When we use 女士 to address someone, it's used in formal situations, where the two persons do not know each other at all, or know each other by surnames. You attach the surname before 女士, e.g. 张女士, Ms Zhang.

女士 is more popular and commonly accepted these days than 小姐 (Miss). 女士 can be used to address a woman who is either young or old.
