Behold, following a leader of fashion, there's a girl (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flo

'there's a girl' is the definition.
(short for Florence)

'behold following a leader of fashion' is the wordplay.
'behold' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'fashion' is 'f'.
'lo' put after 'f' is 'FLO'.

(Another definition for flo that I've seen is " Nightingale".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
