Hot = super attractive at that particular moment. Meaning once she wipes off the war paint and drops the hoochie clothes she could be hideous beast. It's a comment usually made in passing and only when the object in view is "at their best".
Beauty is an absolute quality of just natural perfection. Looks great any time of the day and any environment.
You said Pretty - I like to use the word cute myself. Cute is a combination of being attractive and having an favorable personality. Basically what most men *ultimately* strive to cohabitate with/marry. Overall attractive to us with a personality that doesn't drive us to homicide.
Beauty & pretty/cute can be interchanged when you have an emotional involvement with someone.
Probably narrowminded and simplified - but how I've rationalized the differences to my wife.
