Pretty privilege, also known as the beauty premium, is the idea that people who are considered conventionally attractive receive benefits in various aspects of life. These benefits can be economic, social, or political, and can manifest in many ways. For example, in the workplace, attractive people may be more likely to be hired, receive promotions, and earn higher salaries than their peers. They may also be seen as more trustworthy, intelligent, and healthy, and be expected to perform better behaviors.
