English term or phrase: belle (beau) of the ball
A man like that would make life easy, Evelyn. Think of how easy it would be to entertain, or go out to parties, with a husband like that. Who actually enjoys social interaction and always has such a funny thing to say. Preston’s always the belle of the ball. The beau of the ball, I suppose.”

Mohlo by být třeba "ozdobou večírků", "duší společnosti", a jak vůbec vyjádřit rozdíl mezi "belle" a "beau"? Děkuji za pomoc.
