'Risky' means that something has an element of risk involved, like cliff-diving.
'Risque' is more to do with social taboos - it suggests that something is bordering on being inappropriate, often in a sexual sense. So if a couple went to a burlesque or strip show, that would be risque.
Risky means dangerous. "She knew running in spite of her injury would be risky, but did it anyway."
Risque means sexy. "Wearing a strapless dress was in poor taste and too risque for church."
