Commentary for Avodah Zarah 39:11
ורב אודויי הוא דקא מודה דאמר מר הרואה בריות טובות אומר ברוך שככה ברא בעולמו
But what about Rav? They were merely offering thanksgiving, for the Master said: He who sees beautiful creatures should say, “Blessed be He who has created such in His universe.”
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Rav says that these rabbis were not praising these beautiful gentile women. They were praising God for creating such beings in His world. This is not only permitted, it is mandated.
