girlband

All-female pop act

A girlband is a pop music group composed entirely of young women, typically assembled by a record label or talent show rather than formed organically: The Spice Girls were the defining girlband of the 1990s.

The term distinguishes these acts from rock bands that happen to be all-female.

Also spelled girl band.
