Just throwing out another option because of how Superhero overdosed we are on this trope:

[up] To be fair I did suggest a non superhero one.

That is also good image.

[up] Yeah I posted this because I was tempted by the Tinkerbell one but I didn't find the difference quiet as striking because whilst I know Tink is being very vain and admiring her but in the first pic she her live action version is more modest but it's way more marginal than say, the Elektra one which I was going to go for but I thought I'd see if I could find another non-superhero one.

Fair enough. I was originally going to suggest her main outfit which includes dark more pants like leggings:

Then I looked at and realized that out of context it is hard to tell that the one on the right is based off of Tinkerbell.

[tup] I like 7.

[up][up] Yeah, I can't really the one on the right is Tink unless you told me.

I think 10 still works, the similar hairstyle makes her recognizable. But 7 is probably the best.

A lot of people have worn their hairstyle like Tink

Part of the reason I don't like the superhero ones is that the left-hand images seem cherry-picked to look as skimpy as possible; Supergirl only started exhibiting Bare Your Midriff with the 2005 re-introduction of Kara Zor-El (or, if other versions of the character count, the 90s), though a miniskirt was long part of her design. 1.2 is better; I was going to mention that Elektra had appeared in a more modest outfit not dissimilar to the right-hand image, but that only dates to 2017 so possibly postdates its use in the series. Still, 7 would be my preference; I'm not sure it's sufficiently clear that even 1.3 is the same character.

I don't think it's difficult to tell that's Tink in those suggestions (even without the bun and green dress, we have always taken advantage of the Kuleshov Effect for comparison images), but I prefer 7 because there's also a stark difference in the modesty of her pose (she's sultry in the left and standing firm on the right) and not just her clothes.
