Ravishing

My word for today is ravishing. It's an adjective that means extremely beautiful, and we usually use it for a person's appearance, or for landscapes or views. It's an "extreme" adjective, so unless you like to be dramatic when you speak, you won't use it very much, only when something looks unbelievably impressive!

Him: Wow! You look ravishing in that dress!
Her: Thanks!

Travel ad: Relax in one of our spacious cabanas and enjoy ravishing views of the bay and surrounding mountains.

She'd hoped to look ravishing for the wedding, but her terrible sunburn diminished the desired effect.

P.S. This is Grace Kelly... Do you think she looks ravishing?
