1. Wondrous
It sounds and means the same thing that ‘wonderful' does, except it has a bit of a twist. It’s not used all that often, which makes it sound special. Wouldn’t you love someone to describe you by using it? ‘Wondrous’ is one of the charming words that will get a smile out of anyone. There’s just something sweet about it.
2. Breathtaking
Save this one for special occasions. You don’t want to overuse it, and make it appear meaningless. When you see someone adorned in their best clothes, ready to head to an important event, telling them they’re breathtaking will give them extra confidence. It’ll be just what they need.

3. Enticing
Entice means to lead on by exciting hope or desire. So the next time your crush asks you to hang out, tell them that you’re enticed by their offer. It might not feel like a compliment, but it’s telling them that you’re interested. What’s nicer than that?
4. Elegant
Calling someone ‘beautiful’ doesn’t always do their appearance justice. Calling someone elegant makes them think that they look like royalty. It suggests that they’re not only classy, but gorgeous as well.
5. Stunning
This is an intense word that announces how great someone looks. Since it's not used often, it hasn't lost its kick. That's why you should only use it when you really mean it. Just like the rest of the words listed, you don't want it to lose its meaning.
6. Angelic
You wouldn't use this on someone dressed for the club, but it's perfect for a bride on her wedding day. It's a great word to describe someone who looks conservative and cute.
7. Fetching
Instead of telling someone they look attractive, say that they look fetching. It's an old-timey word that they've probably never heard used to describe them before.
