fetching
Pleasing to behold
Fetching means attractive or charming, typically describing someone's appearance: She looked quite fetching in that dress.
The word has an old-fashioned, slightly playful quality—you're more likely to encounter it in period novels than casual conversation.
It derives from the verb fetch, as if the person's appearance draws you toward them.
