regal bearing

Dignified noble presence

Regal bearing is a dignified, stately manner of carrying oneself—the posture, movement, and composure associated with royalty.

Someone with regal bearing stands tall, moves deliberately, and projects quiet authority: She entered the room with regal bearing, and conversation stopped.

The phrase suggests natural elegance rather than arrogance.
