Sometimes, a girl puts her hand under her chin to put on an elegant display in front of her peers. Whether it's smugly, nobly, nervously, or it's just a habit.
This trope is made exactly for this gesture.
The Grace Face Pose is a Modeling Pose where a female character elegantly holds the back of her hand underneath her chin with her fingers often stretched upward. This is often paired with Noblewoman's Laugh, or, in certain cases, done by the Tsundere.
It dates back to the days when high-class women carried folding fans, and that moving or holding the fans in certain ways was essentially social code. Holding the fan under the chin suggested amusement, with an open fan being coy and flirty, while a closed fan suggested condescension, for example: "I'm laughing at you, not with you". Fans disappeared over time but the body language stayed.
Try to spread out all of the examples and try not to make it only when a female character does a Noblewoman's Laugh. However, it can be paired with the trope.

A male example for Kokichi Ouma from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, who will put his hand under his chin with a smug smile on his face whenever he feels confident that he'll win. Which is very apparent during class trials.

Estir from Sucker for Love puts her hand under her chin whenever she does her Noblewoman's Laugh. Especially prominent when you act as her servant in the game.

Sweetheart in OMORI frequently puts her hand under her chin and does a Noblewoman's Laugh, with her even doing this in her battle sprite during her Boss Fight.

From Street Fighter we have Karin Kanzuki. Her signature Noblewoman's Laugh accompanies the Grace Face pose in a mocking manner.
