Like a fashionable arrival (4)
I believe the answer is:
late
'like a fashionable arrival' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for late that I've seen before include "Dead or not punctual" , "Running behind time" , "Teal (anag.)" , "Not yet arrived - departed" , "not quick enough" .)
