You are pretty = vous êtes belle
Sra (aka Mme)
how do you do
vous êtes jolie = rather than you are beautiful, this says "you are pretty."
Sometimes you simply have to accept that you can NOT say exactly the same thing as in English. There is a verb "to look like" = ressembler à, or to seem = sembler. Perhaps the very closest you can get is "vous avez l'air d'être jolie" (you have the 'promise" of being pretty)
