If you find the Canon SLR design aesthetic beautiful, then yes, this is the cute little baby of that.
I tend to see ergonomics / function / thoughtfulness in Canon's design language rather than some attraction to some sexy piece of kit. So something that looks like it belongs with other Canon gear reassures me the ergonomics were not fouled up with this one. (Does that make any sense?)

Like a carry pistol or a hammer, looks have always been near the bottom of the interest list for me on a camera. That said, the EOS R certainly doesn't look ugly to me, like some have posted.
In fact...I quite like some of the subtle design cues. For example, the way the EVF housing protrudes forward slightly, reminiscent of the pentaprism housing on a DSLR. The Nikon Z is just flat there, looking a little like something was cut off...
+1 on consistency across products that makes it "feel" like it belongs in the Canon stable.
