History Main / ElegantGothicLolita

* Belarus from ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia''.

* Candy of ''{{Malifaux}}'' gained this look with the second edition.

* [[OverlyLongGag For a fourth]] {{Toku}} example, there's the Grasshopper Woman in ''KamenRiderDouble''.

* ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators'}}'' Commander Breanne Geothe is infamous for [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacisV04n061.html her outfit]].

* {{Toku}} example: ''MahouSentaiMagiranger'''s Nai and Mea dress in dolly-goth style.

** [[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/The_Alibi_of_the_Black_Dress Said case]] actually features a lolita, Mihiro Kuze, as ''the murder victim''. She's found dead in a public restroom and since Conan, Kogoro, Ran and Sonoko were among those who saw her alive last, they now have to testify and investigate her death. [[spoiler: The fact that she's a lolita is ''vital'' in the resolution, as her black dress is one of the proofs against her killer: her former best friend Yuika, who had actually worn it before the murder to create an alibi... and she also had it on ''while she was killing Mihiro''.]]

** [[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/The_Alibi_of_the_Black_Dress Said case]] actually features a lolita, Mihiro Kuze, as ''the murder victim''. She's found dead in a public restroom and since Conan, Kogoro, Ran and Sonoko were among those looking for her before, they now have to testify and investigate her death. [[spoiler: The fact that she's a lolita is ''vital'' in the resolution, as her black dress is one of the proofs against her killer: her former best friend Yuika, who had actually worn it before the murder to create an alibi... and she also had it on ''while she was killing Mihiro''.]]
** The trope also grts lampshaded when the victim is seen in the tea parlor for the first time. Kogoro is weirded out and speaks about "that eerie witch costume" she's wearing, but Ran and Sonoko go all [[CutenessProximity "GOTH LOLI, SO CUUUUUUTE ~ !"]] [[DeadpanSnarker Of all people]], Conan explains to him what Goth-Loli is, and then he thinks that [[LittleMissSnarker Ai]] would fit in the subculture fairly well (complete with a ImagineSpot of Ai in a gothloli dress)

* In DetectiveConan, during a case [[http://frozenviolets.tumblr.com/post/56260587944 Ran goes into a boutique]] to put on a frilly and pink ''sweet lolita'' dress. Conan/Shinichi was getting ready to snark at her, but [[LuminescentBlush is left startruck]] [[SheCleansUpNicely once he sees her on it.]]

* As part of her UnlimitedWarddrobe, Ilana wears an outfit like this in the "Elephant Logic" episode of ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan.''

-->"[[WordOfGod You do need the obligatory gothic lolita, after all.]]"

* As invoked by Saber in ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'', [[spoiler: after taking off her {{Ahoge}} and poking the living daylights out of Gil]]:
-->'''Saber [[spoiler: Alter]]:''' I'm a [[ElegantGothicLolita cute gothic-lolita]] [[{{Meido}} maid]]-[[FanserviceWithASmile waitress]], ''sir''!

** There's also the comparatively subdued example of Sawyer the Cleaner, who dresses in this style when she's not head-to-toe in surgical scrubs.
* Cirucci Thunderwitch fills this role in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''.
** Riruka Dokugamine's black clothes also evoke the Gothloli looks.

* ''Anime/CodeGeass''
** MysteriousWaif C.C. inexplicably wears an ElegantGothicLolita costume in one episode; [[AllThereInTheManual side materials]] suggest that Lelouch bought it for her without bothering to check her tastes first. As she was going out in public, it's still less conspicuous than her normal apparel of what appears to be a straitjacket.
** A special mention needs to go to the PictureDrama where Milly forces the entire student council to cross-dress, and ''Lelouch'' gets dressed up like this. He is not exactly pleased, but there's a certain amount of {{squee}} from everyone else over "[[AttractiveBentGender Luluko]]."
** In the Lost Colors game, [[http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/9495/nunnabling.jpg Nunnally ends up dressed in a red and white Lolita outfit.]]

