RfV-sense for an adjective defined as "Based on physical appearance rather than on individual merit, especially if regarded as a status symbol."
Not a true adjective, but rather a noun used attributively (if frequently).  — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 15:18, 3 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

It appears at [1], but I don't know what it means there.​—msh210 (talk) 19:35, 4 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
This doesn't look like a true adjective to me. I think it is attributive use of a sense meaning "status symbol". That certainly fits the common "trophy wife". A trophy wife is often good-looking, smart, and well-connected, famous, talented, or rich. DCDuring TALK 20:56, 4 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
