It girl
Moment's magnetic woman
An It girl is a young woman who captures public fascination through some magnetic combination of beauty, style, and personality.
The term suggests effortless appeal rather than calculated fame—she's simply *it*, the embodiment of a cultural moment: She became the It girl of the indie film scene.
The concept dates to 1920s Hollywood but cycles back whenever someone captures that ineffable quality.
