sex kitten
Alluring young woman
A sex kitten is a young woman who projects a playful, innocent sexuality—kittenish in manner but overtly seductive.
The term emerged in mid-20th-century Hollywood to describe actresses like Brigitte Bardot who combined girlish charm with erotic appeal: She played the sex kitten in every film.
It can be affectionate or dismissive depending on context.
