👏👏👏If u r wanting to show respect and avoid offending, we wouldn't use "lady""woman"as a stand alone label in the US or possibly in the UK.

"miss" or "mamma" is appropriate, but"miss" is mor flattering for younger women, unless that person is quiet elderly.
"mamma" is common in the south.
Ex: Right this way, miss/ mamma!
