This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Any time a prince or princess is referenced in anything, all I can think about is Utena.

The opening of the new My Little Pony movie reminded me a little too strongly of the opening of the Utena movie.

Not so much Utena as Ikuhara (and, well, shoujo) in general
Greetings from a ghost of Christmases past!

I recently saw the Great Gatsby movie. The overblown style and obsession with glitz and glamor reminds me a little of Utena. But not 100%.

This article from Japan Times. Utena would be pleased.

i've been playing this really silly and fun mobile dress-up game called 'love nikki', and in one area of the game, there is some art that really makes me think of utena... the rest of the game, not so much - but this definitely has that kind of stylization.

There's this tactical RPG that I've been playing a little bit recently called "Jeanne D'Arc". The female protagonist Jeanne D'Arc gives off a lot of Utena Tenjou vibes.
