Definition
妩媚 describes a woman's charm that is graceful and slightly flirtatious — a specific kind of loveliness that English 'lovely' or 'charming' alone doesn't capture. It often carries a connotation of bewitching or coquettish allure. You can use it predicatively (她真妩媚) or attributively (妩媚的眼神).
