Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is when characters get paid to wear clothes, whether simple or fancy, to make the clothes look good. Their work most often is seen in Fashion Shows, Fashion Magazines, and Up Marketing ads where they often do glamorous Modeling Poses. If nothing else, it's an excuse to have some Costume Porn in the show. In the earlier decades of Haute Couture, such models were called "mannequins", though that term is now used to refer to store dummies made to model clothes. In fiction this is often portrayed as a glamorous and enviable profession, especially for women. In the mid 20th century, this was seen as one of the proper professions for ladies (at least until she became a housewife), since it was seen as a passive job, and it made a great excuse for shows to utilize the costuming department. Even today male models are rarely shown compared to women. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })For even more costume porn, these characters may become Fashionistas and own an Unlimited Wardrobe, in addition to all the clothes they model. You can also expect them to possibly strike a Head-and-Hip Pose. Yet works may also acknowledge the downside of the profession. Since models need to look good themselves to help make the clothes look good, this emphasizes an obsession on their appearance. This leads to the stereotype that models are stupid, vain, and shallow. Even worse, the need to keep up appearances can be a source of stress. I Just Want to Be Beautiful is justified in this profession, since the character's livelihood is at stake. Such characters may turn to alcohol and drug use. If people can stay above those problems, they may become world famous, and dubbed a "Supermodel". In which case just doing their job often doubles as a Celebrity Endorsement. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })A School Idol is very likely to either be a Fashion Model or have it suggested that they become one. Characters are often shown in-story to be considered very good-looking by having scouts approach them in the street suggesting they should be a model or actor. Although not all of these scouts are trustworthy. In fiction, a model who plays any significant part in the story is almost always a woman, although there are exceptions. Realistically, there are of course also many male models who showcase men's clothes (or even women's clothes, sometimes), but they don't get the same attention. Both in fiction and in real life, there is also a preference for white European models, although this is changing as the industry comes to implement increasing inclusivity, tolerance and rejection of restrictive Eurocentric ideals of traditional feminine beauty. Some characters may try doing this just for fun, or because they they are undercover. Some real-life actors and actresses started out as professional models. A Sister Trope to Fashion Designer (who makes the clothes models wear), Hood Ornament Hottie (whatever they wear, they are there to make the car look good) and Fanservice Model (who specializes in lingerie, swimsuits and even sexy costumes). Compare Rule of Glamorous, Fashion-Shop Fashion Show, The Beautiful Elite, Model Couple, Virtual Paper Doll. See also Undercover Model (an officer or agent working as a model, or other related event). Not to be confused with Only a Model. |

Angel: Cordelia is a would-be actress and gets a job as a bikini model in one episode. The photographer insults and berates her until she quits, after which she doesn't appear to try to be an actress any more. the only exception to that is the episode Birthday, where she takes up the offer to re-do the time she has spent with Angel Investigations to become a famous actress. Eventually she resumes her old life and becomes part demon to be able to endure her visions. | |

Jeff Hardy is an unorthodox case, but when the man was TNA World Heavyweight Champion with Immortal he was a borderline Drag Queen. And even when he wears more "masculine" clothing it ranges from casual t shirts, and wife beaters, to just strange like t shirts over t shirts, to form fitting polyester, to crop tops with detached sleeves, to more rugged biker vests and protection suits, to stripper like v necks, to glow in the dark paint, to the occasional collared shirt and tie, which honestly looks more jarring on him after you've seen everything else. And even his otherwise formal attire often comes in bright clashing colors. Ladies love him. | |

Adrien Agreste in Miraculous Ladybug models for his father's fashion company when he's not fighting evil as the superhero Chat Noir. He's very popular because of it and had to spend one episode hiding from a group of his crazed fans after he made a commercial about a cologne (named after him, to boot.) It's made clear, however, that Adrien mainly models to make his distant father happy and is much happier going to a regular school and being a superhero than a teen supermodel. | |

Moonlighting: Maddie Hayes is a former model. It doesn't have much plot relevance other than her owning the detective agency as a tax write-off but now using it seriously after her accountant embezzled her savings. Dave Addison renames the agency "Blue Moon Investigations" after her famous role as the "Blue Moon Shampoo Girl" as part of his attempts to persuade Maddie to keep the agency open. The backstory also gave the costumers reason to have her wear many fancy dresses and fur coats. | |

Most of her clothing is self sewn and of a "Gothic" bent, but even with the occasional skull or eyeball she dresses in a wide variety of outfits, especially as a ring announcer and manager, from gowns, to corsets, to mini dresses to jumpsuits and in all sorts of hats, especially top hats that are tiny and tilted. | |

Jimmy Jacobs will wear anything of any size, shape or color, even if it's considered unmanly. Especially if it's considered unmanly. Sometimes it's trunks and furry boots like Bruiser Brody. Sometimes it's a tutu. Sometimes he's a horny viking like John Nord. Sometimes he wears a business suit. And sometimes he wears a tiara. Sometimes he dresses as a heavy metal king, sometimes as an Emo Teen and sometimes as a beauty pageant queen. He'll come out with a towel or a scarf. Vests or crop tops. Sometimes he'll mix some of these up with each other. | |

Most of the Fashion Club, including Quinn, are the finalists before a "Solider of Fortune" style magazine breaks it up with their own presentation (which Daria had set up, since the contest was a violation of school ethics). In another episode the students take career tests, and Quinn's predicted career was a neck model, but she gave up that possibility when she got a horrible chest rash. |

In Tsukipro: Rikka used to be primarily a model before joining SolidS and becoming a singer. He still does a lot of modeling. He is tall, half French, with shoulder-length pink hair, and is considered the Team Mom of his unit. All of the characters model from time to time, as part of their Idol Singer work. The first anime features an episode where Hajime models for a womens' cosmetic line, wearing lipstick, and what turned out to be his costume from Rabbits Kingdom without the bunny ears. In the second anime, it is said that the campaign was so successful that they want to have a second one with SolidS' Rikka and Dai. |

Sofia Cortez veered towards this in between her matches in the revived FCW and the developmental version of NXT. She was reportedly considered not "feminine enough", despite wrestling in a small top and tight pants, so she tried being seen in more bustiers and bracelets and less in her usual warmups and headbands. (Maxine tried solving the same problem with more overt fan service, but it didn't work. Cortez's worked worse, but give her credit for trying) | |

In Step by Step Karen Foster is an aspiring model. In one episode she convinces her mother Carol to join her in a mother-daughter pageant (and finds that appealing to the lecherous judges is not worth doing to win the contest). In another she's hired for a fashion shoot, but Carol comes along to keep Karen safe, since Karen is 15 (which Carol repeatedly reminds everyone there). Then an older model convinces Karen to at least finish school before trying to be a model, as she did otherwise and still regrets it. |

Several major characters are models in Wandering Son: Nitori's older sister, Maho, is a huge fangirl of the popular tween model Maiko and decides to take up modeling. She only gets in at first though due to her gimmick that she and her "crossdressing brother" look like twins, however later Nitori stops modeling while Maho becomes respected. It's after becoming a model that Maho and Nitori meet Suehiro Anna, who later becomes Nitori's girlfriend and Maho's best friend though at first Anna gets along poorly with them. Late into the manga Takatsuki gets recruited as a model due to her tall looks and eventually joins the same agency as Anna and the others. Being praised and seen as a beautiful, androgynous model along with other issues is what causes Takatsuki to reconsider if she's a trans boy or not. |
