Well, it's not necessarily her beauty, but as a power. Kind of like Encounter Bait or something.

Also wondering if no such trope exists, is it not simply People Sit On Chairs and has enough examples of.

Practical Taunt?

Without any sort of description of what the ability is it's kind of tough to say...

^ AFAIK, Momo's eye ability instantly draws people's attention to her, without her even able to prevent it. Only other eye ability users can resist it.

I guess Practical Taunt is a close one, but what I'm thinking is less taunting and more of a Attention Whore version of "look at me" (albeit the example I gave initially was unintentionally)

Inverted Trope of Perception Filter or Jedi Mind Trick(despite its name, it refers to the ability to escape detection rather than "power to control minds").

I get the description, the power is "attract attention", but we don't have it, it's Too Rare To Trope, not People Sit On Chairs.

You might have a viable YKTTW here, I've seen it many times in different forms. Basically its the character everyone looks at when We Need a Distraction. They might use Practical Taunts, sexyness, illusion, Dynamic Entrys, have some sort of mind-affecting ability like the original example, or even just be an annoying Motor Mouth- point is they are very good at drawing attention to themselves. Definately a thing.
