male model

Catalog cover guy

A male model is a man who models clothing, accessories, or other products professionally.

The term appears in fashion contexts but also as mild mockery for men perceived as vain or overly focused on appearance: He spends an hour on his hair like he's a male model.

The phrase sometimes implies physical attractiveness without much substance.
