This is whenever a low- to middle-class girl gets to put on some fancy clothes and pretends to be a member of the upper class for a short time — maybe even a princess. Often it's to go to a royal ball, but it could be for different reasons. It could be part of The Con, or because she's been telling a loved one or rival living somewhere else that she is part of the upper class, and must now Maintain the Lie. If it's the latter, expect the deception to be exposed, and An Aesop about honesty and being yourself. Other times, it's just that girl showing up and having a good time. In many of these plots, one other person happens to know the true identity of this unfamiliar lady, but can't expose it without bringing down scandal upon himself. Despite the title, this happens with guys as well. Often involves She Cleans Up Nicely and Pimped-Out Dress. Also a key component of a Prince and Pauper plot. A Sub-Trope of Penny Among Diamonds. Compare Mock Millionaire. |

Occurred in Gilmore Girls when Emily wanted to show off her perfect granddaughter Rory. Emily wanted Rory to attend a debutante ball. This was sort of a sore point for Lorelai, who didn't want Rory to have the same silver spoon upbringing that she did. In Rory's freshman year at college, her grandmother wanted to make her into a princess to introduce Rory to Emily's friends' sons. She even wore a tiara for the occasion. She was hugely embarrassed when she realized that she's the only woman among a bunch of men. |

In Dragon Quest III, after returning the stolen crown, the king willingly steps down and declares you king in his place. The former king is more than happy to step down so he can have fun gambling at the monster pit, but you have far more important things to do like saving the world. Fortunately, the former king understands this and is willing to retake his throne... though every time you save there, he will again offer you the opportunity to become king again in his stead. | |

In a Naruto filler, Ino is tasked with filling in for a princess, who's ashamed of her weight (after stress-eating) but has to meet her fiance for the first time before the wedding. (Ino is specifically chosen because she looks like the princess.) Little does she know that her fiance is actually a Chubby Chaser. Naruto uses his Sexy Jutsu and gets in on the act, too. | |

Scandinavia and the World; in the strip "Australian Princess," Sister Australia is sad because she wants to go to the royal ball, but she can't since Australia doesn't have a monarchy. Denmark makes her an honorary Danish princess so she can go, and the two happily enjoy each other's company for the night. | |

Emberella in Witches Abroad really is a princess (well, daughter of the ruler of the city at least - technically he was a baron), but she's not the one who goes to the ball; Magrat Garlick is. * Magrat herself later becomes a queen for real by marrying the king of a completely different country. | |

In both the first anime and the manga, Sailor Moon investigates a party being held in honor of Princess D, since she's in possession of a very rare jewel that may be the Sivler Crystal. She uses her magic pen to morph into a princess, and has her fun until the enemy attacks. She also gets a dance and a kiss with Tuxedo Mask (although she doesn't seem to remember the latter, seeing as she was drunk and sleepy at the time). | |

In Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw and the musical adaptation My Fair Lady, working-class Eliza Doolittle gets to attend an embassy ball as a lady. The one person who suspects her ends up entirely convinced that she's the genuine article. Unlike many versions, this one puts a lot of emphasis on the large amount of speech and etiquette training required to pull off the deception convincingly, and also the question of whether, after an experience like that, one can just go on with one's life as if nothing had happened. | |

There are a few times when Anne Shirley dresses up and goes on outings into town. One memorable occasion has her attend a charity event where she and a number of other people recite monologues. While she initially feels miserable, plain, and nervous amongst the famous people who are clearly much higher-class and wearing more expensive clothes than her, she impresses everyone with her monologue, is invited to meet and mingle with said higher-class guests, and later learns that a skilled painter had admired her hair. | |

The girls do this when they go to the princess finishing school for one episode of the first anime. Ami and Makoto pass, Rei, Minako and Usagi do NOT. Since the whole princess school gig was a trap from the enemy to capture Sailor Moon/Princess Serenity (which involved brainwashing an English noblewoman who lived in Japan so she'd become The Mole), this means the three rejected girls avert capture by the Monster of the Week and completely trash the plan. | |

It's not a party, but at one point in Fruits Basket, Tohru is invited to take a vacation at a Sohma family-owned hot spring resort as a White Day gift. Lampshaded when a blown-over Tohru says that she feels like a princess, since she isn't used to such luxuries. | |

DC issue #28 of The Powerpuff Girls was titled "Princess For A Day," but was instead a dialogue-less story of Princess Morbucks at Pokey Oaks Kindergarten being upstaged at every turn by the Powerpuffs. | |

In Infinite Space, in order to get somebody from the LMC who is willing to hear about Lugovalos threat, Nia disguises herself as a representative from Lanco Warship Manufacturing (using the dress that Yuri bought for her) to attend the conference at Zefiro. And a few hours later into the game, we learn that she was a princess... | |

Firefly's episode "Shindig": Kaylee was an example of "just that girl showing up and having a good time"; she enjoyed herself tremendously except for one run-in with the Alpha Bitch (who got put in her place anyway). She wore a fancy dress but never pretended to be anything she wasn't, and this made her the most popular young woman there. All the young men (and a fair number of the not-so-young men) at the party were fascinated by a pretty woman who knew more about engines than they did. Mal was partly a Prince for a Day. At first, he was at the event only because he was interested in getting their job done and he needed to make a contact there, but then when he saw Inara, he decided to join in and have some fun, dancing with her. |

In Merlin (2008), Gwen impersonated Morgana in one season 2 ep, after she and Morgana were captured by bandits. Morgana escaped and the henchman taking Gwen back begged her to impersonate Morgana for fear that the leader, Hengist, would kill him if he didn't bring back Morgana. | |

Smurfette in The Smurfs (1981) was made queen for a day by her fellow Smurfs in one episode as a way to celebrate her birthday. The problem was that Father Time fell asleep while fishing, so he forgot to end the day, resulting in Endless Daytime. | |

Sailor Moon: The girls do this when they go to the princess finishing school for one episode of the first anime. Ami and Makoto pass, Rei, Minako and Usagi do NOT. Since the whole princess school gig was a trap from the enemy to capture Sailor Moon/Princess Serenity (which involved brainwashing an English noblewoman who lived in Japan so she'd become The Mole), this means the three rejected girls avert capture by the Monster of the Week and completely trash the plan. In both the first anime and the manga, Sailor Moon investigates a party being held in honor of Princess D, since she's in possession of a very rare jewel that may be the Sivler Crystal. She uses her magic pen to morph into a princess, and has her fun until the enemy attacks. She also gets a dance and a kiss with Tuxedo Mask (although she doesn't seem to remember the latter, seeing as she was drunk and sleepy at the time). Sorta happens in the S anime, when a rich old man who's a friend of Mamoru invites him and the Inner Senshi to a very posh party in his Big Fancy House. Haruka and Michiru also attend the ball since they're stated to play the piano and the violin there, respectively. Then Usagi is so nervous that she takes a chug of liquor thinking it's normal juice, and hilarity ensues. |

In Catherine, The Great Journey of The Royal Diaries she has nothing nice enough to wear to the royal court until the king lets her borrow a gown belonging to the king's sister. When she has to return it it reminds her of the story about the little ash girl who was beautiful until the stroke of midnight. | |

In Why Polly?, Polly, a mere flower girl, gets to dress up as the princess and spend the night in the palace. It would be a lot more fun if she hadn't been kidnapped... | |
