Who says that being an ass-whupping Action Girl means you can't wear feminine, pretty, opulent clothes? In some works, the two go hand-in-awesome-but-elegant-hand. And no Action Dress Ripping either. These are Impossibly Cool Clothes, that don't get in the way while this lady is mowing down hordes of Mooks or blowing stuff up. Not that there can't be Clothing Damage, but expect the clothes to be fine next episode (barring getting a new outfit next season). A Sub-Trope of Badass, Rule of Cool, Rule of Glamorous, Costume Porn. Contrast Stripperific, Real Women Never Wear Dresses.
