すてきな女性

Explanation:
I guess Mr.Thomas wants perfectly fitting Japanese for these English words. 'Beautiful' has some spirituous meanings in comparson with 'pretty'and so on. Although 'すてき’is somewhat informal Japanese,it is closer to 'beautiful'than '美（人）or 美しい（女性）etc.'in these days' usage.
Ofcourse all depend on the context,and 'すばらしい’is also　useful.

There also is old Japanese expression¥"麗人¥".

I thought of other Japanese, such as ¥"うるわしい女性¥", ¥"うるわしき女¥", and ¥"うるわしの女（uruwasi　no　onna or hito）¥". These are somewhat old but romantic expressions.
