bevy

Cluster of larks

A bevy is a group or gathering, especially of women or girls: a bevy of bridesmaids, a bevy of beauties.

The word originally referred to a flock of quail, and it retains that technical use among hunters.

In general usage, bevy suggests an attractive or impressive collection: a bevy of options, a bevy of celebrities.
