serene expression

Tranquil facial composure

A serene expression is a calm, peaceful look on someone's face—untroubled and composed.

It suggests inner tranquility rather than forced neutrality: She maintained a serene expression despite the chaos around her.

The phrase often appears in descriptions of meditation, sleep, or moments of acceptance.
