The character 令 does bear a meaning similar to "beautiful" in classical Chinese. Here are some examples I thought of:

&gt;子曰：“巧言令色，鲜矣仁。”

&gt;The Master said, "Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue."

This is from [*Analacts*](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analects).

&gt;夫何瑰逸之令姿，独旷世以秀群。

This is from *The Rhapsody of Leisured Emotions* (闲情赋) by [Tao Yuanming](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_Yuanming). I cannot find d an "official" translation so here's my stab at it:

&gt;Oh, such an elegant posture, standing out from the mundane world.

On top of the 2 examples, the character 令 is used in honorifics in modern Chinese.
