Is there a female version of ikemen?


Ikemen means something like cool man, is there something similar for women?




I do not believe there would be a word that everyone could agree upon as the
word 「イケメン」 itself is pretty new.

If you are looking for a new word, we have 「イケジョ」 even though it is not wide-
spread yet.

More common (and traditional) words include: [美人]{びじん}、[美女]{びじょ}、べっぴん、べっぴんさん,
etc. All are safe choices.

「かわいこちゃん」(with only one い) was a very common word when I was growing up, but
it feels kinda retro now.

You could say (and we do often say) 「きれいな人」 though it is not one word.
