Explanation:
Peter, could you help us out a little? What is the exact context of that line? Is is just A) the description of a girl or B) more like a pick-up line ("hey, pretty girl")?

A) hübsches Mädchen (I agree with the previous answer)

B) Hallo, Süße (and many other variations on the same theme).

das hübsche Mädchen


Explanation:
Thanks Werner!

Another possibility with the definite article) depending on the rest of the sentence, if there is a sentence (... ein hübsches Mädchen OR das hübsche Mädchen)

Or, if it's all that's being said (like a comment to oneself), just "hübsches Mädchen" as Werner suggested.
