Hot!
What? No way, cute dom sexy sub.
A cute dom has to work that much harder to demand respect, and they're likely used to that. If they remain cute instead of becoming desperate or delusional after that adaptation without looking fake, they're likely more worthy of respect than the usual person and likely gifted with charisma as well from knowing how to appear as either intimidating or innocent. When challenged the retaliation is much more automatic. Sexy doms can be powerful, but they're likely used to winning and don't bother to try as hard from having less to prove, also knowing full well that if their sub isn't what they want they could just find another. A cute dom that can flip into intimidation at a moment's notice is sexier than a plain sexy dom from being more capable of tailoring their presence and body language, and cute in the case of someone with power has more charm, a softer side.
A sexy sub knows how to look like they're asking for it, have eyes that betray they're enjoying it. Cute subs go into creepy kid shit territory while sexy ones can be instigators.

Yes.
On top of all of that, there's also how much more notable the power dynamic appears when presented as a couple. A sexy dom with a cute sub is pretty... bland and expected, while a cute dom with a sexy sub looks like someone small having tamed something worth respecting. It makes the sub like an accessory that proves the dom's power.
By fantasy terms, cute dom/sexy sub resembles how a summoner and it's summon appears, while a sexy dom with a cute sub looks more like a slave handler and it's property.
