Basic Trope: The Ingenue gets an Unnecessary Makeover and acts slutty to snag her Love Interest.
- Straight: To get Bob's attention, Alice exchanges her modest attire for something that shows more skin and acts more outgoing.
- Exaggerated: Former Shrinking Violet Alice shows up on Bob's doorstep in (at most) high-heeled boots and three pieces of masking tape.
- Downplayed: Alice unbuttons her shirt a little and it seems to be enough to get Bob's attention.
- Justified: For one reason or another, Alice has become desexualised in Bob's head and left as just another one of his friends. The makeover, although unnecessary from anybody else's point of view, makes Bob snap out of it and realise Alice is still a woman.
- Inverted:
- Eva, a former Vamp, gives up her old ways and starts acting sweet and innocent because that's what Bob likes.
- Exaggerated Inversion: Bob was dating Alex, who lives in the nude, but then he leaves her in favour of conservatively dressed Alice.
- Gender Flipped:
- Bob starts bodybuilding and gets a high-paying job (for example, as a drug dealer) because that's what Alice likes.
- Alternatively, Bob begins to dress and act like a manwhore to show Alice he's an experienced and attractive bad boy.
- Subverted: Bob liked Alice just the way she was...
- Double Subverted: ...But doesn't mind the changes one bit.
- Parodied:
- To get Bob's attention, Alice shows up to Bob's doorstep dressed in a clown suit (and not even the sexy clown outfit), and Bob comments on how much more fun, outgoing, and incredibly hot she is now.
- To get Bob's attention, Alice strips down to her birthday suit, jumps into his arms, and... begs him to tickle her tummy.
- Zig-Zagged: Alice changes her image and snags Bob, but struggles with her self-confidence. Bob figures this out, and they have a heart-to-heart where he admits that he likes the new her, but wants to know the real her. Alice reverts to normal, and they stay together happily... but Bob starts to miss the showier Alice, even though he knows how miserable she was.
- Averted: The Ingenue dresses modestly and gets her man.
- Enforced:
- You are writing an homage to Grease.
- "Okay, we need to ramp up the Fanservice and get Alice together with Bob."
- Lampshaded: "Now that you've changed your personality and are wearing black leather, Bob is sure to notice you!"
- Invoked:
- "I know how you can get Bob! Dress like a skank! It works all the time in the movies!"
- Bob is a Jerkass who actually tells Alice that he'd go out with her only if she dressed like a tramp.
- Exploited: Charlie, the Shipper on Deck for Alice and Bob, feels that she's made his goals so much easier.
- Defied: "Don't you dare try changing yourself just to please some guy, Alice! You can do better than him!"
- Discussed: "If this were a seventies musical based on the fifties, all you'd have to do to get Bob to notice you is get a personality revamp and dress like a slut."
- Conversed: "Isn't it weird, in the movies, a girl has to act slutty to get a guy's attention?"
- Deconstructed: Alice, convinced that Bob would never notice somebody like her, struggles to become what she thinks guys like. It's an extremely difficult process, and while she manages to pull off the physical image, her self-respect and confidence take a severe nosedive.
- Reconstructed: Alice concludes that while it's only natural to want her crush to find her attractive, she doesn't have to change who she is in the process, and a lasting relationship will only work if Bob likes her for who she is on the inside. She revamps her appearance and asserts her sexuality on her own terms rather than what she thinks a man will like.
- Implied:
- Alice is presently The Vamp, but Bob comments that she used to be very different.
- Alice takes Bob along for her Honey Trap mission, and they become a couple shortly after.
- Played for Laughs: Alice has no idea how to really act sexual, and she comically fails in her new persona.
- Played for Drama: Alice is sexually abused due to her more provocative behavior and lack of good instincts and is subject to Victim-Blaming afterward.
Put on the high heels and Be a Whore to Get Your Man.
