* [[UsefulNotes/Mormonism The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] puts heavy emphasis on formal wear and traditional garments and lays a claim to being the continuation of the original church in Restorationist fashion, and many of its temples look crystalline and heavenly, often bordering futuristic.

** Shinra's "Neo Midgar" the second city that would theoretically be built when and if they ever found the theoretical Promised Land in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. While it's only mentioned in passing in the original game, in the Remake we see the theorectical design of it in some presentations in the Shinra Building. It's basically a white futuristic looking version of Midgar in this style, vs the very metallic industrial grungy looking original.

* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' had the Silver Millennium in the distant past and Crystal [[TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse Tokyo]] in the distant future, though neither are shown with Togas.[[note]]Princess Serenity's dress though was inspired by the Palladium Dress by Christian Dior, which was designed to look like an Ancient Greek column.[[/note]] We mostly see the Royalty and Soldiers, which consist of a PimpedOutDress and Sailor Suits respectively for the women, and a Suit/Vaguely Medieval Armour and a vaguely military uniform, both apparently based on boy's school uniforms, for the men. Though they don't appear anywhere else, the girls are shown wearing togas during the Silver Millennium in the footage that goes along with Tuxedo Mirage, the first ending theme of the [[Anime/SailorMoon first anime]]'s ''Super'' season.

'''Supergirl:''' ''"The sound of it. The noise of all the people. It was around you all the time. Buildings like liquid glass and steel."''

* The world of gods in ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' is this. While at first glance it resembles a stereotypical Olympian heaven, it turns out that it actually relies on massive amounts of AppliedPhlebotinum, its inhabitants hold regular jobs and there are even shopping malls (plus plenty of politicking and the occasional doomsday device).

* [[ShiningCity Saturn City]] in ''Literature/AeonLegionLabyrinth'' is a blending of Arabic, Latin, and Greek culture. Its technology grants [[TheAgeless eternal youth]], crime is stopped before it even stops by {{Seers}} called Sybil, and Saturnian citizens are pretty nice if a bit hedonistic. Despite being the most advanced and powerful human civilization in history, it is also completely stagnate culturally and technologically.
