Depends on whether you are going for D&D or historical.
In history many of the spirits which we classify as Fey in D&D appear beautiful. Even the bean sidhe can appear as a beautiful woman, as can the legendary hag (mostly taken from the ideas of the witch)...
The leanansidhe were beautiful, but they have a very strange range of what they can appear. Dryads, female nixie, the kikimora (Russian housespirits, wives/daughters of the Domovoi) were usually seen as beautiful women who wore their hair in an unorthodox form (though they also sometimes wore masks/had bestial appearances when threatened). Selkies, crane wives, and similar 'otherworldly spouses'. . . The bloody maiden (a later spirit usually akin to the Countess Bathory) was also a beautiful woman, but she was more of an undead association)...
Really there are thousands of different folklore creatures. I started a series of posts on my blog on Fridays that cover various creatures... my next post actually covers the Leanansidhe but (of course) not until Friday.

Nyad, Dryad, Nymph, Sylph, Nixie, to name a few. Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, deciding which Fey females are particularly beautiful could be a bit difficult.

Of course, that seems to depend on the edition. Sometimes dryads are looking a bit woody (3e iirc), sometimes like attractive hippies (2e), and in everything in between. I'd say nymph is the only one that consistently has attractive as a core attribute. The others can be "attractive wood creatures" or "attractive water creatures."

Fey in general are very attractive, but which ones have a Charisma bonus or beauty related abilities?
