glamour
Dazzling elegant appeal
Glamour is alluring beauty or charm, especially the kind that seems magical or unattainable.
The word once literally meant a magic spell—a glamour cast over someone's eyes to make things appear different than they are.
That enchantment sense persists: glamour suggests surface dazzle that may obscure reality.
Hollywood glamour evokes old movie stars in elegant gowns.
Something glamorous appears exciting and sophisticated: the glamour of international travel, a glamorous lifestyle.
To glamorize is to make something seem more attractive than it really is.
