beauty queens
Tiara-wearing titleholders
Beauty queens are women who win or compete in beauty pageants—competitions judged on physical appearance, poise, and sometimes talent.
The term often carries a hint of superficiality or outdated values: She's no beauty queen, but she's brilliant.
Former beauty queens sometimes parlay their titles into careers in entertainment or politics.
A beauty queen manner suggests someone overly concerned with appearance or given to practiced smiles.
