Best way to dress a lady?

Say someone approached you at a meeting, they shown you a photo of someone who they were seeking, but you had forgotten their name, which out of the following would be the best to address a woman?

"She's over there, that little lady in the corner"
"She's over there, that lady in the corner"
"She's over there, the chick in the black dress"
"She's over there, the vixen in the black dress"

'The lady over in the corner' and nod in her direction.

"the vixen in the black dress"
@LovelyMrFox are they talking about you?
e: fun language fact, did you know that vixen started out as the grammatical feminine form of fox, as opposed to being arbitrary? In Old English, the word was fyxe, which was fox with a feminine suffix -e. The current iteration of the word comes from a sound change in Southern Middle English.

No need for any of these descriptors. "She's over there (in the corner)" will suffice.

Ditto to that.

I prefer to wear colour (as you can see in my profile picture) as it gets people's attention amongst all the black. :-)

I also prefer to have a man undress me ;-)
