snatched

What it means

Looking incredibly good, flawless, or perfectly put-together. It's a compliment for an outfit, makeup, a body, or anything that looks sharp and on point.

Examples

• Her makeup is snatched tonight, not a hair out of place.
• That dress has your waist looking snatched!
• My edges are snatched and my outfit's clean, let's go.
• The whole look is snatched, you ate that down.

Where it comes from

Originating in Black and LGBTQ+ ballroom culture as praise (so good it 'snatched your wig off'), it crossed into mainstream beauty and fashion slang via social media in the late 2010s.
