An attractive partner, male or female, holding on to your arm while you're in public.
I saw my buddy walking down the street the other day with this gorgeous woman on his arm and thought to myself "Wow, that's some nice arm candy!"

An especially attractive date, escort or other companion to a special event. Called "arm candy" because one locks arms with their "candy" (valuable possession) when they enter. A popular connotation of arm candy is a date that someone is using not to enjoy their company, but simply to appear important, wealthy or worthy of attention.

A "golddigger" would likely carry arm candy to a dance or party.
Did you see the arm candy Andrea brought to the dance last night? Her date was so handsome and coy!
