Hot Mom

Modern Family's Pritchett family
"A universal rule of anime: Not all hot chicks are mothers, but all mothers are hot chicks."
Unskippable, discussing Grandia III.

Many series will have a mother who is meant to be seen as attractive. This may be referenced in the show by another character commenting on her "down-to-earth charm" or "earthy good looks". She is almost inevitably an Absurdly Youthful Mother and Hilarity Ensues as she is mistaken for her children's cute big sister.

This trope has popped up more and more in American television, thanks largely to the Ugly Guy, Hot Wife craze that took off somewhere in the mid-90s. A housewife with two or three kids tends to end up looking like a 30-something version of a Maxim covergirl.

For completion's sake, the generally accepted term in Great Britain for this phenomena is Yummy Mummy.

For the male equivalent of this trope, see Hot Dad. Compare Action Mom. Stacy's Mom is normally a result of this.

No real life examples, please; We'd never reach an agreement!
