Tips

usage

Almost always used in the four-character collocation 雍容华贵 ('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.
