statuesque
Tall and dignified
Statuesque describes a person, usually a woman, who is tall, graceful, and dignified in bearing—qualities associated with classical statues of idealized human figures.
The word suggests an impressive, commanding physical presence combined with poise and elegance.
The statuesque model towered over the other guests at the gala.
Unlike merely tall, statuesque carries connotations of beauty and proportion rather than awkwardness.
