* Rule63 versions of Franchise/HarryPotter tend to depict the {{GenderFlip}}ped Harry as this -- generally more athletic and less shy than your average BespectacledCutie, but with the same adorable aesthetics. Female Harry is quite often more openly affectionate than her male canon counterpart, and is almost as often depicted as a BadassBookworm to rival Hermione.

%%* ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'': ''ComicBook/KatyKeene'''s titular character's sister, "Sis".

* ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'': Goldilocks. Subverted: she's batshit insane - violent, sexual, and a political extremist.
* ''Franchise/GIJoe'': The Baroness, although she is decidedly ''not'' sweet, shy, and nice, defies the whole TheGlassesGottaGo line of thinking in every series she has been featured in.
* ''ComicBook/GalactaDaughterOfGalactus'': Galacta the daughter of Galactus, wears a cute pair of glasses as part of her "Gali" identity.

Added DiffLines:

* ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'': Mary Jane Watson eventually starts wearing glasses. In ''ComicBook/SpiderMen'' the Peter Parker of the 616 Universe, who started off wearing glasses himself states that his world's MJ wears contacts, but this seems highly unlikely given that she's never actually been ''seen'' anywhere near glasses.


Added DiffLines:

** The "World's Most Beautiful Woman" has worn glasses [[ClarkKenting in her secret identity]] as Diana Prince.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': The Heyday triplets are attractive identical sisters who are members of the [[BadassCrew Holliday Girls]] and wear large round wire-framed reading glasses.
* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]]. Her [[{{Intangibility}} phasing]] prevents her from using contacts.
** Before she was outed as a mutant, when she was still Deputy Director of DARPA, [[Characters/MarvelComicsMystique Mystique]] was never seen without her rather severe hornrims; since, like her clothes, they were literally part of her.

Glasses on a HotLibrarian or SexySecretary are a completely different thing. The SeeminglyWholesomeFiftiesGirl may use glasses to ''pretend'' to be this trope.

* Connie from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''. Her big, round glasses just make her more adorable. Even when her vision is fixed, she just pops out the lenses to keep the look so her family and optometrist won't know she had her vision cured through an IndirectKiss with Steven, who has [[HealingHands Healing Spit]].

Per this thread, Boobs Of Steel is no longer a trope.


* ''Anime/QueensBlade'' has Cattleya, who plays the trope straight with her sweet, motherly personality, but also subverts stereotype by being the [[StatuesqueStunner biggest]] fighter ([[BoobsOfSteel in more ways than one]]) and the most [[BruiserWithASoftCenter physically powerful]].

* ''Series/ModernFamily'': Alex Dunphy, the second youngest daughter, between her pretty older sister, and her goofy younger brother. She's the [[TheSmartGuy smartest of the family]], but also the frequent butt of their jokes and jabs. Due to her intellectual nature, Haley berates her as a [[HollywoodNerd nerd]]/geek. Still, Alex isn't exactly an ugly young girl, despite how much others wish to improve her appearance.
