I can't recall the expression similar to the one in bold
When someone is dressed up for a special occasion, they ask you how they look, and you ask them to spin/turn around?
Thanks.

You can use either. "turn (a)round" probably means you want them to turn so that their back is towards you and then stay like that for a little while so that you can check that aspect. "spin (a)round" is probably asking them to make a more or less continuous revolution.
