I believe the answer is:

venus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'she' is the definition.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for venus that I've seen before include "Roman goddess of love" , "Next planet in" , "The embodiment of Love" , "Solar system planet" , "Roman counterpart of Aphrodite" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
