* The trope is lampooned in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent''. [[BarbarianHero Bembo]] [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3382 encounters]] a fairy-like being who describes herself as having "otherworldly beauty". Bembo then points out that her fitting traditional, Western beauty standards is hardly otherworldly, to which she snaps at him, "OTHERWORLDLY BEAUTY".

** The whole [[VampiresAreSexGods Daeva]] clan from ''TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem''. In their Clan Book it is stated that they're "[[SuperStrength stronger]], [[SuperSpeed faster]] and [[EvilIsSexy sexier]] than you". Even before the embrace, they are already attractive humans; after it, they become inhumanly beautiful, partly because of their discipline, Majesty, that allows them to bedazzle people with their presence. The clan book does make a point of the fact that anyone who knows enough about the Daeva (including the Daeva themselves) tends to find something off about them because their beauty is artificial and they are incapable of love. One of the illustrators noted that the Daeva are essentially sex objects rather than people.

* Kolnari, a HumanSubspecies in ''[[Literature/TheShipWho The City Who Fought]]'', have golden eyes, platinum hair, jet black skin, it's repeatedly noted that those who aren't [[GoodScarsEvilScars heavily scarred]] are stunningly beautiful. They also like to wear as little as possible. Too bad they're AlwaysChaoticEvil to a frankly [[StupidEvil stupid]] degree. Also, since they have shorter lifespans than baseline humans who are LongLived in this setting, they lose their looks completely in their late thirties.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' has its version of TheFairFolk - {{Humanoid Abomination}}s from outside reality that can imitate humanity better than actual humans can. Fair Folk Nobles start with a minimum of three in all their stats (on a scale where 2 is average), so it's literally impossible for them to have below-average looks. Their stats also naturally cap at 7, in a setting where 4 is the natural limit for normal people and 5 for ''demigods''[[note]]This can be broken by special abilities, which are also available for the fair ones.[[/note]]. And they also have access to various charms to enhance their beauty and persuasiveness up with {{glamour}}.
