Associated tropes:
- Everyone Loves Blondes: A lot of her roles. She's a natural blonde, while her characters are often either the most attractive or among them.
- Fanservice Pack: Her characters tend to be more Fanservice-y lately.
- Irony as She Is Cast: Her Pretty Little Liars co-star Lucy Hale plays her sister-in-law in How I Met Your Mother, yet they never had a scene together. Probably because their respective siblings in the show divorced after three years of marriage.
- Ms. Fanservice: She is a very beautiful woman. Her roles on TV and movies tend to be this as well.
- Older Than They Look: She was born at the end of 1989 but looks no older than 20 especially when wearing no makeup.
