Exotic beauty

A term usually applied to a woman who is regarded as beautiful, despite the fact that her looks are not typical of those considered to be beautiful in the speaker's culture. For example, a tall blue-eyed blonde woman of mixed Japanese/Caucasian heritage with otherwise Asian features would be an 'exotic beauty' in either culture. On the other hand, a woman beautiful by Thai standards would be an 'exotic beauty' in Canada, but not in Thailand.
