girlie girl

Very feminine woman

A girlie girl is a woman or girl who enthusiastically embraces traditionally feminine interests and aesthetics—pink, makeup, fashion, romantic comedies, flowers.

The term can be self-identifying and celebratory or mildly dismissive depending on context: I'm such a girlie girl—I love getting my nails done.

Compare tomboy.
