Tips

usage
Almost always used in the four-character collocation 雍容华贵 (yōngróng huáguì, 'stately and noble') to describe women of grace and presence — empresses in historical dramas, society matrons, dignified older actresses. Rarely used to describe men or modern casual contexts.
register
Literary; you wouldn't use this in everyday speech. Reserve for written praise, fashion-magazine prose, or character description in fiction.
