Biblical beauty in Paris is that woman? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esther

'biblical beauty' is the definition.
(figure in the Bible)

'in paris is that woman?' is the wordplay.
'in paris is' becomes 'est' ('is' in French).
'that woman?' becomes 'her' (pronoun for a woman).
'est'+'her'='ESTHER'

(Other definitions for esther that I've seen before include "Old Testament book that tells of a beautiful Jewess" , "Beautiful lady" , "Fem. name, threes (anag.)" , "OT Queen of Persia" , "Old Testament book telling of a beautiful Jewess" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
