They are all words of flattery/attraction, but they differ in connotation.
Cute is attractive in an endearing way. It's a very approachable beauty/attractiveness (as opposed to an intimidating sort of beauty). It can also be associated with a sense of innocence/ childishness/ youthfulness (i.e. someone with a babyface) but is not limited to a specific age group.
Hot: When referring to a person, this term carries with it a sense of lust and eroticism. It is a sexual attractiveness (someone who is very sexy). It is also a rather colloquial term (i.e. slang). You would not use this term to describe a child/young girl.
Beautiful and gorgeous are rather synonymous for a very attractive and aesthetically pleasing person, a beauty that is impressive and awe-inspiring. They both convey a spectacular beauty. It can be used for any age (a gorgeous baby, a beautiful girl) , but for adults it conveys an uncommon/unique beauty.
Bombshell: To call someone a bombshell implies that you find her beautiful in a sexy way. It's similar to "hot" in that it conveys a sex appeal. It would be used for a sexually attractive woman, not a girl.
Pretty is aesthetically pleasing in an unindimidating, rather neutral way. It's a more mature/intimidating beauty than "cute", but not quite as stunning, breathtaking, or unique as "beautiful." A pretty person is certainly attractive but nothing rare/uncommon.
Glamorous describes a beauty or charm that is sexually attractive, which makes it definitely a term for adults rather than children/youth. It also carries connotations of luxury and class. For many, glamor is something you portray rather than an innate part of your physique. When thinking of a glamorous woman, most people would think of a woman who is charming, stylish and chic rather than someone's bone structure or facial features.

Cute is good-looking in a somewhat childlike way.
Hot is good-looking in a sexy way.
Gorgeous is really really good-looking.
Beautiful is really good-looking, but maybe not as good-looking as "gorgeous".
Bombshell, for one thing it's a noun, so you'd say "she's a bombshell"--tends to mean she dresses very sexily as opposed to being naturally good-looking. It's a pretty old-fashioned word (I've almost only ever heard it for Marilyn Monroe).
Pretty is just generally good-looking, typically more "approachable" and natural than "beautiful" or "gorgeous".
Glamorous doesn't necessarily imply good-looking, I'd relate it more to a lifestyle of expensive clothes and cars, lots of travel and parties.

i would say cute or pretty is for a girl that is nice looking but not particularly beautiful...hot is something you would say about a girl who is sexy...gorgeous if she is astonishingly beautiful...beautiful is sort of neutral...bombshell again means she has some sort of sex appeal that goes beyond beauty...glamorous is more about a woman being elegant and stylish

Cute- teenager girl (it's kinda like..pretty and cute)
Hot- teenager girl (revealing too much skin/slutty ish)
gorgeous- teenager girl & lady (ex. a girl in a dress)
beautiful- say it to any girl ( prettier than pretty. lol)
bombshell- say it to any girl (girls take it as a compliment or as a joke.)
pretty-any girl (not that close to beautiful but still has the beauty)
glamorous- say it to any girl ( attractive)

-cute is referring to the face... you know- babyface!
-hot means that her aperiance is of sexual tension... like the way she looks at you. her eyes have to do with that.
-Gorgeous is more referring to the movement of her body... its slow and easy. The hips are moving mor5e than the rest of the -body.
-Beautyfull is referring to a good look and face.
Bombshell means that she looks like a porn star... or at least colse to one. Like big boobs, (clearly visible)
-Pretty is (i think) a lot like "cute" only no 'babyface'
-Glamorous means "old school" you know, the 60s, 70s.
