A girl who wears a tank top may or may not be an Action Girl, but she will often be considered a Tomboy, a Lad-ette, or someone cut from a rougher cloth. The Tank Top is a very standard garment for a typical Hollywood Action Hero. Tank tops, especially utilitarian versions, are typically associated with laborious activities — and thus often used to make women seem more "butch", "tough", or "masculine". Even the sexier variations are not exempt from this association. For example, both First Blood and the original Die Hard featured their protagonists in one for most of the movie. However, at some point between their peak in The '80s and The Turn of the Millennium, tank tops have lost their appeal with action protagonists. At least, they did for men. For women, the tank top still remains a reliable tool for both costuming and characterization. It's both practical and can show off impressive amounts of skin, the exact amount depending on exactly how much sex appeal the creators are going for. In drawn mediums such as animation or comic books, what looks like a functional and sporty tank top/sports bra in an action scene can also look like a sexy camisole in a more relaxed one. This trope has also become common in Western horror movies, for similar reasons as the above. During The '90s, the traditional Final Girl as an avatar of conservative sexual morality became a Discredited Trope thanks to Scream and the resulting boom in self-aware "meta" horror in the latter half of the decade, but the basic concept of the female Sole Survivor didn't die. Instead, the Final Girl adapted with the times, with more focus placed on her being a credible match for whatever bad guys or monsters the film throws her way as opposed to surviving on the strength of her moral virtue. Unsurprisingly, the tank top became popular attire for female survivors in horror movies. It helps that, while a tank top can easily be made sexy, it doesn't scream "sexually active", meaning that the woman in the tank top can still be credible in the more traditional Final Girl role, even if it's not the focus. A Zig Zagged Sub-Trope of Gendered Outfit and Stripperific, depending on the type of tank top. Common substitutes include a sports bra, a tube top, or (in Japanese media) Sarashi. A common feature of an Adrenaline Makeover, especially when a female character takes off her overshirt to reveal that she's wearing a tank top underneath. Sub-Trope of Sleeves Are for Wimps. Not to be confused with Shorttank, which despite the name is about a tomboyish deuteragonist in shonen-oriented works, though she often does wear one of these. See also Amazonian Beauty, who also tends to dress this way and display the habits. |

Huntress in Birds of Prey (2020) wears a sleeveless purple crop top underneath her leather jacket, and while all of the titular Birds of Prey are Action Girls, Huntress takes it above and beyond into a parody of a violent, emotionally stunted '90s Anti-Hero who desperately wants to be taken seriously as a lethal, ruthless assassin. Black Canary also frequently dresses like this, played more for fanservice in her case, as befitting her more glamorous character (a nightclub singer who's also a driver/fixer for Sionis). | |

Sheriff Julie Forester in Piranha 3D starts the film in a police uniform, but during the piranha attack on the beach, she takes off her shirt to use as a makeshift bandage for some of the victims, and thus spends the rest of the film in the gray tank top she was wearing underneath as she heads out to rescue her kids. Kelly also spends the film in tank tops, but she serves chiefly as a Damsel in Distress. | |

Ziggy Berman in Fear Street Part Two: 1978, a Fiery Redhead camper from Shadyside who has been routinely getting in trouble at camp to the point that she's on the verge of being kicked out and sent home, wears a striped tank top and a pair of short shorts. She's also wearing one in 1994 when the protagonists from Part One meet her. Alice, the punkish, short-haired, pot-smoking counselor who's introduced banging Arnie, also wears a white one. | |

The Anaconda series loves this trope. Terri Flores in the first film, in what was a pretty transparent excuse to have Jennifer Lopez running around all hot and sweaty in the jungle. Sam Rogers from Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid kept up the tradition, with her outfits mainly consisting of sleeveless wear. Gali Stern also spends the film wearing an brown overshirt, but by the end of the film she's wearing a white tank top. Amanda Hayes from both Anaconda 3: The Offspring and Anacondas: Trail of Blood who wears a tanktop in both films. Reba from Lake Placid vs. Anaconda while she spends the first hour of the film in her uniform, is down to a tanktop by the end of the film after her uniform is covered in blood. |

