magnetic
Attracting iron or attention
Magnetic describes things that attract iron and certain other metals, or that relate to magnetism as a physical force: a magnetic field, magnetic poles.
The word extends naturally to people or qualities that draw others in: a magnetic personality, magnetic charm.
Someone magnetic commands attention and inspires fascination, as if exerting an invisible pull.
