"Esa chica se las dio de guapa "
Why the use of "las" in this sentence.
"She poses as good looking"?
Gracias,

"Dárselas de algo" is a set expression to express "to pass oneself off as something"
The expression includes the "las", I don't know the reason for that.
I think that dárselas de + something means to boast about or to make out that you are a certain thing, way etc.
So how about - that girl makes out she's so hot! (loose translation)
But I'm not a native speaker, still learning too so wait and see what other say.
You haven´t provided any context, so I am guessing "las" refers to other women.
