fairy princess

Magical young monarch

A fairy princess is a stock character in children's stories and fantasy—a beautiful, magical royal figure often associated with sparkles, wings, and pastel gowns.

The term describes both the character type and the aesthetic: She went to the party dressed as a fairy princess.

Used figuratively for someone naive or overly delicate: You can't go through life expecting fairy princess treatment.
