This trope is for characters of any gender that have an alternate form or identity that is much sexier than their normal mode. Their normal mode need not necessarily be ugly, but it is generally more mundane or otherwise less appealing than their alternate mode. This usually invovles a change in their physical appearance, but sometimes involves personality changes instead of or in addition to physical changes. Changes might be accomplished through regular means such as acting and wardrobe changes, various Magic and Powers or Applied Phlebotinum, depending on the genre. This often overlaps with Split Personality, Shapeshifting, Older Alter Ego, and Super-Powered Alter Ego. It often results in Loves My Alter Ego.

Given that sexual attractiveness is subjective, the best examples are those when the sexier nature of the alternate form from the perspective of the characters is very cleary responded to or is clearly being intentionally used by the creator. Still, it is generally pretty clear when the creators of the story are trying to change someone from Hollywood Homely (or even downright ugly) to Ms. Fanservice or Hello, Nurse!. Compare A Darker Me. Compare also to Shapeshifting Seducer where a shapeshifter capable of assuming many forms takes on several forms in an attempt to appeal to a specific person. She Cleans Up Nicely should be used for when a character changes from their usually wardobe, hairstyle and such to be more attractive (particularly at a formal event) however this new appearance is not associated with an alter ego or alternate physical form. See also Bishounen Line for when a villain gets sexier once they hit a certain power level. Examples of Sexier Alter Ego include:
