draws attention
Pulls the gaze
Draws attention means to cause notice or focus to be directed toward something or someone.
When a person draws attention to themselves, they do something that makes others look at or think about them, whether intentionally or not.
The phrase often appears with "to": The report draws attention to gaps in the current policy.
Drawing attention can be desirable, as when highlighting an important issue, or unwelcome, as when someone's behavior draws unwanted attention.
