Not yet. But I recognize this from Pulp Fiction in the character Maria de Madieros plays: 'Fabienne'; it's a terrible thing to see. Then, there is another trope from the late 90s/early 2000s called the "Manic pixie dream girl." (eg. Meg Ryan) https://rb.gy/ruten5

But I think the 'sexy baby' trope is an extension of an even older one: the 'gamine', from the 50s and 60s, actors like Audrey Hepburn in her earliest roles, Shirley MacLaine or Jean Seaberg.
