Random beautiful woman on the street, I usually ignore. If I'm going to try to talk to her, I'll usually come up with something in the moment without thinking about it. If I have to think about it, I might do something like asking if she remembers me, and then tease her for it when she doesn't. Assume we have already met, and then admit I can't remember her name, and let her tease me for that, and away we go. Doesn't always work, but it can be fun regardless. But when it does work, it works because you are jumping right into actions, speech and attitudes that would be the result of pre-existing familiarity, which scrambles her for a bit, and in many cases, makes her feel like she should relax because she already knows you (apparently).
It can get hairy if she starts asking where she knows you from and you don't have an answer, or your answer shows that you don't know her after all, but then you can just transition into, "Well you remind me of a good friend of mine, and you even have her ___" and then lead the conversation into something else as if you still already know her because you're already friends/acquaintances/whatever.
But it's usually better to just play off the moment and that works best when you're in the right state of mind and emotion.