* Misa Amane in ''Manga/DeathNote'' was a mix of this and PerkyGoth (eith some dashes of Punk Lolita too), though her looks became more mainstream after the TimeSkip to indicate her maturity and fame. In the anime, Misa wears outfits like this twice: once as she sings about her devotion to Light in the streets, and later in the GrandFinale... [[spoiler:as she quietly stands atop of a rooftop, after Light's death -- and it's strongly implied that [[DrivenToSuicide she threw herself off it]].]] As a matter of fact, it's possible that her original montage [[spoiler:actually takes place directly before her scene in the finale, which may be why she, in the montage, is seen on a rooftop looking forlornly at the horizon.]] The outfit may have been so distinct specifically to draw us to this conclusion.

* Dolce in ''Anime/{{Geneshaft}}'' wears a distinctively ElegantGothicLolita outfit, in contrast with the colorful and {{stripperific}} uniforms of the rest of the (mostly female) cast. It helps underline that she's [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} quite a nutcase]] as well.

* One of Ayumu's idol outfits in ''Anime/BestStudentCouncil'' is [=GothLoli=].

* The outfits worn by the girls of ''Manga/KOn'' in the ED, "Don't Say Lazy", and "Fuwa Fuwa Time".

* Vita of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha A's'' and Lutecia of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS''. The latter has the attitude, but the former is more of a mix between LittleMissBadass and CuteBruiser who probably only has the outfit because her master [[CosplayOtakuGirl Hayate]] thought it was cute.

* Kuesu from ''Manga/OmamoriHimari''.
* Perona from ''Manga/OnePiece''.

* ''Manga/SoulEater'': Patti Thompson's outfits when she dresses casually have elements of this. More explicitly, the maid outfits she and Liz wore in the manga.
* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''
** The manga adaptation features this during Kyon and Mikuru's date. They stumble upon Yuki (What was she doing there, anyway?) who got dressed up like this by some clothing-store owners. Kyon remarks that it looks "pretty damn good" on her.
** Due to the popularity of the aforementioned, PVC figurines have been released of the female leads in personally-tailored [=GothLoli=] costumes.
* Silky from ''Anime/TenshiNiNarumon'', especially in the first season [[spoiler: where she poses for a doll]].

* Hagall from ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' dresses in this style.

* Janette of ''LightNovel/ZeroNoTsukaima''.
* Myouga Unzen of ''Manga/MedakaBox''.

* Rory Mercury in ''{{LightNovel/Gate}}'', a small young lady (ReallySevenHundredYearsOld) with AnAxeToGrind. Given that she lives in a MedievalEuropeanFantasy world, Itami's squad is forgiven for mistaking her for an escaped captive from their own world.

* Marvel's ''{{ComicBook/Livewires}}'' miniseries featured a character actually '''named''' Gothic Lolita, who served as the CuteBruiser of the title FiveManBand. To be fair, she is a self-named RobotGirl, and her teammates have equally odd monikers.
* Also from Marvel, ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' leader, Nico Minoru, is explicitly referenced as such in the comics first script.

* {{Toku}} example: ''MahouSentaiMagiranger'''s Nai and Mea dress in this style.

* Yui Itsuki of Music/YouseiTeikoku.

* Music/{{Kerli}}, who calls her own style "bubble goth".
* [[Music/{{Evanescence}} Amy Lee]].

** Amy from ''Soul Calibur 3''. In the arcade version, at least. ''Soul Calibur IV'' even more so. She's "Ero-lolita" at best; most lolitas value modesty.
** ''Soul Calibur IV'' also includes a [[RobotGirl robotic]] ElegantGothicLolita in bonus character Ashlotte.

* The "Dark Beauty" dress Cordelia can acquire in ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts: Covenant'' is, appropriately enough, in this style. In ''From The New World'', Hilda takes up the fashion.

