Collective nouns refer to a group of things as a single unit (e.g., a flock of birds, a herd of elephants). While you might use "beauties" to refer to a group of beautiful people, it's more of a descriptive plural rather than a specific collective noun.
Here's why:
* There's no single word for a group of beautiful people (like "flock" or "herd").
* "Beauties" is simply a plural form of "beauty," used to describe multiple beautiful individuals.
Instead of "beauties," you might use more descriptive phrases:
* A group of beautiful people
* A collection of stunning individuals
* A bevy of beauties (this is a more poetic and informal way to refer to a group of attractive women)
Ultimately, the best way to refer to a group of beautiful people depends on the context and the desired tone.
