y'know that bs "tomboy made to wear a dress and everyone is amazed at how pretty she 'really is'" trope?
i say we adopt its inverse more regularly: the high femme, very fashion-forward, dress-and-heels-only character suddenly has some contrivance where she has to show up in, like, sweatpants and a t-shirt.
everyone is amazed at how hot she still is, mostly because she's going HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO COMFY I LOVE IT and joy is sexy

i will also accept a variant:
high femme character has to go undercover and leave her dresses and high heels behind. instead she wears a perfectly tailored tuxedo and wingtip oxfords. a pile of people swoon at her feet as she remarks how it's nice she didn't have to pack any emergency ballet flats