Uncharted: Elena Fisher in Drake's Fortune. While the game's protagonist Nathan Drake is a hunky Spear Counterpart to (pre-reboot) Lara Croft, Elena's sex appeal is toned down compared to Lara's, being portrayed as more modestly endowed and dressed with the emphasis instead being placed on her as Drake's equal in the action and adventure. Later games in the Uncharted series notably give her long-sleeve shirts instead. In the epilogue to A Thief's End, we're introduced to young Cassie Drake wearing a black tank top, one of many indications that she's taken after her adventurous parents. |

Night of the Living Dead (1990) had Barbara in one during the third act. Again, much like Laurie Strode in Halloween (2018), this marks a big change from the original 1968 film, where Barbara wore a more demure sleeveless dress and was a far more passive character. | |

In the Alien franchise, Ellen Ripley, the Action Girl model that many try to emulate, wears a tank top in several films. It's subverted in the first film, where her stripping down to a tank top and underwear during the climax is meant to show her as vulnerable, and averted entirely in Aliens where she spends the film in overalls and a T-shirt, but it's played completely straight in Alien³, where she gets a buzzcut on top of it in order to blend in with a bunch of macho male prisoners, and Alien: Resurrection, where it's paired with a sleeveless vest. Vasquez, the butch Action Girl in Aliens, also wears one when we're first introduced to her. | |

Both of the major female characters in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Mia Winters and Zoe Baker, are dressed like this. While Mia spends most of the game as a Damsel in Distress, once she's freed (and in a flashback) she proves more than capable of fighting monsters, while Zoe was the only person in her family who escaped infection by the Mold. | |

She may not be very tomboyish, but Claire Dearing from Jurassic World wears a light purple tank top underneath her white business shirt, and she is portrayed as an uptight, and not particularly feminine, corporate suit. Throughout the film, her Character Development ultimately makes her take a big level in badass, and starting with the beginning of the last act, she discards her business shirt entirely. The film even lampshades it when she undoes her shirt in front of Owen (in a manner that recalls how Ellie Sattler was dressed) as if to tell him that she can handle herself, a scene that's initially Played for Laughs only for Claire to later prove that she wasn't lying. | |

Hopper's girlfriend Samantha in Battleship, a physical therapist and Action Survivor who, after the Alien Invasion arrives, is the main subject of the parts of the film set on dry land. It's pretty transparently meant to show off the physique of her actress Brooklyn Decker, especially given how the trope is averted with the Action Girl Raikes (played by the more modestly-endowed Rihanna), who spends most of the film in her naval uniform. | |

Laurie Strode in Halloween (2018) is a great example of how the Final Girl trope evolved over the years and became associated with this. In the original film, she wore a long-sleeved button-up shirt and served as the Trope Codifier for the "classic" final girl, but in the 2018 film, she's wearing a tank top and has taken several levels in badass to the point of becoming a Crazy Survivalist. | |

Final Fantasy VII: Subverted with Tifa Lockhart. Her combat style and background heavily evoke this, with her being a bar owner and member of AVALANCHE who prefers to fight with Good Old Fisticuffs and is most commonly depicted wearing a midriff-baring white tank top. (In Advent Children, she pairs it with a black sleeveless vest.) However, this is combined with her having a very classically feminine personality, functioning as The Heart and the Team Mom of AVALANCHE. It's Aerith, despite her girly appearance and role as a White Magician Girl, who's the tomboy in their Tomboy and Girly Girl relationship. Played straight with Yuffie Kisaragi, a Ninja with Boyish Short Hair clad in a sleeveless, midriff-baring green turtleneck who serves as a Bratty Half-Pint version of this trope. She get a brief moment of Male Gaze in the opening scene of Dirge of Cerberus in part because of this and the camera's orbital view of her. |

