* "WesternAnimation/GravityFalls": Wendy Corduroy, who has very long, very red hair, is extremely pretty, and has attracted the interest of both the protagonist, Dipper, and his SitcomArchNemesis Robbie

* Kasumi from "VideoGame/DeadOrAlive" was the sex-symbol postergirl for the infamously-sexy fighting game series for its first several games for a reason, and her being a beautiful Japanese ninja with striking, exotic red hair was a lot of it. There are other very-attractive women in the cast who fit more classical East Asian beauty standards with dark hair, like Lei Fang and Kokoro, but almost all of them got passed over for the advertising (with Nyotengu being the eventual exception).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': In a setting where nearly everyone is brunet, the appropriately named Ginger is a beautiful red headed actress used as DamselInDistress propaganda InUniverse by Varrick. Bolin plays her {{Love Interest|s}} Nuktuk and becomes attracted to out of character, Ginger [[{{Tsundere}} doesn’t return his affection at first but warms up]] to Bolin and even gives him a BigDamnKiss at one point.

* The prevalence of redheaded heroines, villainesses and love interests in superhero comics is neatly summed up by [[http://d13pix9kaak6wt.cloudfront.net/background/dulcedereyes_1358734018_23.jpg this image]], showing [[ComicBook/Gen13 Caitlin Fairchild]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]], ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}, [[Characters/TheInhumans Medusa]], [[Characters/BatmanPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]], [[Characters/TeenTitansStarfire Starfire]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsMystique Mystique]], Characters/{{Batgirl}}, [[ComicBook/XFactor2006 Siryn]], [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends Firestar]], and [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]].

* ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'': Parodied in one story where BettyAndVeronica come at Archie demanding whether he prefers blondes (i.e. Betty) or brunettes (Veronica). He (rather wisely) [[TakeAThirdOption tries to dodge the unwinnable question by picking redheads]]--as in ''himself'', comparing redheaded ''men'' favorably to blond and brunet men (respectively DumbBlond Moose and untrustworthy Reggie).

-->''"Well brunettes are fine man\\

I'll take a red headed woman!"''
* In Music/DollyParton's "Jolene", the eponymous temptress is described as a incomparable beauty, with "flamin' locks of auburn hair", who has bewitched the hapless speaker's husband. She's got [[SignificantGreenEyedRedhead green eyes]] to boot.

And a redheaded girl."''

* Morty of ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' has the hots for Jessica, a redhead in his math class. Rick himself also has a thing for redheads, getting his old HiveMind fling to organize an orgy with all the hottest redheads it can control. It reached near-memetic proportions in Season 3, where all 3 women that Morty chases after detoxifying are redheads. In addition, "Morty Mind Blowers" showed that Morty once used one of Rick's devices to attract women, all are redheads.
* ''WesternAnimation/SanjayAndCraig'': His crush, Belle Pepper, has reddish-orange hair. He's very fond of this particular feature of hers; in "Middle Shame" he shouts "Belle Pepper is a cutie and I wanna kiss her hair!" while on Craig's boat in the latter's secret spot on a lake. In other episodes like "Ghost Pool" and "Dangerous Debbie", he's seen nuzzling up warmly against her hair.

Compare FieryRedhead; the two tropes may overlap if the redhead's feisty personality also adds to her allure. Contrast RedheadsAreUncool and RedheadedStepchild, who are ostracized redheads.

As a result, red is very frequently the hair color of choice for {{femme fatale}}s, seductresses, and [[MsFanservice other bombshells]] of note, especially if they're contrasted with a more modest blonde or brunette. Even if the character is not particularly sexual, their red ''hair'' might still be considered sexy or otherwise a factor in their good looks, especially if the rarity and historical associations of the color are noted. A disproportionate number of characters will mention [[HasAType they have a thing for]] redheads... though this trope skews towards flame-haired females. Redheaded ''men'' tend to be portrayed as [[RedheadsAreUncool uncool losers]] instead.

%%* Music/NeilYoung's "Cinnamon Girl" is about how
%%* Music/BruceSpringsteen's "Red-Headed Woman". Dedicated to/inspired by Patti Scalfa, no doubt.

* Music/RichardThompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning".

Red hair has attracted much attention due to its rarity. [[EvilRedhead One very old perception is that they're associated with evil]] -- and because [[TheseTropesAreEvilAndSexy sexuality and evil/deviance often go hand in hand]], a link between red hair and perceived sexuality emerged.

Proposed scope:
* Character notes that a character's red hair is part of what makes them good looking
* (clarify scope with HasAType for characters who date a lot of redheads)
* Red hair = sexy stereotype is lampshaded/discussed/conversed
* Redheaded character is beautiful/sexy/seductive compared to non-redheads


Description goes here

* ''Art/HylasAndTheNymphs'': The seductive naiads notably all have auburn hair, which adds to their allure and starkly [[RedGreenContrast contrasts]] with the nature surrounding them.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': In a setting where nearly everyone is brunet, the appropriately named Ginger is a beautiful red headed actress whose used as DamselInDistress propaganda InUniverse by Varrick. Bolin plays her {{Love Interest|s}} Nuktuk and becomes attracted to out of character, Ginger [[{{Tsundere}} doesn’t return his affection at first but warms up]] to Bolin and even gives him a BigDamnKiss at one point.
