question
words slang word-requests
Is there a female version of ikemen?
Because it just means "good looking / handsome man" the female version will be
美人 (bijin) meaning "pretty women".

Maybe your also interested into the fairly newly created words デキ女 (dekijo)
and デキ男 (dekidan) for a more characterwise coolness in the sense of someone
who is successful f.e. in job.

answer
I do not believe there would be a word that everyone could agree upon as the
word 「イケメン」 itself is pretty new.

If you are looking for a new word, we have 「イケジョ」 even though it is not wide-
spread yet.

More common (and traditional) words include: [美人]{びじん}、[美女]{びじょ}、べっぴん、べっぴんさん,
etc. All are safe choices.

「かわいこちゃん」(with only one い) was a very common word when I was growing up, but
it feels kinda retro now.

You could say (and we do often say) 「きれいな人」 though it is not one word.
