Look black, embraced by a girl of the world (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

global

'of the world' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'look black embraced by a girl' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo'.
'black' becomes 'b' (as in pencil classifications).
'embraced by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a girl' becomes 'gal' ('gal' can be a synonym of 'girl'**).
'lo'+'b'='lob'
'lob' put into 'gal' is 'GLOBAL'.

(Other definitions for global that I've seen before include "all over the place" , "Of the whole world, worldwide" , "Shaped like a sphere or ball" , "Comprehensive" , "Across our planet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
