Is Haitian Creole translation for "Pretty" and "Sexy" the same?

What is pretty is not necessarily sexy. ..and vice versa.

So, are we talking about a pretty hat → yon bèl chapo
Or could it be a sexy hat → yon bèl chapo

Or perhaps it's a pretty house → yon kay pwòp, yon bèl kay

Question?  Is the house pretty because it's clean?  Or, would it still be pretty if it was dirty?

A pretty woman perhaps:

yon joli bebe (if she's beautiful, maybe cute too)
Yon ti zanj (if she's immaculate)
Yon fanm bwòdè (if she's well dressed, not necessary classy)
Yon fanm kokèt (if she's got style)
Yon bèl nègès (a creole beauty?)
Yon Ezili Freda (captivating, even sexy)
yon fanm byen kanpe (if she's sexy)
yon fanm dyanm (she's got it all, maybe intimidating)


A handsome guy:
Yon gason byen kanpe (he's definitely got it)
Yon gason ak tout founiti klasik li (hello! sexy..)
Yon bo gason (handsome, does not necessarily mean sexy)


So, what's your Haitian Creole word for pretty or sexy :)
