dazzlers

Brilliant showstopping things

Dazzlers are things or people that dazzle—that impress brilliantly or blind with light.

A fireworks finale might be called a dazzler; so might a stunning dress or a charismatic performer.

In British slang, dazzlers sometimes means eyes: Get your dazzlers on this.

The word usually carries admiration for something eye-catching or spectacular.
