Characters or outfit you wish went in quicksand

Is there a time when you rewatched an episode or film and saw a character in a catching outfit and then you wish they somehow ended up in a quicksand pit (even if the scenario was unrealistic)?
I’ll start with some personal examples in no particular order:
Padme Amidala (Star Wars) – White battle outfit from Episode II: Kind of obvious, but she is hot in her tight white outfit and I can only imagine how she’d look trying to tread and even sink under the mud (or even a dry quicksand pit if there was one on Geonosis). I’d also have Leia in her Hoth outfit too, but between the two I’d think of Padme more often.
Beverly Crusher, Deanna Troi and Ezri Dax (Star Trek) – Blue Science Uniforms: Watching the TNG as a child, Crusher looked great wearing the uniform along with her blue coat and I kind of wish Armus from Skin of Evil took her instead of Riker (or maybe Yar could’ve been pulled in for her death scene – but who knows if that would’ve worked or if taking her lifeforce was just the better way). Over time this has also extended to Deanna Troi (in the standard blue uniform from season 6 & 7 or the movie uniforms – though not her special outfits) and Ezri Dax from DS9.
Amelia Earhart (Night at the Museum 2) – Flying outfit: Much like Padme, her tight trousers/pants make her look sexy (although this makes a bit awkward as the character is based on a real-life heroine and I wouldn’t want to do her a disservice – sometimes it’s a little easy to refer to the actress Amy Adams).
Ashley Hammond (Power Rangers In Space) – Astro Megaship Uniform: Same deal as Padme and Amelia/Amy Adams (or rather Ashley predated them), Ashley was a looker while wearing her grey and yellow uniform.
There are many others such as Sheba or Brie from Battlestar Galactica (1978) in their warrior/pilot outfits, Nyssa from Doctor Who in her velvet pants & top or Black Widow from the Marvel filmverse in her black catsuit.
