* Two of the main characters in ''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}'' have outfits inspired by characters from Creator/HayaoMiyazaki's works, which director Enrico Casarosa cited as an inspiration: Alberto wears the sleeveless yellow shirt and brown shorts of Conan from ''Anime/FutureBoyConan'', while Giulia wears a red-striped shirt and rolled up jeans like Tombo from ''Anime/KikisDeliveryService''.

** The BadFuture of "Planet Doom" depicts Black Widow donning the costume and mask of Madame Maqsue, [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Spider-Man]] wearing a version of his ''ComicBook/SpiderManNoir'' costume, Hawkeye in his [[DorkAge much-malinged]] ''ComicBook/TheUltimates3'' costume, and Falcon in his ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' costume instead of his usual outfit based on the mainstream comics version.[[note]]With that last one, you'd think it'd be the other way around, as ''Assemble'' tends to use designs based on the movies, where Falcon looks more like his Ultimate self. One would expect him to normally look like Ultimate Falcon and wear his 616 costume in the alternate timeline! That said, he did get an MCU-inspired suit in season 4[[/note]]

* The first prince outfit in ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey III'' is extremely close to the king's outfit in ''VideoGame/MyLifeAsAKing''.

* During the production of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', one of the production staff noted that her GiantPoofySleeves made her look like the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam RX-78-2]]. So they made her the magical girl equivalent of a Gundam.

* In ''Film/{{Oscar}}'', Lisa's FairytaleWeddingDress is a copy of the dress from ''Film/ItHappenedOneNight''.

* In ''Theatre/{{Oscar}}'', Lisa's FairytaleWeddingDress is a copy of the dress from ''Film/ItHappenedOneNight''.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': When Hades goes from being one of the most reasonable and kind of the Greek deities under previous writers to a [[EverybodyHatesHades vicious villain]] under Creator/GregRucka he switches out his iconic look to seemingly raid the ComicBook/{{Shade}}'s closet. His new appearance is so close, even including a cane tied to his power, that the only visual difference between them is that Hades didn't start wearing sunglasses.

This can include live-action works, when the costume actually is the costume worn in an earlier work, as a form of PropRecycling. Many low budget works do this. But again, there has to be no mention or clue of the work it was reused from.

* Creator/NaokoTakeuchi was fond of drawing the cast of ''Manga/SailorMoon'' in outfits inspired by real world high fashion. For instance, one of her most famous art book depictions of Sailor Pluto has her wearing a Chanel dress sported by supermodel Naomi Campbell, while the designs of Koan and Black Lady originated from a Christian [=LaCroix=] outfit and a Yves Saint Laurent perfume ad, respectively.

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', Kugo Ginjo's attire is an exact replica of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Squall Leonhart's]], right down to the necklace and fur-collar. The only noticeable difference is his ''shoes''.

* In the fighting festival arc of ''Manga/FairyTail'', [[WellIntentionedExtremist Laxus]] [[PsychoElectro Dreyar]] is the ArcVillain. For some reason he gains a new outfit in the anime, which is the same thing worn by [[Manga/GetBackers Ginji Amano]] when he was known as the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Lightning Emperor of the Limitless Fortress]].

* In ''Anime/YuriOnIce'', a brief flashback in Episode 12 shows a young Jean-Jaccques Leroy wearing [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Eric Cartman's]] [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/13e5308c34ea1a4a492a249f8f888e5f/tumblr_oik4n2OcmJ1u6jksbo2_1280.png iconic coat and hat.]]

* A number of characters have worn Creator/BruceLee's ''Film/GameOfDeath'' tracksuit, the Bride in ''Film/KillBill'' being the most famous. The goalie in ''Film/ShaolinSoccer'', also an homage to Lee, wore the track suit in [[WalkingShirtlessScene one of the few times he wore full chest covering]]. Like the Bride, he also {{lampshade|Hanging}}s it with Lee's silent "Come Get Some!" hand gesture.

** In ''Film/DieAnotherDay'', Jinx (Creator/HalleBerry) wears the bikini top, Shorttank and survival knife ensemble while doing a SexySurfacingShot which was made famous by Honey Rider (Creator/UrsulaAndress) in ''Film/DrNo''. Spun into a MythologyGag when ''Bond himself'' (Creator/DanielCraig) wears the Shorttank and knife in ''Film/QuantumOfSolace''.

