baby-faced
Appearing deceptively young
Baby-faced describes someone whose face looks youthful, innocent, or childlike—round features, smooth skin, wide eyes.
The term applies regardless of actual age: He's thirty but still baby-faced.
It can be neutral description or mild criticism, suggesting someone looks too young to be taken seriously: The baby-faced lawyer struggled to command the courtroom.
