catch the eye
Draw visual notice
To catch the eye is to attract attention or notice, especially visually: The red dress caught my eye.
Something that catches the eye stands out from its surroundings.
You can also catch someone's eye deliberately—making brief eye contact to get their attention: She tried to catch the waiter's eye.
