You’re beautiful!
In the “note on usage” about the word “beautiful” (Oxford dictionary) they write: “beautiful and pretty are generally used OF women and children”. Could you tell me why they use the preposition OF? I couldn’t find an answer even in the dictionary. Thank you. Stefano
Here “of” is just an eloquent way of saying “when describing” or “when talking about.”
