--->'''Max:''' How'd it go?\\

Mostly an {{anime}} trope (especially in GirlsLove works), the "her" in question is often an aloof-seeming, athletic high school student who is pursued by every sports club in school, and has the guys crooning "So hot!" as she goes past, and the girls squealing "So cool!" as she goes past (none of these are a hard-and-fast requirement, but most of the examples will pick and choose at least one or two items off the "menu" of aloofness, athletic ability, and "cool" beauty). She will often get chocolates from other girls on Valentine's Day (which is SeriousBusiness in Japan). As a result, this trope is considered less 'sexual' in nature (and can sometimes be quite platonic in intention) as the idea is just to show how cool the girl in question is.

* "WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug" has its protagonist Marinette Dupain-Cheng. In season 5, she mistakes one of her female friends, Zoé Lee, to be in love with her boyfriend, just for the latter to end up making it explicitly clear to her later on that she was the one with whom she was in love with all along.

* Vicki in ''Film/VampireDiary''. Holly claims to be straight but enters into a relationship with and, when she asks Vicki if she has slept with other straight women, Vicki replies in the affirmative and claims it is because she not human so women react to her differently.

* In ''ComicBook/AlanFord'', the much asked for female addition and co-protagonist Minuette Macon. While her husband and protagonist Alan has always been a CluelessChickMagnet, it turns out that she's no slouch herself on that matter, occasionally having a ButchLesbian or a {{Bifauxnen}} coming on her (including a stewardess who invited her for sex after revealing that she drugged the entire crew to give them privacy or a recently-crowned baroness declaring that she was going to make her into her concubine). Unfortunately for all those admirers though, Minuette is both straight and faithful to her husband.

* ''ComicBook/{{Djinn}}'': Jade is such phenomenally sexy concubine that she makes Lady Nelson willingly join the RoyalHarem just to be with her.

* Marinette is revealed to be this in ''Fanfic/HeroChat'', where the group figures out that Marinette is the mysterious balcony girl Chat is enamored with and half-jokingly tell him that the only people who don't at some point get a crush on her are either people who are 100% into men (Max takes this as confirmation of him being gay) or have no soul (Chloé puts Lila into this category). Some of the girls in the chat (Alya, Chloé, and Alix) admit to having been attracted to her at some point and Kagami realizes she falls into the same category.

* Inverted in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/48640618 All of Them? Every Single One?]]'', where Tikki points out to Marinette that she's been attracted to nearly every girl she met, whether her close friends (Alya, Zoé’s, and Kagami), a few older women (Socqueline, Nora, Clara), and even some antagonist girls in her life (Chloé and Lila).

* In ''Literature/JohannesCabalTheNecromancer'', Layla the Latex Lady is essentially lust given humanoid form, sinful temptation. When she ends one of her shows early its noted that the men and some of the women give her wistful looks, noting that she inspires "confusing thoughts" in her female audience members.

* In the UsefulNotes/WW2 novel "Spitfire Girls" (by Carol Gould) Valerie Cobb, famous aviatrix and commanding officer of the women ferry pilots, is described in lovestruck terms by all of them. In this case of her best friend this attraction has a definite [[UsefulNotes/{{Sapphism}} sapphic]] edge -- unfortunately Cobb has fallen in love with a man instead.

** More commonly, Lily has dropped hints throughout the series that she has a crush on the smoking hot Robin.

* ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'': Olivia Benson. In-universe, the LesYay subtext suggests that seemingly-straight Alex Cabot (see above) would be quite happy to make an IfItsYouItsOkay exception, most clearly described in the [[http://www.ralst.com/OA_SVU_Manifesto.HTM Olivia/Alex Ship Manifesto.]] As would we all.

Walden even calls it the "lesbian zombie" virus.

* The editors of ''Vogue'' magazine recognized that [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl a lot of women are hot for]] Creator/CindyCrawford when they ran a topless photo of her in the March, 1989 issue.

* ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown WWE [=SmackDown!=]]]'': Wrestling/TorrieWilson. First, in December 2002, Wrestling/DawnMarie, who was [[{{Kayfabe}} engaged]] to Torrie's father Al, [[ScarpiaUltimatum guilted]] her into a makeout session at a hotel room which appeared on the ''WWE Armageddon 2002'' PPV on December 15. At the March 13, 2003 ''Girls Gone Wild'' PPV, Wrestling/StacyKeibler, Torrie's long-time friend/rival both [[{{Kayfabe}} on television]] and [[ProWrestlingIsReal off]], did a body shot from Torrie's cleavage (she was wearing a bikini at the time). Then, after a [[PutOnABus nearly four-year exile]] due to a lawsuit partially inspired by her having previously ''refused'' to do a lesbian angle, Wrestling/{{Sable}} [[TheBusCameBack returned]] on the April 3, 2003 (taped April 1) episode, while Torrie was presenting the cover to her ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' issue, and kissed Torrie. This led to Sable playing mind games with Torrie, leaving her split between seeking Sable's approval and beating her up, and each one attempting to one-up the other in sexiness. This was scrapped when [[Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon Stephanie [=McMahon=]]] [[ExecutiveMeddling booked herself]] into a feud with Sable, leaving Torrie [[DemotedToExtra to become the new valet]] for Wrestling/BillyGunn, in yet ''another'' attempt to get him over as anything other than the guy who finished [[Wrestling/DGenerationX the New Age Outlaws]]' intro. At the ''Vengeance'' PPV on July 27, as part of an on-going "Indecent Proposal" storyline, male wrestler Jamie Noble defeated Billy Gunn, thus giving Noble the right to "sleep" with Torrie on the next episode of ''[=SmackDown=]''. During the skit when it was supposed to happen, Noble suggested a threesome with his [[{{Kayfabe}} girlfriend]][=/=]valet Wrestling/{{Nidia}}. This led to a PlayedForLaughs scene with Noble, Torrie, Nidia and Gunn all in bed together.

* In ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'', [[YamatoNadeshiko Lilly]] says she has received many love confessions in the past. Before she cane to Yamaku, she attended an all-girls Catholic school, thus making it likely that most, if not all, of the confessors were female. She also has a fair amount of Les Yay with her best friend Hanako.

* In the ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorialGirlsSide'' series, starting from ''2nd Kiss'' on, there is usually a female character that has a personal, all-female fanclub of hers. ''2nd Kiss'' has Tatsuko Todo, the tall and stern-but-kind female rival, though her fanclub is also mentioned to contain some male members.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' features MsFanservice Lana: when she started selling sex to her collegues to get back at Cyril, first up was Pam. Later on, Cyril spots [[CampGay Ray]] in the queue and when he asks him about it, he replies "Girl, please. Nobody's ''that'' gay."

* The Peacock Queen from ''WesternAnimation/Hero108'' can hypnothise both male and female humans with her beauty in order to serve her. Mystique Sonia briefly becomes an example in the same episode when her Yaksha makes her beautiful after her hair and clothes were ruined with the help from some peacock feathers and by [[VoluntaryShapeshifter turning itself into a pink dress]], which makes both the peacocks (including the Queen) and the zebra brothers fall in love with Sonia. Unfortunately, anyone who confesses his feelings to her three times in row turns into a Yaksha.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends'', Vendetta seems to get some attention [[HoYay from other girls.]] [[ThePollyanna Charlotte]] is convinced that she is her [[PseudoRomanticFriendship best friend]], reaching [[AbhorrentAdmirer obsessive, stalker-like levels]]. Charlotte has also complimented Vendetta's looks. In a TV episode, Vendetta had to temporarily leave her house and stayed with Marion, who she pretended to be close friends with to spite Charlotte. This not only [[BreakTheCutie made Charlotte]] [[LoveHurts sad]], but also caused Marion to feel horrible when Vendetta said she meant nothing to her, not to mention Marion temporarily turned evil due to her influence. In the web episodes, there was Rubella, a fiend made to replace Vendetta's former bodyguard, Grudge. When Vendetta thinks she has killed Charlotte off, she and Rubella go off to [[ForTheEvulz torture the town residents with fiends]]. Rubella feels so close to her, that she buys her a musical toy bear that looks like something you'd give out Valentine's Day. Too bad Rubella didn't know she was melophobic...
* "WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug" has its protagonist, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. In season 5, she mistakes one her female friends, Zoé Lee, to be in love with her boyfriend, just for the latter to end up making it explicitly clear to her later on that she was the one with whom she was in love with all along.

I knew what it meant, because I experienced it many times before, but I kept dismissing it. It couldn't be true: she was Cindy Crawford, after all. When I turned my back to her to talk to an Creator/{{E}} crew member sitting on my left, Cindy reached over and rubbed the back of my neck. "Ooh", she cooed 'look at your beautiful tattoo!". She {Crawford] touched my neck so softly and sensually. Was she making a pass at me? I froze. It was too much.
