* Vanellope von Schweetz and Sergeant Calhoun from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''.

* Most of the female characters in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' fit the trope, including Marceline, Betty, Doctor Princess, Canyon, and even Princess Bubblegum (especially in her scientist attire). [[spoiler:Finn's mother]] in the 2-part fifth season premiere.

** Fluttershy looks pretty even when she is dirty with changeling goo in the end of To Where And Back Again. Actually, she is a lot prettier in her usual simple looks -particularly when she takes care of animals - than when she wears fancy dresses and complicated hairdos.

** The brief moment in "Sisterhood Social" where Rarity is standing the rain. Her mane dripping wet and she looks [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrpRJV_8yU great]].
** Twilight sports a rugged bedhead in "Bridal Gossip" that looks pretty good, while her disheveled manecut in "It's About Time" (courtesy of misapplied dragon fire) makes her look ''badass''.
** In "Simple Ways", Trenderhoof falls for Applejack while she's working on the farm, seeing her through a CrushFilter and describing her as "beautiful" even when she's covered in mud and sweat.
* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': Adora looked beautiful with her hair down, after [[spoiler: having a hard battle with Light Hope]] in the end of Season 4. Hordak, too, looked hot even covered with scrapes and having lost his sanity almost completely.
** Entrapta looks pretty good in her mechanic overalls and oil-stained top, as Bow, Hordak and King Micah can confirm.

* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': Shinji always thought that [[FieryRedhead Asuka]] looked [[HeroesWantRedheads beautiful]] -[[AmazonChaser and/or hot]]- no matter what (although in chapter 21, she had a makeover and his legs quit on him).

** Many protagonists in the mythos seem to fit this trope (not to mention a few ''[[EvilIsSexy an]]''[[EvilIsSexy tagonists]]). It's become a running joke in the fandom that in order to star in a Slenderverse vlog, you must possess the kind of good looks that hold up under constant insomnia, SanitySlippage, and being [[{{Squick}} splattered with blood.]]

* In the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31564853 A Little Red and Blue]]'', Sharon is inadvertently sent to the year 1944 by Wanda and is later found by the past Steve and Bucky, introducing herself to them as "Kate". Due to the differences in how women dressed between the time periods as well as Sharon not having time period appropriate currency and ready access to a shower, Steve and Bucky note that "Kate" doesn't wear make-up and has slightly masculine clothing but consider her to be very attractive nonetheless. When Bucky's aunt Agatha helps Sharon with her hair and make-up, the two men are even more impressed.

* Most of the female characters in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' fit the trope, including Marceline, Betty, Doctor Princess, Canyon, and even Princess Bubblegum (especially in [[HotScientist her scientist attire]]). [[spoiler:Finn's mother]] in the 2-part fifth season premiere.

** On that note, behold: [[http://www.summer-glau.net/gallery/albums/LA%20BTS/LA_BTS_001.jpg Summer Glau]] [[http://www.summer-glau.net/gallery/albums/LA%20BTS/LA_BTS_002.jpg in a]] [[http://www.summer-glau.net/gallery/albums/LA%20BTS/LA_BTS_003.jpg potato sack]] (or approximation thereof).

* Kevin Levin in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien''. Faice stained with oil? Hot. Exhausted, dirty and with his clothes in tatters? Hot, hot, hot!
* ''WesternAnimation/LaffALympics'': Daisy Mayhem, the only female member from the Really Rottens, is always barefooted,split-haired and wearing t-shirts and torn jeans, but she's gorgeous.

* ComicBook/{{X23}} wears her hair in simple styles (usually long and loose, less frequently in a ponytail or braided, but never done elaborately), doesn't wear makeup (the exception being during her prostitute days in ''ComicBook/{{NYX}}''), and eschews fashionable dress (an attempt by Jubilee to give her a makeover in Paris left Laura distinctly uncomfortable), with a personal style that is either gothic, strictly functional, or casual, or varying combinations thereof. She's also considered to be quite a beautiful young woman.

She's also considered to be quite a beautiful young woman.

* ''ComicBook/Bone'': Thorn spends most of the time with her hair messy and in worn-down clothes and yet, she looks prettier [[spoiler: than in her princess attire]]. Fone Bone simply praises her to the skies.
