* MsFanservice: Florence is a very beautiful woman in a classical, almost elfin sense, and she's not at all afraid to wear outfits that show her body off. She doesn't usually get as extreme as some musicians, but it's hard to argue that outfits like [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/3c/f3/e7/3cf3e765a7de19a66212b25bf0e5ff96--florence-the-machines-florence-welch.jpg this]], [[http://imgur.com/X2Wbm this,]] and [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5d/09/92/5d0992079d71ac230d6f90ec1ee534a4--florence-the-machine-florence-welch-style.jpg this]] don't qualify. See ShesGotLegs and StatuesqueStunner below. She also has a PantyShot in the music video for "Kiss With a Fist", is briefly topless in the ones for "What Kind Of Man" and "Long & Lost" and spends half the music video for "Ship to Wreck" in nothing but a lacy red bra and skinny jeans.

** Florence loves the subject of drowning. Mentioned by description in ''Ceremonials'' liner notes, she's fond of the ''jumping off the edge and "enveloping"'' feeling which drowning often described as being. She once said that as a child, she dived to the bottom of a swimming pool and, for a moment, felt like she could breathe, and she's been trying to recreate the feeling ever since. This is said to be similar to her relationship to music. It came to the point that the main producer for ''How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful'', Markus Dravs, forbade her from writing ''any'' songs about water. [[note]]''Queen of Peace'' does mention a boat, to which the ''Genius'' contributor dryly noted "well, she had to sneak water in somehow".[[/note]]\\
Drowning turns up in "Drumming Song", "Swimming", "Heavy In Your Arms", "What the Water Gave Me", "Never Let Me Go", "Heartlines", "Ship to Wreck" (breaking the above order from Dravs in the process), and "The End of Love" along with being alluded to in the music videos for "Rabbit Heart", "Lover to Lover" and "Big God". It's implied in "Hurricane Drunk". Subverted with "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful" itself which, despite sounding oceanic, is actually referring to the UsefulNotes/LosAngeles skyline and inverted in "Heaven Is Here" which involves Florence threatening to remove the water (perhaps in a nod to Dravs request)
