Does every magical girl have a costume?

Can anybody think of a magical girl who fights evil while wearing her regular, everyday clothes? Are there any magical girls who don't wear any special costumes? I know that magical girls wear normal clothes sometimes, but they usually change or transform into a costume when they are fighting. I've never heard of a magical girl who has never worn a special costume. Sailor Moon transforms into her costume, and Cardcaptor Sakura wears costumes because her friend insists on it, but I cannot think of a single magical girl who doesn't wear a costume at least some of the time. I realize that the costumes are a big part of the genre, and the costumes are actually something that I really like about the genre, but I was just wondering if there has ever been a magical girl who always just dresses in her casual, everyday clothing, even when she's using magic. Can anybody think of an example, or has it never been done before? Would a magical girl even be called a magical girl if she didn't have a costume? Or would she just be a female magic user? I love the costumes in magical girl shows, but I'm wondering if any magical girl show has ever gone without the costumes and just put the magical girl in sweatpants or something. By the way, I'm mostly thinking of Japanese anime, not American cartoons.

I like animating Magical Girl Stuff (mostly Transformations) but currently I lack inspiration and motivation…

Do you have any Idea what I could do? A concept, a fan animation for a certain series, whatever you can think of.

I have many ideas for OCs and series, but I lost the creative spark that started the fire.

While searching for Steam games I stumbled upon the listing for this Japanese visual novel called Magical Girl Witch Trials. Doing some research I've seen it described as Madoka Magica combined with Dangan Ronpa. While it is currently only available in Japanese they have announced an English localization this year.

Which is your favorite animator of Magical Girl Transformations?

I like Takano Tooru for his transformation of Cure Arcana Shadow. I do not know exactly who made the 90s Sailor Moon Transformations, but it seems like Kazuko Tadano and Ikuko Itoh were involved.
