dolly

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'might she' is the definition.
'Dolly' can be an answer for 'she'. I'm not certain of the 'might' bit.

'old and just a bit ugly?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'old' is 'dol' which is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'become' is the link.
