Top Hat's movie poster appeared in Stephen Chow's movie Kung Fu Hustle. British-Irish singer-songwriter [[Chris de Burgh]] referenced the movie in his [[1986 in music|1986]] hit, "[[The Lady in Red (Chris de Burgh song)|The Lady in Red]]", wherein he and the eponymous lady in the song danced "Cheek to Cheek."

The film is the namesake for the [[Top Hat (The Penguin)|seventh episode]] of the [[DC Studios]] miniseries ''[[The Penguin (TV series)|The Penguin]]'', a spin-off of the 2022 film ''[[The Batman (film)|The Batman]]''. In the episode, a young [[Penguin (character)|Oz Cobb]] and his mother Francis  watch the film in a flashback. In the present, Francis is kidnapped by Oz's rival [[Sofia Falcone|Sofia Gigante]], who she tells that she believes Oz will kill her, and when he does, "[she'll] be tap dancing on [her] grave like Ginger fuckin' Rogers".
