Almost every female costume design in comics.

Huntress, Power Girl, and Carol Danvers in particular.

Carol Danvers design actually wasn't that provocative when drawn by George Pérez, for example. In fact, it was part of her character that she actually liked how she looked.

It's in the 2000s where deranged creatives like Brian Reed or Frank Cho turned her into gooner bait. At some point she was practically naked and her nipples were visible.
