How to say "glamorous" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- na-adjectiveGlamorous in the charming, fascinatingly elegant sense: lovely beauty of appearance or bearing, often a woman's. Less common, and usually written in kana alone.
- na-adjectiveA direct loanword rendering 'glamorous' as the English word does; use it when you want that borrowed flavor, as in describing a glamorous celebrity or outfit. Less common.
Choose 「あでやか」 for glamour that is charming, fascinatingly elegant, and lovely, and 「グラマラス」 when you want the direct loanword for English 'glamorous'; both are less common ways to say it.
