I'm trying to describe a character who is a young actress. she is exploited in the industry and basically has no purpose other than a means of 'looking pretty' or just being 'another pretty face'?? I can't think of a word for it?

I keep thinking maybe mannequin but that's not exactly correct??? or something along those lines?

Please help!

  • You should include a sample sentence demonstrating how the word would be used.

  • @BoldBen: I had written it as an answer, but when I was going to post it, I saw that fev had already spotted the dupe (and eye candy is already suggested there). :)

You might try ornamental

(Cambridge)

beautiful rather than useful: a bowl of ornamental china fruit, The handles on each side of the box are purely ornamental (= they are for decoration only).

  • And if you're looking for a noun, ornament works, as in the phrase "neither use nor ornament".
