look right through
See but disregard
To look right through someone is to gaze in their direction without acknowledging their presence—treating them as if they were invisible or transparent.
The phrase conveys deliberate dismissal or complete indifference: She looked right through me like I wasn't even there.
It can also describe being so preoccupied that you fail to register what's in front of you: He looked right through the stop sign.