* Poe Dameron's outfit in ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' is very similar to the one [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Nathan Drake]] wears in ''VideoGame/Uncharted3DrakesDeception''. [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D3-pNtYW0AY156x.jpg]] Director Creator/JJAbrams is a long time fan of ''Uncharted'' and was even attached to direct the [[DevelopmentHell long gestating]] film at one point.

* ''Film/DrMinx'': When David becomes obsessed with proving that Carol and Brian murdered Gus, he starts dressing like Series/{{Columbo}}; with a trenchcoat, tie and and carrying a cigar that he never smokes. Nobody else comments on this.

** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]", the Doctor dresses like Sherlock Holmes. Leela, not to be outdone, dresses at first as Tinker (the KidSidekick of British pulp hero Sexton Blake) and later more femininely as Eliza Doolitle.

* When the ''Podcast/{{Sequinox}}'' girls get sent to an 80s prom world in the Gemini arc, everyone gets appropriate outfits. Specifically, Hannah's looks like Music/{{Madonna}}, with the big hair and white corsets. Sid looks like a member of Music/{{Whitesnake}}. Vivaldi looks like Music/{{Prince}}.

* A few costumes in ''VideoGame/UminekoGoldenFantasia'' that had to be removed from the console ports of ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry''. On Jessica's stage, the lead singer and rhythm guitar are dressed as [[Franchise/TouhouProject Kirisame Marisa and Hakurei Reimu]]. Jessica herself dresses as Marisa for her Meta Special and her ending with Kanon, in which he is dressed as Reimu.

*** One of Johnny Cage's outfits evoke the titular Scott Howard from ''Film/TeenWolf'', Jade as the Wicked Witch from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', Kotal Kahn has an outfit based on [[Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982 the 1982 film version]] of Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian and Erron Black has costumes based on Franchise/IndianaJones and Uncle Sam.
*** Three DLC costumes give Raiden, Sonya, and Johnny their appearances in the first live action movie, and change their voice actors to their respective movie counterparts.

** Shining Armor's wedding suit is very similar to the suit worn by Prince William during his wedding to Kate Middleton, though whether it was intended as a homage to that event in particular or just based off of a BritishRoyalGuards uniform is anyone's guess.

* The toy line for ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan'' has a "Night Mission Spider-Man" figure, which has the exact same color scheme as ComicBook/SpiderMan2099.

* [[AffirmativeActionLegacy Miles Morales]], the second Comicbook/UltimateSpiderMan, appears as an alternate costume for Peter Parker in ''VideoGame/SpiderManEdgeOfTime''.

* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s casual duds in ''Comicbook/UncannyAvengers'' resemble Creator/BruceLee's iconic tracksuit from ''Game of Death''.

** Like the film meta-example above, Chie's persona Tomoe in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' wears a distinctive bright yellow tracksuit. From the same game, Yosuke [[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} constantly wears a pair of headphones around his neck]]. In his case, though, it's also a CastingGag, since Yosuke and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'''s Main Character are both voiced by the same actor.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' has Ryuji, whose thief clothes are black, with a heavy leather and skull theme, making it one large reference to the persona ''Hell Biker'', a reference to ''ComicBook/GhostRider''.

* Same goes for ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' and its upgrade. Iron Patriot appears as an alternate suit for Iron Man, Ronin for ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, Comicbook/ScarletSpider for Franchise/SpiderMan, Comicbook/ThePunisher for ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, and so on. It got to the point that in the pre-release days for the [[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate]] version, one type of announcement Capcom would make was alternate colors for the characters and how each of them would be based on something.

* A few costumes in ''[[VideoGame/UminekoGoldenFantasia Ougon Musou Kyouku]]'' that had to be removed from the console ports of ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry''. On Jessica's stage, the lead singer and rhythm guitar are dressed as [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Kirisame Marisa and Hakurei Reimu]]. Jessica herself dresses as Marisa for her Meta Special and her ending with Kanon, in which he is dressed as Reimu.

* TheDragon of ''Comicbook/{{Asterix}} and Obelix: XXL'' dresses like a somewhat more homemade version of Lara Croft from ''Franchise/TombRaider'', down to the hairstyle. He looks [[FanDisservice absolutely nothing like her otherwise, though]]. As the game is set in 50BC, [[UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar Caesar]] criticises his dress sense in one cutscene--"Why can't he wear a skirt, like everyone else?"

* The Halloween episode of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' had Mal Duncan wearing ComicBook/{{Superboy}}'s 90's outfit. Karen Beecher also showed up wearing an outfit resembling her costume from the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' animated series, while Kid Flash was dressed as Film/TeenWolf. Random teens dressed as [[Comicbook/WonderGirl Donna Troy]] and Comicbook/HarleyQuinn could be seen as well.

