Explanation:
As far as modern days' language is concerned, as far as India is concerned, you may say such girl
a sexy girl
an innocent and attractive girl

There are a lot of ways to express such a term, literal translation may be "a beautiful and attractive girl".

Moreover, it is said that "sundarta to dekhnewale ki ankhon me hoti hai' and it depends on an individual which aspect of the beauty he likes and prefer.

Langclinic's response is also more than acceptable i.e. good one. :)
