glamour girl

Beauty and allure

A glamour girl is a woman celebrated for her striking beauty and stylish appearance, especially one whose image is cultivated for public appeal.

The term evokes mid-twentieth-century Hollywood and pin-up culture: She had dreams of becoming a glamour girl.

It can carry a faintly dismissive edge, implying surface appeal over substance.