** The BadFuture of "Planet Doom" depicts Black Widow donning the costume and mask of Madame Maqsue, [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan Spider-Man]] wearing a version of his ''ComicBook/SpiderManNoir'' costume, Hawkeye in his [[DorkAge much-malinged]] ''ComicBook/TheUltimates3'' costume, and Falcon in his ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' costume instead of his usual outfit based on the mainstream comics version.[[note]]With that last one, you'd think it'd be the other way around, as ''Assemble'' tends to use designs based on the movies, where Falcon looks more like his Ultimate self. One would expect him to normally look like Ultimate Falcon and wear his 616 costume in the alternate timeline! That said, he did get an MCU-inspired suit in season 4[[/note]]

--->'''Death:''' [[AC:I do like to get into the spirit of the thing.]]

* ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' has [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131205211026/marvel_dc/images/a/a4/Cyrus_Gold_(Arrow)_002.jpg Cyrus Gold]], who seems to be a mixture of [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} the monster]] and [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason]], along with ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}, who just seems [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140125030038/arrow/images/d/dd/Deathstroke_promo_full-body.png straight Jason.]]

* Like the film meta-example above, Chie's persona Tomoe in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' wears a distinctive bright yellow tracksuit. From the same game, Yosuke [[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} constantly wears a pair of headphones around his neck]]. In his case, though, it's also a CastingGag, since Yosuke and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'''s Main Character are both voiced by the same actor.
* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' has Ryuji, whose thief clothes are black, with a heavy leather and skull theme, making it one large reference to the persona ''Hell Biker'', a reference to ''ComicBook/GhostRider''.

* Sergeant Calhoun’s armor from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' is virtually identical to that worn by the female [[VideoGame/MassEffect Commander Shepard]]. It’s just missing the red stripe down the right arm and the N7 branding on the BreastPlate.

** To go with the Franchise/{{Predator}} being a GuestFighter in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', Johnny and Jax respectively have outfits that resemble Dutch and Dillon from the first ''Film/{{Predator}}'' (in the latter's case, complete with voice work by Creator/CarlWeathers)

** To go with the Franchise/{{Predator}} being a GuestFighter in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', Johnny and Jax have outfits that resemble Dutch and Dillon from the first ''Film/{{Predator}}'' (in the latter's case, complete with voice work by Creator/CarlWeathers)

* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "It's About Time" was apparently an elaborate excuse to get Twilight Sparkle in an [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots Old Snake]] costume. The only thing missing was a BadassMustache.

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'':
** To go with the Joker being a GuestFighter, some of the alternate suits for Kitana, Cassie Cage, Noob Saibot, Baraka, and Geras make them look like Creator/DCComics characters. More specifically Catwoman for Kitana, Harley Quinn for Cassie, the Batman Who Laughs for Noob, Killer Croc for Baraka (also an ActorAllusion, given Creator/SteveBlum, who voices Baraka, also -- barring [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins two]] [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamUnderworld installments]] -- voiced the ''Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries'' version of Croc), and Darkseid for Geras.
** To go along with the Franchise/{{Terminator}} being a GuestFighter, Sonya Blade has alternate suits based on Sarah Connor.
** One of Johnny Cage's outfits evoke the titular Scott Hoeard from ''Film/TeenWolf'', Jacqui Briggs has costumes based on She-Franchise/{{Spawn}} (with Al Simmons himself being a GuestFighter as well), Jade as the Wicked Witch from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', Kotal Kahn has an outfit based on [[Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982 the 1982 film version]] of Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian and Erron Black has costumes based on Franchise/IndianaJones and Uncle Sam.

** To go with the Franchise/{{Predator}} being a GuestFighter in ''MortalKombatX'', Johnny and Jax have outfits that resemble Dutch and Dillon from the first ''Film/{{Predator}}'' (in case's case, complete with voice work by Creator/CarlWeathers)

* Some of the alternate suits in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' for Kitana, Cassie Cage, Noob Saibot, Baraka, and Geras make them look like Creator/DCComics characters. More specifically Catwoman for Kitana, Harley Quinn for Cassie, the Batman Who Laughs for Noob, Killer Croc for Baraka (also an ActorAllusion, given Creator/SteveBlum, who voices Baraka, also -- barring [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins two]] [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamUnderworld installments]] -- voiced the ''Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries'' version of Croc), and Darkseid for Geras.
