doll-like

Resembling a figurine

Doll-like describes something resembling a doll in appearance—typically smooth, delicate features, large eyes, and an almost artificial perfection: her doll-like face, doll-like proportions.

The word can suggest beauty but often carries undertones of blankness, passivity, or unsettling artificiality: She sat perfectly still, doll-like and expressionless.
