In Brazilian Portuguese, 'parece excepcional' is formal and widely understood. However, in casual speech, Brazilians often use 'parece show' (looks great/cool) or 'parece sensacional' as more colloquial alternatives. In American English, especially in NYC and younger demographics, the phrase is often replaced with hyperbolic slang like 'looks fire' or 'looks sick' to convey the same positive exceptional quality.
