Ah, the hand fan, one of the most simple, yet still important part of the Requisite Royal Regalia.
Ever since its invention in around 2000 BC, handheld fans have been widely regarded as a status symbol sought after by the upper echelons of society. In Ancient China, rounded fans made of silk or feathers were often used in ceremonies by members of the higher social classes. Meanwhile, huge oblong-shaped fans called wumingshan or zhangshan were reserved for the Emperor and represented imperial power and authority. Hence, it is quite common to find visual depictions of the emperors being surrounded by attendants holding fans.
The folding fan was invented in Japan and introduced to China during the 10th century. While this new fan model was initially rejected by the Chinese market for being "low-class", it eventually became fashionable enough for even the Emperor to adopt as a gift to his mother. These hand fans (both the rigid and foldable types) eventually made their way to Europe around the 15th to 16th century, where they became popular among the nobility, and many highborn women of the period would have their portraits painted while carrying a hand fan. The aristocrats would eventually incorporate the fans in their day-to-day social interactions, and proper fan etiquette may be featured in a Proper Lady's Lessons in Sophistication.
There are many reasons why the fan retains its classy appeal even though they have become more or less a dime a dozen nowadays. First of all, the hand fan is easily customizable, and expensive materials such as ivory and gemstones can be used to set the fans owned by the nobility apart from the "common" variety. Fancy needlework, painting, and/or poetry can also be drawn on the fans' screens in order to make them even more unique, one-of-a-kind, and exquisite (especially if they are handcrafted by famous artisans). Furthermore, the hand fans can be used to shield ladies' faces from the glare of the sunlight and keep their skin smooth and pasty. Its cooling effect also allows these women to walk around in their elaborate dresses without getting sweaty and icky. It is also commonly used by the ladies to cover their mouth while gossiping or doing a Noblewoman's Laugh because some cultures dictate that noblewomen shouldn't expose their mouths while talking. All in all, the hand fan is a great accessory for people who want to appear graceful and sophisticated in their social setting.
If the noble turns out to be Silk Hiding Steel, the Combat Hand Fan is also a perfect weapon that allows them to be deadly while still maintaining their elegance and classy persona.
Since fans are often seen as feminine objects, male characters who make use of them are also usually seen as being In Touch with His Feminine Side.
Sister Trope to High-Class Glass, High-Class Gloves, and Parasol of Prettiness.
Compare Paper Fan of Doom, a comedic trope where a Dope Slap is performed with a paper fan.
This trope is not about fans of works that are of high status, or fans who are highly regarded within the fandom.

Genshin Impact: Ningguang and Kamisato Ayaka are two high-class girls who wield fans demonstrating their high status, with some differences:
Ningguang is one of the heads of Liyue Qixing (lit. "Seven Stars of Liyue"), a high financial council that rules the region of Liyue, being the richest person in this region and even owning her own Ominous Floating Castle (the "Jade Chamber"). Ningguang is seen using a fan in various of her cinematics in the game.
Kamisato Ayaka is a Proper Lady that comes from Kamisato Clan, one of the wealthiest noble families from Inazuma and even being in charge of one of the three commissions that rule Inazuma, the Yashiro Commission. Different from Ningguang, Ayaka uses her fan not just in cinematics, but in some of her moves in-game, especially her Elemental Burst.

Bleach: Parodied with former Captain Kisuke Urahara, who carries around a carries a hand fan with him, which he occasionally uses to hide his face or make gags, such as doing his own version of Noblewoman's Laugh with a fan pressed to his face. But despite his previous rank, he's hardly regal or classy, so seeing him use a fan in a fancy manner is Played for Laughs and illustrates him as a Bunny-Ears Lawyer.

Miraculous Ladybug:
The tool of the Peacock Miraculous is a peacock-themed hand fan, and whoever uses it to transform both gains it as a Combat Hand Fan and gets a fancy outfit to go with it and start to act in a more flamboyant manner too, seemingly started posing with the fan on instinct. Notably, most people who ended up getting their hands on it are high-class people, such as Gabriel Agreste, Nathalie Sancoeur, and Félix Fathom.

