golden girl
Treasured female prodigy
A golden girl is a young woman celebrated for exceptional achievement or promise, especially in athletics, entertainment, or public life.
The term suggests someone favored, admired, and seemingly destined for success: She was the golden girl of American gymnastics.
It can also describe someone who is a favorite within a group or organization, though this usage sometimes carries an edge of envy or resentment.
