Drop Dead Gorgeous

Heartbreakingly attractive person

Drop dead gorgeous describes someone stunningly attractive—so beautiful it's almost overwhelming.

The "drop dead" intensifier suggests the effect is strong enough to make you fall over: She walked in looking drop dead gorgeous.

The phrase is casual and emphatic, often used for people who've dressed up for an occasion.
