comeliest

Fairest of all

Comeliest is the superlative form of comely, meaning most attractive or pleasing in appearance.

The word is old-fashioned and literary, suggesting wholesome beauty rather than glamour: She was the comeliest maiden in the village.

It appears more often in period fiction and fairy tales than in contemporary speech.
