Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Maybe she's the Girl Next Door who's just gotten a makeover, and it's time to show her family. Maybe she's the Cinderella Expy making her grand entrance at the ball. Maybe she's just finally ready for her date. So how does she ensure her entrance 'wows' everyone there? She'll appear at the top of a wide, sweeping staircase. (Bonus points for marble banisters, fancy new carpeting, or spotlights.) She pauses a moment, either at the top or a few steps down, so everyone has a chance to take in her beauty, how nice her face is, and her elegant hair and clothes (would even involve a Pimped-Out Dress in older stories). Once noticed, she slowly and gracefully descends. Often this will be shown visually with the camera starting at the feet and slowly panning up the figure. When wearing a dress with a long skirt, stepping down gives her a chance to show off her shoes and legs without being immodest. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Often, but not necessarily, combined with She Cleans Up Nicely. Compare Ending by Ascending, when a character goes up a staircase dramatically. This item is available in the Trope Co. catalog. Examples: |

In Cinderella, when Ella enters the ball, everyone there is stunned and can't stop looking at her. At the end of the film, she gets another, less grand but no less important staircase entrance as she finally appears to the Prince as she normally is (rather than in an enchanted dress). | |

Cinderella did it first... three times! First when Cinderella surprises her stepmother and stepsisters in her new pink dress (although this is cruelly subverted just moments later), then when she meets the Prince at the ball (though this slightly differs from the traditional entrance by having her walk up the stairs rather than down the stairs), and, finally, at the end when she comes down the stairs of her home to prove the slipper is hers. | |

Frozen: Elsa does this when Anna finds her in her Ice Palace. Anna even has the traditional "Whoa, Elsa, you look... different! It's a good different!" reaction in regards to Elsa's Snow Queen outfit. Olaf's Frozen Adventure has a downplayed example with Elsa. She first appears walking down the palace stairs, just in the middle of the frame, with little of the visual flair this trope usually has, but it is the first time we see the queen in her Happy Holidays Dress, and she's using her powers to make ice decorations on the banisters. |

Daredevil (2015): In season 2 episode 5, when Matt goes to Elektra's penthouse, Elektra makes her entrance into the scene coming downstairs from the penthouse's upper level wearing a red silk nightgown, which she swiftly strips off so she can slip on her vigilante gear to take down some ninjas who are after her. In season 3 episode 8, Karen decides to visit Wilson Fisk in his penthouse and try to provoke him into attacking her. While she waits in Fisk's refurnished living room, the effect of coming face to face with the man responsible for all of her pain and suffering is heightened by Fisk making his entrance by descending downstairs from the upper floor of the penthouse (likely having been in the secret command center accessible via his bedroom closet). |

In the first act of The Addams Family, Wednesday appears at the top of the stairs just after her "normal" fiance and his parents have arrived. Not exactly grand, but the "everyone stares" bit is played straight- because she's wearing a yellow dress (identical to her normal outfit in all but color). The general reaction is one of horror rather than admiration, from everyone except her future in-laws; in a cut line from the Chicago preview, said fiance even tells her to "take that dress and burn it." | |

The Fontainebleu Resort in Miami has a curving staircase in the lobby that only goes to a small coat room. It was designed for women dressed in couture to descend down it wearing their finest evening attire, on full display for everyone to watch. Best illustrated by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which filmed a sequence of Midge descending the staircase in season 3. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Inverted in the episode "After Life", where Buffy descends the stairs in her house and Spike is rendered dumbstruck. In this case, it's because she's been dead and buried for the past 147 days. In "Halloween", Buffy convinces Shrinking Violet Willow to do the "coming down the staircase thing" to impress Xander, whom she has a crush on. Willow does...dressed as a Bedsheet Ghost, so the glamorous effect is lost. |

In Finder's Stone, Cat is awe-struck as Giogi descends the staircase of his townhouse in a form-fitting dress whose neckline is described as "nowhere near the neck." Of course, she is actively trying to manipulate him and secretly working for the villain. | |

In the DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, one character makes their entrance this way, doubly impressive because there was no staircase, they were stepping on the air. | |

Olaf's Frozen Adventure has a downplayed example with Elsa. She first appears walking down the palace stairs, just in the middle of the frame, with little of the visual flair this trope usually has, but it is the first time we see the queen in her Happy Holidays Dress, and she's using her powers to make ice decorations on the banisters. | |
