You can say ¡Está muy buena! which means you think she's physically attractive. But saying someone is "smoking" meaning you think they're very good looking or whatever is an idiom (a saying specific to a language or dialect) and if you translated word for word, the listener may or may not pick up on what you're saying.

I was thinking about it and maybe it's better to use "¡Ella está muy buena! or use her name "¡Corina está muy buena! so it's clear you're talking about a person and not an object... - benweck, Oct 19, 2010

¡Está como un tren! (is another possibility, in Spain).

¿No se usa, "íMira esa mina!"? (talvez es más de argentina) O, bomboncita, mamacita, etc etc. En ingles, realmente, por lo menos para mi, no se usa "smokin" mucho. Se usa más "she's hot."

En Inglés, "smokin" es más caliente unos grados de "hot". - pesta, Oct 20, 2010
Smoking was pretty common 5 or 10 years ago. - lorenzo9, Oct 20, 2010
