The look probably sounds familiar if you have seen a thread about it, at least when it comes to male characters in TV shows. Or if you found yourself wishing someone looked at you the way your favorite pairing does.
It isn’t always successfully pulled off, the girl either has it or she doesn’t.
23 Male TV Characters That Have Perfected The Look™
But it is all about having a female character that can encompass both the romance and the interest in a relationship, being able to add even more to the table.
It is about creating that love, long before it truly even manages to become canon.
You know a good look when you see it because you can’t forget it.
23 Confessions of Love That Made Us Jealous
This is a collection of a select few favorite looks that we think deserve to be appreciated. What is your favorite look that you think is iconic?
Clarke Griffin (The 100)
At this point in the story, it is almost more difficult for Clarke not to give off that iconic look. With The 100 Season 5 pushing Clarke into her emotional element, it has been a highlight getting to see her give Bellamy these kinds of looks. The next logical step might be actually cashing in on those looks, but just experiencing them is good too. Maybe.
Izzy Lightwood (Shadowhunters)
It is hard not to wish that Shadowhunters had more story delivered to us, if only for those Izzy and Simon moments. The way she looks at him is the reason fans have stuck around as long as they did to finally see that ending for the couple. It was all in the looks.
Brienne of Tarth (Game of Thrones)
This one hurts so we will just pretend the recent episode of Game of Thrones only aired the first half. Brienne pulled off this scene with Jamie so well, and it was all about that look.
Liz Ortecho (Roswell, New Mexico)
It was a brutal first season of Roswell, New Mexico if you were looking for flowers and sunshine when it came to your favorite relationship. Out of it though came Liz looking at Max the way we always wanted, and it is only the beginning for them. We just need to ignore that ending and it is a happily ever after for those two.
Anissa Pierce (Black Lightning)
How do we get Anissa to look at us like that though? Anissa and Grace work double time with all of those looks, and yet we need to dedicate one slide just to Anissa and this moment in time.
Beth Boland (Good Girls)
The Beth and Rio ship set sail in equal parts because of how these two manage to make bad look so good. It is a rough road for these two but Beth keeps pulling out these looks, how is someone meant to not want them to run off together somehow?
Fallon Carrington (Dynasty)
A nice break from the drama can always come from seeing Fallon with that smile on her face. We finally get to see her in love and that is somehow the perfect distraction from time to time.
Felicity Smoak (Arrow)
This one hurts too and there are no words right now. Felicity and Oliver built a legacy with their love, and no one can forget the way she managed to look at him. It screamed the potential and the future that was to come for them, and that is exactly what happened.
Sutton Brady (The Bold Type)
A forbidden relationship is usually intriguing all on its own, and yet it is Sutton who managed to kick it into soft and sweet too. The love that grew out of a surprise hook-up reveal in the first episode of The Bold Type is thanks to Sutton looking at Richard just right.
Hanna Marin (Pretty Little Liars)
Hanna and Caleb were a long lasting couple in part because of how Hanna looked at him. She made it always look fresh and new as if she was just falling in love with him for the first time.
Karen Page (The Punisher)
Let’s not talk about what could have been, let us instead talk about what once was because of Karen and those looks at Frank.
Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
Veronica Mars couldn’t return fast enough, if only for these looks. It might be grim at times in Neptune, but that is where Veronica’s inability to not look at Logan like that come into play.
Maddie Bishop (Siren)
The main trio ship on Siren is a big team effort, and yet we need to take a second to thank Maddie for all of her efforts. She pulled off that potential romance in the first few episodes of the show because she knows how to sell it.
Callie Adams Foster (Good Trouble)
Good Trouble has offered us representation and quality writing, but it has also given us all of these looks. Look at that!
Kara Danvers (Supergirl)
This is not a platonic look and we all know it, there’s really no denying it. The show might still deny it, but we all know and that is the important part here.
Amy Soso (Superstore)
Jonah gets most of the credit but what about Amy? Her denial at first only made those moments where she didn’t discount her feelings for Jonah all that more epic.
Amy Santiago (Brooklyn Nine Nine)
It was all about the way that Jake was crushing on Amy, and yet there was no shortage of moments where we caught her looking right back. Their love bursts through the way they search each other out, and this is what gave us hope while we waited on their journey there.
Tandy Bowen (Cloak and Dagger)
These two may not be dating (yet) but Tandy looking and flirting with Tyrone is carrying their potential for seasons to come. Her interest in him raises the stakes for these two and their romantic future.
Lucy Preston (Timeless)
This is one of the many things we miss about Timeless, with the way Lucy looks at Wyatt selling their endgame long before the show did.
Toni Topaz (Riverdale)
There may never be enough Toni and Cheryl scenes, but the ones that Riverdale does give us shines through with their love for each other. Just the way Toni looks at Cheryl reaffirms what true love should look like.
Nicole Haught (Wynonna Earp)
Nicole is so whipped when it comes to Waverly, and if anything that makes us love them more. All because of how Nicole looks at the woman she loves.
Dana Scully (The X-Files)
The queen of the look, Scully spent much of her time on The X-Files looking at Mulder and promising us everything we couldn’t have with them.
Nina Dobrev (The Vampire Diaries)
Nina Dobrev didn’t have to bring one look to the table, she had to bring at least three as she played various doppelgangers of herself over the years. That takes talent and deserve all the appreciation.
