physically attractive

Pleasing to look at

Physically attractive describes someone whose appearance appeals to others—features, body, or overall look that people find pleasing or desirable.

The phrase often appears in contexts distinguishing looks from other qualities: He's physically attractive but has no personality.

What counts as physically attractive varies across cultures and eras, though the term itself implies a widely shared judgment rather than purely individual taste.
