Victoria Justice's works exhibits these tropes:
- Bare Your Midriff: Over forty known times in multiple TV shows, music videos, photo shoots, and candid, including the picture on this page right now.
- Break Up Song: The unreleased "Perfect" is about wanting to end a relationship that initially seemed great.
- Chewing the Scenery:
- From All I Want Is Everything: "AS LONG AS IT FEELS RIGHT, AT LEAST WE KNOW THAT WE'RE ALIVE!"
- And on Victorious, her character has moments of this.
- Her performances on Lip Sync Battle.
- Covered in Gunge: In a trailer for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2012, along with Daniel Radcliffe. She got more of it (Radcliffe barely got any).
- Does Not Like Shoes: Is frequently seen barefoot on promotional pictures and social media.
- Extreme Doormat: A self-proclaimed people pleaser, she wrote "Too F*ckin' Nice" as an anthem to people who are too kind and polite for their own good.
- Genki Girl: Look at her in pretty much any interview. She's just so happy to be there.
- Girls with Moustaches: A big fan of wearing fake mustaches, to the point that most of the emoticons she uses include a moustache.
- Identical Stranger: She met Nina Dobrev for the first time at the Teen Choice Awards of 2015 and called her "my doppelganger".
- Medley: She has done three medleys with Max Schneider and with Kurt Hugo Schneider producing. One was a Bruno Mars medley, another was a Maroon Five medley and another is a Christmas song medley. She actually performed the "Bruno Mars Medley" on her Make It in America Tour.
- Ms. Fanservice:
- Lots of it. She always dresses up well at big events.
- Her very popular Instagram account shows her often in revealing outfits.
- Nice Girl: Just a loving, kindhearted woman. Deconstructed by "Too F*ckin' Nice".
- The Prankster: She enjoys hiding in dressing rooms and screaming to spook her co-workers on set.
- Self-Deprecation: "Treat Myself" is a depression anthem that discusses and defies this.
- Singer-Songwriter: She writes and performs much of her own music.
- This Is a Song: "Make It In America" has a verse where she talks about singing the lyrics to a song she wrote called "Make It In America".
- Typecasting: Her most common roles are a combination of Nice Girl and Everygirl, sometimes Only Sane Woman. Eye Candy defies this with her lead role as an obsessive hacker with a legally dubious history.
- Undying Loyalty: The unreleased "Friends Count" for Build-A-Bear Workshop.
- Unflinching Walk: At the end of the climax in The Boy Who Cried Werewolf.
- Wholesome Crossdresser:
- Twice. One, in Zoey 101, she (Lola) poses as a boy named Steve in the episode "Girls Will Be Boys" and pulled it off until she had to get in a pool. Two, in Victorious, Tori was cast in a school play as Jade's husband in the episode "Tori and Jade's Play Date".
- Similar hair on both occasions. Both also dealt with the fake mustache, the Zoey 101 moment briefer and earlier than the Victorious moment. In fact, that episode Zoey 101 could be considered the starting point for her obsession with mustaches.
