What is your definition of a "Luxe Beautie"?

My meaning of Luxe Beautie is someone with grace! A women that is regal and knows it without having to put others down to make herself look good. A Luxe Beautie is a woman that can walk into a room full of other beautiful women and know there's no competition because we are all beautiful. A Luxe Beautie does not need validation from anyone, she validates herself.
