I see nothing wrong with using it. More common in AE:
It's very becoming on you!
It looks very becoming on you!

...that is, if you ever hear "becoming" in this sense in AE.
No need to apologize.Sorry for this thread then
Thank you.
Your question was just fine!
I would add that young people probably wouldn't use this word. It's considered a bit old-fashioned.
So if you want to be considered more in touch with what's popular, you probably wouldn't want to say it that way.
Still, there's nothing wrong with your word and the usage you asked about.
Hope this helps, Ptak.
