bone structure
Body's internal scaffolding
Bone structure refers to the skeletal framework that gives shape to a body or body part.
Most commonly it describes facial features—the arrangement of cheekbones, jawline, and brow that determines how a face looks: She has great bone structure.
The phrase often implies attractiveness, suggesting well-defined or elegant features.
It can also refer to the skeletal composition of the whole body: His lanky bone structure made him a natural basketball player.