Final Fantasy XIV:
House Thorne, once the ruling dynasty of the oligarchic sultanate of Ul'dah, has a family dance passed down for generations since the time of Princess Edvya. It involves a series of complex movements that incorporates an ornate hand fan that Edvya used to leave onlookers speechless. Her descendant, Aldithya, wishes to subvert this during the 2023 Little Ladies' Day festivities by distributing copies of the fan to those enjoying the holiday, reasoning that it would be what her Rebellious Princess ancestor would have wanted.
Tsukuyomi is one of the amatsukami, the highest gods worshiped in the Far Eastern religion. When battled as a primal in Stormblood, she carries an ornate hand fan to strike the players in melee combat and summons copies of the fan that sweep an area in the shape of a full moon. This demonstrates her power, status, and divinity as the Lady of the Moon.

Tsukiuta often features these in their dance lives. It overlaps with the use of fans in traditional Japanese (and Chinese) dances, but when Hajime, Six Gravity's "King" and a member of in-universe nobility, uses them, it falls under this as well. In the dance for "Aa, Kami wo Nadete, Hoho wo Nadete, Aishiteyaru" ("Oh, let me caress your hair and your cheeks and love you"), Hajime essentially plays an oiran, and these are used by both him and his backup dancers. "Musubi no Tsuki" is another of Hajime's solos where he shows off his classy elegance with fans.

Mrs. Hawking: Nearly every show in the series features elegant balls, meaning that both main characters and extras will carry elaborate fans. Two examples stand out:
In Mrs. Hawking, the first play of the series, Mary is tasked with attending a fancy dress ball to get intel on Lord Brockton, a prominent blackmailer. She's thus given a Princess for a Day ensemble that includes a fan, which she's not entirely comfortable with. Mary mostly uses the fan to cover her face while she's trying to come up with a convincing backstory about being wealthy.
In Base Instruments, Nathaniel, Clara, and Justin Hawking attend a gala benefit for the visiting Russian ballet. Yulia Sherba, one of the ballerinas, opens her fan in a dramatic wave while passing Justin as a symbol that she's both available and looking; Justin, being a Lovable Sex Maniac, immediately gets the hint.

Persona:
Persona 3: Bebe is the only member of the fashion club and is always carrying around a custom black hand fan in his hand, as a nod not only to his pompous personality but his love for Japanese culture.
Persona 4: Downplayed with Yukiko. She is an Ojou, the sole heiress of the traditional and wealthy Amagi family, and is associated with folding hand fans, featured with them often in official artwork and having a Combat Hand Fan being her weapon in the shadow world, but she doesn't carry them around with her daily file.
Persona 5: Haru's persona Milady is based on the fictional French noblewoman and Femme Fatale Milady de Winter, and she has Victorian-style design and style, complete with a fancy fur-trimmed fan that she always holds in one of her hands.

Ting-Ting seems to especially hold on to hers, as she is the oldest and most mature of them, and during their "I Want" Song, "I Wanna Be Like Other Girls", her younger sisters rip the fan out of her hands when trying to convince her to live a little.

Mulan: When Mulan is meeting with the Matchmaker (an Etiquette Nazi who judges a woman's value as a wife), she's asked to recite a final admonition, which she does while pulling a fan and hiding her face, under the pretense of making herself look more regal, but it's actually so the Matchmaker won't notice her reading the final admonition notes scribbled in her arm. It is implied that many young women write notes on the fan itself, as the Matchmaker immediately grabs and inspects it.

Bridgerton: "Art of the Swoon" sees the Proper Lady Daphne descend a staircase carrying a fluffy white fan. She drops it on purpose and predictably, Prince Charming Friedrich gallantly picks it up and gives it back to her. The courtly scene has the dual purpose of charming the visitors and telling her "suitor" Simon that she has other options.

She has it with her even in the boss fight with her Bloodsucker form, only dropping it when she turns into her Bloodlust form.

Pokémon: The Series:
Jessiebelle, James' fiancee, is introduced coquettishly hiding her face behind a fan. She's even shown in flashbacks doing this as a small child. She's a subversion of an Ojou; she's high-class, looks and dresses the part, and is obsessed with "proper" behavior, but her own behavior is anything but proper.
Pokémon the Series: Black & White: In "The Clubsplosion Begins!" and "Search for the Clubultimate!", one of the tournament trainers, Gail, is a Proper Lady who keeps a fancy fur-trimmed fan with her the entire time.
