feminine grace

Delicate female charm

Feminine grace describes an elegance of movement, manner, or bearing traditionally associated with women—smooth, poised, and unhurried.

The phrase suggests fluidity rather than force, composure rather than awkwardness: She moved with feminine grace across the ballroom.

It can describe physical deportment, social refinement, or an overall quality of gentle self-possession.
