Pauline wears a fitted red halter neck dress with a bow knot connecting the straps behind her neck, and a low cut back. This dress has been torn in the earlier art, notably in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Action Special]]'' where she kicks Donkey Kong and threatens payback. In the majority of main appearances since ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', the dress is slightly sparkly. Also in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', as mayor, she also wears accompanying red pantsuit which appears in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''. Her other alternate outfits in later games such as in ''Mario Kart Tour'', ''Mario Tennis Aces'', and ''Mario Golf: Super Rush'' are variations of this dress or draw their colors from it. In ''Mario Kart Tour'', she received three alternate outfits: Party Time, Rose, and Cowgirl. When driving a bike in ''Mario Kart'', as with Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina, Pauline wears a fitting jumpsuit, and her hair is tied back.
