entranced
Lost in wonder
Entranced means captivated or spellbound, as if under a magical influence.
Someone entranced by a performance is so absorbed they forget their surroundings: She stood entranced before the painting.
The word suggests being held in a kind of pleasant paralysis, unable or unwilling to look away.
