stunner
Total head turner
A stunner is someone or something that stuns, most often by being strikingly attractive or impressive.
The word applies especially to people whose appearance makes others take notice: She walked in and everyone agreed she was a stunner.
It can also describe an unexpected event or outcome that leaves people momentarily speechless, like a stunning upset in sports or politics.
In British slang, stunner serves as general praise for anything excellent.
