In recent years, the word "delicate" has frequently appeared in aesthetic discussions on social media, but what kind of girl is considered delicate? Combining hot topics and data analysis across the Internet in the past 10 days, we dissected this aesthetic standard from dimensions such as facial features, temperament, and outfits, and attached structured data for reference.
1. Core features of elegance: facial features and face shape

According to hot discussions on Weibo, Xiaohongshu and other platforms, “delicacy” is usually associated with the following facial features:

| Elegant eye shape | 55% | Inward double or fan-shaped double eyelids |
2. Temperament and demeanor: a dynamic sense of elegance
In addition to static facial features, dynamic temperament is equally important. In Douyin’s # Pretty Girls Challenge, the following behaviors received the most likes:
The corners of the mouth naturally rise when smiling (41%)
Speak softly (33%)

3. Outfit and makeup: strengthen the impression of elegance

4. Regional differences: Does the South prefer “delicate” looks?
Baidu Index shows that the top 3 areas with search volume for “pretty girls” in the past 10 days are:
Jiangsu Province (accounting for 23%)
Zhejiang Province (accounting for 18%)
Sichuan Province (accounting for 15%)
5. Controversial opinion: Delicacy = fair and thin?
Although delicacy is often associated with “thinness” and “fair skin,” a popular post on Zhihu titled “Aesthetic Diversity” points out:
"The essence of delicacy is a kind of implicit beauty, which has nothing to do with body shape. Girls with wheat complexion can also convey a sense of delicacy through their eyes and manners."
Conclusion:
"Delicacy" is not a single template, but a comprehensive impression that combines facial features, temperament, and clothing. Data shows that contemporary young people value "endurance" and "comfort" more than rigid standards. As one high-profile comment said:"When you no longer worry about whether you are delicate enough, it is easier to have this kind of temperament."
