Melanie displays such style! (4)

I believe the answer is:

elan

'style' is the definition.
(I know that style can be written as elan)

'melanie displays' is the wordplay.
'displays' indicates a hidden word.
'ELAN' can be found hidden inside 'melanie'.

'such' is the link.

(Other definitions for elan that I've seen before include "Flamboyance" , "Vivacity, dash" , "Grass with edible grains" , "Stylish elegance" , "Stylishness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
