==Makeovers and Fanfiction==
As noted earlier, a makeover is often seen as necessary in order for Daria to become popular, specifically to attract a boyfriend, which she generally attempts to avoid. In older fanfiction, [[Trent Lane]] is usually the person for whom she is being made over, and the makeover is nearly always successful. The basic idea is that Daria is more beautiful than she thinks (see the overused trope "Daria is a supermodel"). This mass-media trope is often called "Hollywood ugly." In Daria's case, a makeover often requires she complete the aborted transformation begun in "[[Through a Lens Darkly]]" with the removal of her [[manstopper]] glasses and a few other changes.