* Virtually the entire ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' cast is dressed in goth-loli style; even the traditional Japanese outfits seen in the games come with frills and lace. One gets the impression that the artist (ZUN) doesn't know when to stop adding details. He's once explained the expressive frills as "I don't know how to draw straight lines."

** Shinobu's redesign for the sequel is fashioned like a cross of this and a [[InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja ninja]]. Bad Girl's design in the original was more Sweet Lolita.

* [[EnfanteTerrible Lieselotte Achenbach]] in ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart''.

* Spiritia Rosenberg of ''{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' wears these.

* ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo''
** Miho Tohya. Largo even believes she's the [="Z0MB13 QU33|\|"=] right after he meets her. Near the end of Chapter 9, we find out she [[spoiler:is, in fact, the Mistress of the Zombies -- they refer to her as such]].
** Much later, Yuki glams up in EGL to look for [[spoiler:Miho]] in the Cave of Evil. [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/1221 Guess who also decided to go shopping for an outfit??]]

* Anxiety from ''SoDamnBright'' wore a dress and stockings (with lots of "frilly and lacy bits") that were closer to EGL than her normal goth fashion when she went to a concert.

* MSFHigh Forum: Casey's usual style of dress
[[/folder]]

* Misery from ''RubyGloom''.
* Argent in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' looks like this.
* ''Franchise/EverAfterHigh'' features this heavily, for obvious reasons. Can't sell plain looking characters as dolls, now, can you?

* Hildagarde from ''Manga/{{Beelzebub}}'' dresses like this.

** The manga adaption features this during Kyon and Mikuru's date. They stumble upon Yuki (What was she doing there, anyway?) who got dressed up like this by some clothing-store owners. Kyon remarks that it looks "pretty damn good" on her.

Keep in mind that although creators might draw inspiration from lolita fashion or intend to show lolita outfits, they might not necessarily make accurate representations or real-life lolitas - who are almost always adults dressing the style for fashion and would be highly offended at any [[{{Lolicon}} implication of encouraging or endorsing pedophilia]].

* ''Anime/RozenMaiden''
** Suigintou; the other dolls are also dressed in Victorian fashions, but are generally more colorful.
** Souseiseki has roughly the same palette as Suigintou, but wears a style of dress based on Victorian clothing for ''boys'', known as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_fashion#.C5.8Cji_.28Boystyle.29 "ouji" or "kodona"]].
** All of the dolls could be seen as different types of lolita in general. Hina Ichigo is a Sweet Lolita, Kirakishou is a Classic Lolita (or a slightly more refined Sweet Lolita, take it either way), Suiseiseki and Shinku are Aristocrat-lolitas, and Kanaria is more like mix of Classic Lolita and Aristocrat-lolita.

* Mana of "Malice Mizer" and now "Moi dix Mois" is the UrExample, as well as the owner of one of the major brands, "Moi Meme Moitie". Also counts the the TropeNamer, as the term ElegantGothicLolita was coined by him to describe his own style.
* Yui Itsuki of Music/YouseiTeikoku.

* Ninon Beart of ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Maximum Impact 2'' practically ''defines'' Gothic Lolita. And in the ''Days of Memories'' DatingSim, if she's the chosen love interest, she will rope the lead guy into dressing up as a gothloli too.
** In the ''Tales of Ash'' saga, a girl from Those Of The Past dresses like this. She's a ''very'' creepy-looking EmotionlessGirl named Rimelo, never seen without her partner Shroom. In ''XI'' they [[spoiler: attack the Ikari Warriors to steal Magaki's body, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking stealing Heidern's]] EyepatchOfPower in the meantime]]; in ''XIII'' they ambush Kyo Kusanagi to give him his KOF invitation, in the Story mode she quietly stands by Shroom's side as he speaks to [[spoiler: Ash Crimson]], and she's also there when [[spoiler: Shion [[TheStinger returns]] to this world in the ending]].
