some more modern versions of Lex have a body rivaling the likes of ''Batman'', because of Lex's pathological need to be the best at everything.
