doll face

Sweet-looking young thing

Doll face is a term of endearment or flattery, usually directed at women, suggesting delicate, pretty features like those of a porcelain doll: Hey, doll face, can I buy you a drink?

The term carries a mid-20th-century flavor, evoking noir films and old Hollywood.

It can also describe someone whose features actually resemble a doll's—smooth, symmetrical, wide-eyed.
