wording this is tricky, is 貌 literally "face" here?
-------------------------------

Editor: More accurate to say it refers to his "looks" rather than his "face".

There are lots of phrases involving 潘安.
They don't all need to be in the dictionary; you just need to keep in mind that the guy was a chick magnet.
潘安的貌
貌似潘安
貌比潘安
潘岳貌美
潘安之貌
潘安再世
etc

談起古代美男子,不能不從已成為中國美男子代稱的「潘安」說起。君不見,時序雖已進入第三個千禧年,網站上風流男子對眾家網友自我介紹,總不免還說自己是「潘安再世」;客氣的就說自己雖非「貌比潘安」,外型也還過得去。

潘安何許人也?他原名潘岳,字安仁,生於魏晉時期。記載魏晉人物事蹟的《世說新語》描述潘安:「妙有姿容,好神情」。潘安曾在洛陽城逛街時,被一群婦女像今天影迷追逐偶像一般,手牽手把他層層圍了起來。

When talking about the gorgeous guys of ancient China, you've got to start with Pan An, who has long been famous for embodying the ideals of manly beauty. Have you noticed that although we have already entered the third millennium, on Internet bulletin boards the would-be Don Juans of Taiwan still boast that they are "the reincarnation of Pan An"? Those of more modest inclination say that while they're "no Pan An" they're not bad looking either.

Who was this guy Pan An? The book Shi Shuo Xin Yu, which recorded important persons and events of the Wei-Jin era (220-420), describes him thus: "He was very handsome and carried himself with a splendid manner." Once, he was accosted by a group of adoring females on a Luoyang street (much like a star mobbed by his fans today), who joined hands and surrounded him.

- 人们在形容别人的时候,说的也都是“貌若潘安”而不是其他人,这样看来,潘安简直就是站在颜值食物链顶端的男人
- 后人都以“貌若潘安”来形容一个人的美丽外表,同时也有对他品德上的赞颂。
- 打工男自认貌若潘安扮警察骗得6.5万落法网.
