The point of Mortimer's stunt is to try to get the White Gloves as a whole back to being cannibals.


* In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', the White Glove Society wear gloves and certainly give the impression of being "high class" with their fancy outfits and upper-class demeanor, particularly in contrast to the fifties-styled "Chairmen" and the mobster-styled Omertas. [[spoiler:It turns out that this is partly an act that Mr House forced them into, and that the White Gloves are using it to cover up their cannibalism.]]

** While Elsa does wear fancy gloves for the first part of ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen}}'', their purpose is practical; to prevent her powers from unexpectedly manifesting and potentially harming others.

* At the opera in Creator/DonBluth's ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', Anya wears white opera gloves like the other ladies attending. Grand Duchess Marie's gloves are daubed with peppermint oil, which triggers a childhood memory of Anya's about spilling some peppermint oil on the palace carpet. This absurd fact proves to the Grand Duchess that Anya is no imposter, but rather the true Princess Anastasia.
* In the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, the Disney Princesses who married into royalty (Cinderella, Belle and Tiana) all wear opera gloves as part of their signature outfits while the princesses who were born into royalty (the rest of the Disney Princesses except for Mulan, the only member of franchise who's technically not a princess) don't.

* ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'': Many female guests wear gloves to the Ascots' garden party, though Alice herself slightly zig-zags the trope by wearing nearly transparent ones that don't completely cover the fingers. While Alice's family is not nearly in the same wealth bracket as the Ascots, she has an inherent rebellious streak, while her mother wears full-length gloves and is more concerned with being "properly dressed".