All of the female protagonists in Army of the Dead with the lone exception of Marianne Peters, the Caper Crew's non-combatant helicopter pilot who wears overalls and was originally written as a man (the role having been recast due to the original actor getting caught grooming underage girls). Chambers in particular plays it up with a very fanservice-y, midriff-baring version of the outfit, and given that she's a social media influencer, it's likely that she deliberately invoked this trope. Kate, on the other hand, is a downplayed example, as her outfit was her work clothes and she gets less involved in the action than the rest of the crew, though she winds up being the Sole Survivor out of all of them. | |

The respective remakes of the second and third games both update their female protagonists' outfits in this manner, in an illustration of how well-embedded this trope had become by the late 2010s. In the second, the black shirt underneath Claire Redfield's vest/jacket is switched from a short-sleeve tee to a tank top, while the third swapped out Jill Valentine's tube top and miniskirt combo from the original game for a more practical yet still flattering tank top and jeans. | |

Wonder Girl: The original Wonder Girl (who was either Diana Prince or Donna Troy, depending on the continuity) wore a sleeveless shirt. It was depicted as either a sleeveless t-shirt or a tank top Depending on the Artist. Cassandra Sandsmark (pictured above) wore a tank top and jeans following Infinite Crisis. While Cassie is indeed a tomboy, as well as a Flying Brick, the real reason she chose to wear the outfit was in honor of her dead love, Superboy, who himself wore Civvie Spandex in the forms of jeans and a t-shirt. As shown in the picture, she also wore a tank top as an undergarment. |

Lara Croft of Tomb Raider, one of gaming's most iconic Action Girls, is most frequently seen in this type of outfit. Tomb Raider: Underworld heavily turned up the sex appeal, with ample cleavage and a bare midriff, while the 2013 reboot scaled it back, including ditching the booty shorts for cargo pants. Many examples on this page, when they aren't homaging Ellen Ripley, are probably homaging her. | |

Spoofed in The Final Girls with Paula, the tomboyish final girl of Camp Bloodbath who shows up in a tank top, leather jacket, and black Camaro... only for her to turn out to be a Faux Action Girl thanks to Max and her friends' presence in the movie, dying in a fiery car wreck without ever confronting the killer when she and Kurt try to escape. Played straight at the end when Max realizes that, as the only virgin among the surviving characters, she's now the final girl, which bestows upon her the superhuman ability to defeat the killer — and of course, she's wearing one of these underneath her flannel shirt. | |

Erin in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) is another example of this kind of evolution. While Sally, the final girl of the original film, did wear a tank top, she was more of a hippie than a tomboy. Erin, however, is portrayed as someone who's had run-ins with the law and knows how to pick locks and hotwire cars, and her shirt is noticeably lower-cut than Sally's and tied off at the bottom. | |

Juno from The Descent spends the movie in a low-cut tank top with a red sleeveless vest over it, and while the protagonists are Action Girls to varying degrees, she is portrayed as one above and beyond most of her friends, a Hot-Blooded adrenaline junkie whose impulsiveness caused her to lead her friends to a dangerous uncharted cave rather than the safer one they thought they were going to. The Final Girl Sarah also strips down to one after discarding layers of clothing during the movie. | |

Subverted in Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. Most of the female characters are wearing tank tops, but it's to show them as airheaded Alpha Bitches rather than tough survivors, the shirts in question being quite clearly designed for fashion and sex appeal. Sure enough, they ultimately destroy themselves with their bad decisions. The Final Girl Bee is also wearing one under her baggy shirt, but it's only seen briefly when she's changing her clothes, and she otherwise spends nearly the entire film wearing something over it. | |

Special Agent Tanya in the Command & Conquer: Red Alert Series, an elite female commando who serves as the Allied forces' hero unit, is always clad in a midriff-baring tank top paired with camouflage cargo pants. The sequels, which went Denser and Wackier, made her into an outright Ms. Fanservice on top of it, complete with Kari Wührer playing her in the second game and Jenny McCarthy in the third. | |

