physical beauty
Pleasing bodily appearance
Physical beauty is the quality of being attractive or pleasing to look at, based on bodily features rather than personality, intellect, or character.
Standards vary across cultures and eras—what counts as physically beautiful shifts with time and place.
The term often appears in contrast to inner beauty: Physical beauty fades, but kindness endures.
It can describe faces, bodies, or specific features: Her physical beauty was striking, but it was her wit that held attention.
