Forgettably???

[SuperPigeon]

I have this line in my novel and I need the real word for one of the ones I have:

Nicholas pointed to Liam and Vexx before turning back to the forgettably beautiful receptionist

Forgettably isnt a word... but I need the equivalent. Its not forgettable because "forgettable beautiful" makes no sense... what is the ...bly equivalent..

Please help, this line is driving me bananas

If the receptionist is beautiful, then surely unforgettably would be a better word?

Only a dullard would want to forget beauty.

before turning back to the plain and boring looking receptionist

As Nat King Cole sang-''Unforgetable.''

'Forgettably' is not listed by either The Oxford English Dictionary or Chambers, but there is really no reason why it should not exist.
If someone can be said to have put on only a "forgettable performance", then he can equally be said to have "performed forgettably".
I am thinking of a sentence such as "Gerrard played forgettably on his last appearance for England." That is, so poor was it that we'd just as soon not remember his contribution.
(This is purely illustrative and in no way a reflection on Gerrard or England!)

perhaps more fluent to say...beautiful but forgettable....?

[SuperPigeon]

MatydaLover... I see what you mean but what I mean is those sorts of people that are pretty but are just like everyone else in their beauty.

Quizmonster... thanks... that was what I was thinking

Everyone else: thanks loads. I wasnt expecting this many lol... thanks again... I think I;; just have to choose. Too many conflicting answers... thanks anyway, it helps that people also dont know lol

sounds like a miss print, if sum1 was soo beautiful then surely this would b UNforgetable

[xklsx]

understated? maybe..

[SuperPigeon]

when I say forgettably beautiful I mean it metaphorically. In the sense that: she is pretty but the sort of pretty that you easily forget... the sort of person who is only pretty because she follows the stereotypes etc.... so, yes its supposed to be forgettable/bly