On Lost, tank tops were popular attire for all of the female characters, not surprising given that they were stranded on a tropical island, though some of them fit this archetype better than the others. The fugitive Action Girl Kate, the Crazy Survivalist Danielle, the LAPD officer Ana (played by the aforementioned Michelle Rodriguez), and the bounty hunter Ilana all serve as prime examples. Nikki, the ineffectual con artist, is a subversion; while she looks the part, she's little more than a Manipulative Bitch who suffers Death by Materialism. | |

Melanie Cross in Mayhem is a metalhead who's clearly uncomfortable in the business casual dress she has to wear into Towers & Smythe Consulting. When she, like the rest of the characters in the movie, gets infected with the ID-7 virus and starts giving into her angriest impulses, she quickly ditches her suit jacket for the red tank top she's wearing underneath, and later ditches that for the Black Dahlia Murder sleeveless band shirt she's wearing beneath it. | |

Red vs. Blue A deleted scene from season 10 depicts the Freelancer Saga's primary Action Girl, Agent Carolina as the third character from this show to be seen without their 24 Hour Armor. She's seen wearing a white tank top, walking into Club Errera the night she met fellow Freelancer, Love Interest, and curiously another one of the three Red vs Blue characters to be seen out of armor, Agent York. Before the revelation that Tex was really the Beta AI in a robotic body, based on the memory of the director's deceased wife, fan art existed that depicted her out of armor, wearing a black tank top. |

Abby Anderson in The Last of Us Part II is an extremely muscular and aggressive woman who beats Joel to death as revenge for killing her father and serves as the main antagonist for much of the game, doubling as a Villain Protagonist because the game alternates between her perspective and Ellie's throughout, with her segments of the game being far more combat-heavy as opposed to Ellie's stealthier focus. Outside the winter months, she's usually depicted wearing a sleeveless muscle shirt that shows off how jacked she is. | |

Big Brother: Season 11 had the tae kwon do champion Natalie Martinez, who was The Dragon to that season's Big Bad Ronnie and became the villain herself after Ronnie was evicted. However, her athleticism didn't translate to success in challenges; the reason she made it to the finale was because she ruled the house through manipulation and fear. Season 19 had Alex Ow, an Alpha Bitch with a volcanic temper who dominated the challenges and served as The Dragon to the Big Bad Paul. She very much played it for fanservice, knowing that she was one of the hottest women in the house. There was also Megan Lowder, a military veteran, though her PTSD ultimately caused an emotional breakdown that led her to walk out in week 2. |

In Mama, Annabel is a fairly normal Haunted Heroine when it comes to her role in the story, but aesthetically, it's an entirely different story. Instead of the "good girl" often associated with the character type, she's a tattooed bassist in a Punk Rock band, and her wardrobe naturally includes a lot of low-cut sleeveless shirts designed to show off Jessica Chastain's figure. | |

Cassandra Sandsmark (pictured above) wore a tank top and jeans following Infinite Crisis. While Cassie is indeed a tomboy, as well as a Flying Brick, the real reason she chose to wear the outfit was in honor of her dead love, Superboy, who himself wore Civvie Spandex in the forms of jeans and a t-shirt. As shown in the picture, she also wore a tank top as an undergarment. | |

Subverted in Dawn of the Dead (2004), where Ana starts the movie in a tank top and sweatpants... because those were her night clothes and she Slept Through the Apocalypse. She swaps them for a normal T-shirt and jeans at around the point where she goes from Action Survivor to Action Girl. Even during the climax when she's wearing a blue tank top, she throws on a denim jacket over it before jumping into the action. Nicole also wears a lot of outfits like this, but she's presented as The Load and fairly useless throughout the film. | |

