History Main / SexySilhouette

* ''RODTheTV'' has [[HotLibrarian Yomiko]]'s {{Sexy Silhouette}}s in its opening credits.

* Done in some of the ''LupinIII'' movies - usually with Fujiko.
* ''CowboyBebop'' episode "Black Dog Serenade". Faye Valentine's silhouette is seen behind a shower curtain while she is taking a shower.

* ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'', with Rei.
** [[NippleAndDimed Slightly less so in]] ''RebuildOfEvangelion''.

* Reversed version in ''OnePiece''. Califa's silhouette is shown while she is ''dressing'', after she takes a bath in front of Nami to humiliate her.

* Subverted in ''ThePrinceOfEgypt'': The silhouette turns out to be a bound bodyguard's.
* The second ''CannonballRun'' movie had the girls changing in the back seat with a blanket hanging in front—when a track pulls up behind with high beams to highlight them perfectly. Burt Reynolds and Dom [=DeLuise=] (who think the ladies are ''nuns'') are practially biting their lips in the front seat.
* Happens to {{Mulan}} in the beginning of her movie.
* Spoofed in ''The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult'' when Tanya (Anna Nicole Smith) undresses behind a screen [[spoiler:but reveals a BiggusDickus]], much to the [[{{Squick}} chagrin]] of Frank Drebin and Rocco.

* Played straight in ''TheShadow'', when Penelope Ann Miller's character strips behind one of these while talking to Alec Baldwin's character.

* Played in a sophisticated manner in ''LePetitSpirou'', where the curvaceous Maths teacher is seen waiting for a car lift. It's dark and headlights casts a clean shadow of her against a nearby wall. Add the fact her skirt is rather sheer, and that's about as nude as a fully dressed person's shadow can be. Cue slow motion walking.
