^^ Well it does mean something: it is supposed to indicate "elegance" or "classiness" in a female character. It's just that "elegance" or "classiness" are hard to describe, unless you go into detail about the kind of dress they're wearing or whatever--and let's face it, nerds like us generally have no "fashion sense" to communicate stuff like that (at least I don't). "Elegance" is also somewhat intangible, an attitude, a bearing, etc. Stuff that might be hard to describe for some people, other than one knows it when they see it. Kind of like "sexiness"--which can also be in the eye of the beholder.

I do understand why there's a general rule about ZeroContextExamples. In this case however, I'm not sure how much we need other than maybe saying the character is supposed to be "elegant" or "classy", or maybe describing it in terms of how others react to her. Maybe we can do that with the examples at least. If anyone wants to wax more poetic with the examples, go for it.

It is certainly used for a reason, but that reason is kind of hard to describe in tangibles, is all I'm saying.