Jurassic Park: Ellie Sattler and Lex Murphy in the original movie were downplayed examples, closer to Action Survivors like the rest of the human cast than Action Girls. Ellie also spent most of the movie wearing a button-up shirt over her blue tank top, and received some Adaptational Modesty compared to her counterpart from the book. Lex, meanwhile, is a tomboyish computer whiz, but she's also a 12-year-old girl, and she and her brother Tim are together portrayed as The Load. She may not be very tomboyish, but Claire Dearing from Jurassic World wears a light purple tank top underneath her white business shirt, and she is portrayed as an uptight, and not particularly feminine, corporate suit. Throughout the film, her Character Development ultimately makes her take a big level in badass, and starting with the beginning of the last act, she discards her business shirt entirely. The film even lampshades it when she undoes her shirt in front of Owen (in a manner that recalls how Ellie Sattler was dressed) as if to tell him that she can handle herself, a scene that's initially Played for Laughs only for Claire to later prove that she wasn't lying. Jurassic World Dominion has Kayla Watts, the roguish, morally ambiguous pilot/smuggler who ditches her bomber jacket for the gray tank top underneath not long after she enters the Biosyn refuge. |

The Fast and the Furious is a film franchise about blue-collar gearheads and (later) secret agents in Cool Cars fighting bad guys, and so naturally, a lot of the women are dressed like this. The most notable example is Letty Ortiz, a street racer, mechanic, and Dom Toretto's girlfriend and later wife, but others include the former Mossad operative Gisele Yashar, the street racer Suki who leads an all-female racing crew, the hacker Ramsey, the Brazilian police officer Elena Neves, and Elena's younger street racer sister Isabel who's presented as not all that different from her big sis. For a Dark Action Girl version, there's Cipher, the Ax-Crazy cyberterrorist villain of the eighth film and Greater-Scope Villain of the franchise who's often dressed like this when she's not wearing a suit. | |

Kiki's Delivery Service: Ursula, a young woman in her late teens living on her own during the summer in a cabin in the woods, is the embodiment of the strong-willed independence commonly desired by Japanese girls. Those attributes do make her come off as somewhat boyish, but her choice of attire (a red tank top and denim shorts) makes it very clear that she's a woman. She's a bit bemused when a stranger mistakes her for a boy, pointing out that no boy would have legs like hers. | |

In Saints Row IV, Kinzie Kensington starts out as a nerdy, agoraphobic hacker as in the previous game, but after completing her loyalty mission, her new superpowers in the virtual world come with a sleeveless, hooded superhero outfit to replace her FBI uniform. In Gat Out of Hell, she gets promoted to co-protagonist alongside Johnny Gat, and spends the game in a white tank top. Notably, Johnny gaining demonic powers and a Red Right Hand merely destroyed just one of the sleeves on his jacket, while it led Kinzie to ditch hers entirely. | |

In Horizon Zero Dawn, while several of the outfits available to Aloy are sleeveless, the light version of the Oseram Sparkworker outfit most heavily evokes this look with its gray tank top paired with a leather smock, as befitting the Oseram tribe's portrayal as rugged, scrappy gearheads. While the Oseram in their home territory are also very patriarchal, gender roles are less rigid in the distant outposts of theirs that Aloy visits, and as such, several of the Oseram women she meets sport this style, most notably Gera and Petra. | |

While the game's protagonist Nathan Drake is a hunky Spear Counterpart to (pre-reboot) Lara Croft, Elena's sex appeal is toned down compared to Lara's, being portrayed as more modestly endowed and dressed with the emphasis instead being placed on her as Drake's equal in the action and adventure. Later games in the Uncharted series notably give her long-sleeve shirts instead. | |

A not-uncommon fixture of female characters in the Saw movies. Amanda in the first film, the first character in the series who we see survive a Jigsaw trap. Jigsaw even recruits her as his apprentice after witnessing her survival. Addison in the second film, a loud and brash prostitute who is one of the only characters who isn't afraid of Xavier, and also one of the few people in the group who remains calm in the face of the situation they were thrown into. In the fifth film, guess what the Final Girl Brit, a calm, intelligent, self-confident, and ruthless businesswoman, is wearing under her power suit. Anna in Jigsaw is one of the film's most capable characters and an easy pick for the Final Girl. Too bad she was also a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, which in this series also makes one an easy pick for a Karmic Death. Angie Garza in Spiral: From the Book of Saw, the tough-talking, frequently-yelling police chief, normally wears one under her suit jacket. |
