Line #10 PlayingWith/EvilCostumeSwitch


1	'''Basic Trope''': A hero pulls a FaceHeelTurn and gets a new outfit to match.
2	* '''Straight''':
3	** Maybelle [[EtTuBrute betrays]] [[FaceHeelTurn her]] [[TrueCompanions friends]] and joins TheEmpire. She then replaces her old, brightly colored clothes with [[PaintItBlack darker]], sexier attire.
4	** Darkwing [[FaceHeelTurn after turning coat]] [[CorruptChurch to a religious faction of villains]], he replaces [[DarkIsNotEvil his normal all black superhero outfit]] for a more [[WhiteAndGoldAreDivine white and gold]] [[LightIsNotGood priest-like outfit]].
5	* '''Exaggerated''': Whenever Maybelle [[PokeThePoodle forgets to clean her room, refuses to share cookies with her little brother, shoves someone and doesn't apologize]] - ominous music is heard, and Maybelle's white dress suddently turns into a red and black {{Stripperific}} outfit, and her [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold golden hair]] become dark purple with neon green highlights...
6	* '''Downplayed''':
7	** Maybelle joins TheEmpire after leaving LaResistance. She keeps most of her old outfit, but a couple pieces are switched out to create a more ominous effect.
8	** Maybelle pulls a HazyFeelTurn in a GreyAndGrayMorality setting, and switches to darker clothing.
9	** Maybelle's new, darker clothing signals her [[AntiHero increased willingness to get her hands dirty]].
10	* '''Justified''':
11	** Maybelle's new outfit is the uniform of TheEmpire (or at least within their dress code).
12	** Maybelle wants to distance herself from her old, naïve life in every way, including appearance.
13	* '''Inverted''': GoodCostumeSwitch
14	* '''Subverted''':
15	** Maybelle keeps her old outfit after joining the empire.
16	** Maybelle is a ReverseMole and still on the good guys' side, using the outfit change to fool TheEmpire.
17	* '''Double Subverted''':
18	** However, she only retains it long enough to lure [[TheHero Albert]] into a trap, then tears it off to reveal her new skintight evil threads underneath.
19	** She ends up defecting for real after Emperor Evulz convinces her.
20	* '''Parodied''':
21	** Upon switching sides, Maybelle is immediately ushered off to meet Emperor Evulz' personal tailor, who bombards her with criticisms and suggestions.
22	** [[TheLancer Axel]] gets his clothes ripped in a fight, leading to fashionable asymmetry, and covered in ash, making them black. This leads to him becoming inexplicably evil. Hiro is determined to get him naked to turn him good again.
23	** Maybelle gets her clothes ripped up into a {{Stripperific}} black outfit. She then tries to steal some new clothes to wear, but everyone thinks she's turned evil.
24	** Every time Maybelle thinks about doing something particularly good or evil, she tears off her clothes to reveal either a good or evil set of clothes under it. This continues until either people start tripping over her discarded clothing or [[{{Fanservice}} she accidentally runs out of layers.]]
25	* '''Zig Zagged''': Sometimes, HeelFaceTurn[=s=] cause a costume switch, sometimes, they don't.
26	* '''Averted''': Maybelle's style has always been and still is alignment-neutral.
27	* '''Enforced''': "We need to make it clear that Maybelle's one of the bad guys now -- Makeover time! And remember, don't skimp on the {{Fanservice}}!"
28	* '''Lampshaded''': "Hey Maybelle. Long time no see. Are those new clothes?" "They came with the evil."
29	* '''Invoked''': Maybelle wants the world to know of her new ideologies and picks out a new outfit to announce it to the world.
30	* '''Exploited''': Maybelle is trying to become TheMole for TheEmpire, and changing out of the old uniform might help them buy into the ruse.
31	* '''Defied''':
32	** "I like the clothes I have, and I'm not changing them now just because I'm evil."
33	** Maybelle keeps the old outfit in order to make her former allies hesitant to attack her.
34	* '''Discussed''': "Has she started wearing a cleavage-exposing, black leather outfit yet? No? Then she's probably still on our side."
35	* '''Conversed''': "What is it about evil that makes all these characters want to suddenly start wearing leather?"
36	* '''Deconstructed''': People eventually figure this out, leading to a bizarrely literal "fashion police" and the gradual erosion of freedom of expression.
37	* '''Reconstructed''': In fact, things go so far that the uniform of the Fashion Police becomes the only Evil Costume to which Faces Turned Heels will switch.
38	* '''Played For Laughs:'''
39	** Maybelle, already shown to be quite shallow and obsessed with her appearance, switches sides because she's fallen in love with Emperor Evulz' fashion sense.
40	** Maybelle becomes a FashionVictimVillain, much to her former friend's amusement.
41	* '''Played For Drama:''' The evil costume in itself goes against the principles that they once held. Maybelle who once [[ActualPacifist refused to fight]] now wears an outfit bearing the heads of her slain foes.
