ravishing

Extremely visually captivating

Ravishing means extremely beautiful or delightful—so attractive as to seize one's attention completely.

The word carries romantic or aesthetic intensity: She looked ravishing in that dress, a ravishing view of the coastline.

The underlying sense is of being carried away, as if beauty itself could abduct you.
