Female characters who wear tuxedos / black tie

As per the title, really.  Help me find a female character, ideally in film but could be in literature or gaming, who wears a men's style tuxedo.  I'm stuck.

Willie Scott in Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom spends a chunk of the film wearing Indy's tux.

Probably not quite what you're after, but Roisin Conaty as "Damon" in Friday's episode of Man Down was brilliant...

Female doctor character at the end of Men in Black gets Tuxedo’ed up – can’t remember her character name so she might not be a strong contender.

Not quite black tie, but I loved Tilda Swinton as Gabriel in Constantine.

You mean that film where Mickey Rourke is with Kim Basinger and she wears a trilby, has a moustache and a cigar and he is holding a Brandy Glass and cigar?

Marlene Dietrich in Morocco (probably what Hillbilly was referring to):

And I love this publicity shot of Josephine Baker, although I don't know whether she ever featured in films in the outfit.

Lady Gaga and Carrie Underwood are two who've made tuxedos look great. I can't think of any movie characters - I imagined Liza Minelli from Cabaret, but I think the tuxedo references were tenuous; a top hat and a bow tie and not a lot else!

What about Desire from The Sandman? Although I could only find illustrations with a red jacket, I'm it was black, but with a red bow tie, in the originals, at least from time to time
