beauty queen
Crowned pageant contestant
A beauty queen is a woman who wins a beauty pageant—a competition judged on physical appearance, poise, and often talent or interview performance.
The term applies to winners at any level, from local titles to Miss Universe.
Figuratively, beauty queen can describe any conspicuously attractive woman, sometimes with a hint of vanity or superficiality: She acts like she's some kind of beauty queen.
