Bold and beautiful, dramatic and daring, Leo women stand out from the crowd. If you're dating, crushing on, or pals with a Leo woman, then there's no need to whip out your calendar to confirm her zodiac sign. If you pay attention, spotting this fire sign from her looks and behaviors will be a super simple task. We've gathered all the info you need on Leo woman traits. For a complete guide on how to spot a Leo woman, read on!

1

She’s got gorgeous locks.

If her hair makes you do a double-take, she’s probably a Leo. No matter its color, texture, or style, there’s just something about her locks. If you know her haircare routine is at least ten steps long, consider that a sign. Look out for the gal with hair Aphrodite would envy—because chances are, she’s a Leo.

2

She looks immaculate.

Rain or shine, expect the Leo in your life to look totally perfect. She’ll show up just a little overdressed—but trust that that’s intentional. Note the girl who’s never got her fly undone, shirt stained, or lipstick on her teeth. Instead, think of the one who shows up to every date, party, or workday looking like she stepped out of a magazine. That's probably a Leo.

3

She dresses boldly.

A Leo’s personal style philosophy is go big or go home. Take note of the woman who’s always serving major, groundbreaking looks. If she wore leopard print or sequins on your first date, that's a sign. Or, maybe she's just always ahead of the next trends. Looking average is totally unacceptable to her. So, search for the girl who dons all the hottest, wildest, and most striking fits.

4

She’s the center of attention.

Leo ladies just can’t help it—they’re too magnetic to be ignored. At every soiree, she’s got the spotlight. Search for that woman who’s ultra-charismatic, who draws others in like it’s her job. Look out for the girl who always has a crowd of admirers surrounding her at the party, hanging off her every word. She’s the first to clink her glass, rise, and give a completely tear-inducing toast. That’s a Leo.^{[1]

5

She’s theatrical.

Leo women are performers at heart. In conversation with a Leo woman, expect hand gestures, emotional expressions, and dramatic pauses galore. Look for the girl who can turn a story about going to the DMV into a dramatic tale of tragic loss. She’s the best storyteller, actress, and comedian you know—because Leo women know how to dramatically work a crowd.^{[2]

6

She's filled with confidence.

You know that woman who’s the definition of self-assured? That’s a Leo. As a sun-ruled sign, she knows her worth. Search for the girl who never doubles back on what she’s said and never talks down about herself. Reflect on how she never has a problem approaching her crush.^{[3]

7

She’s fearless.

Leo women are the courageous superheroes in your life. She’s a fire sign, so she won't wait around. She'll take action. When everyone else is afraid to take on a task, she steps up to the plate. Think of the girl who'll tell the waiter if they got your meal wrong. When someone toxic is causing trouble, pay attention to the woman who confronts them. That’s Leo energy.

8

She’s always got your back.

If you’ve got a Leo on your team, you’ll always be just fine. Look out for the girl who’ll deliver venomous takedowns on behalf of the people she cares about. At the same time, she's got a shoulder for you to cry on whenever you need it. That’s a Leo. As a fixed sign, the dependable Leo woman is the MVP of your friend group and the most loyal partner around.

9

She tells it like it is.

Leo women will do a lot of things, but sugarcoating isn’t one of them. Search for that girl who isn’t afraid to tell you what you don’t want to hear. She's the one you won’t want to see on laundry day—because she’ll have thoughts on your outfit. Think of that woman who, as kind as she is, can’t stand dishonesty. In all likelihood, you’ve got yourself a Leo.

10

She’s the glue of your friend group.

Warm and magnetic, a Leo will unite her friends for every occasion. Leos are absolutely lovable—so when she’s the one sending out the invites, everyone shows up.^{[4]

11

She’s a creative genius.

Expressive and intuitive, Leo women are artists at heart. Look out for the girl who had that shockingly moving screenplay, unique sculpture, or insightful short story. Or, think of that woman who may not practice art herself, but always has the most thoughtful take on movies, books, and music. If creative thought is second nature to her, that could definitely be a Leo.^{[5]

She’s generous.

She's a softie at heart.

Don't let the front fool you, a Leo woman is actually super sensitive. Behind her fiery and bold personality, you'll find a girl who's sweet, emotional, and super tender. If you're dating or friends with a Leo woman, notice that over time, she'll start to soften up in front of you. Suddenly, she'll be more open about her fears and insecurities—and she may even cry in front of you. This vulnerability is the true sign of a Leo woman.
