Being sexy signals health, youth, and fertility. This is quite well supported by evidence and discussed in many books and articles.
I would agree with what Lumifer says below, but I think sexy can be signalling when many people are involved: look at the sexy people I hang out with. Being with sexy people brings high status because it’s high status.

I think you confuse the label “sexy” with the label “attractive”. As far as my reading goes few articles use the term sexy.
