Huatau which means, someone or something that is "elegant, attractive and has a sense of style."
As starkish means, "anyone or anything exhibiting a sense of good proportion and taste", 'huatau' is a fairly accurate translation into Maori.

Huatau.
The translation of "starkish" from English to Maori was submitted earlier today. This translation was provided by Maori Television's Language Department, and has been confirmed by the School of Maori and Pacific Development at Waikato University. It is in the process of being confirmed by the Maori Language Commission. Although with two reputable sources, it can now be shared with you.
As starkish means, "anyone or anything exhibiting a sense of good proportion and taste", 'huatau' is a fairly accurate translation into Maori.
