You are a very good looking person
Explanation:
Someone or something that is beautiful is pleasant to look at. A rose is beautiful and so is a woman. A man might be handsome, but in English a man is seldom referred to as beautiful.

But a person can be beautiful without looking good. In fact there are a lot of beautiful people who are kind of ugly. They have good hearts and minds. I think that\'s the most important definition of beautiful.

so beautiful


Explanation:
Exclmation of visual excitment over ones beauty.
"You are so beautiful" as I repeated this couple times in my mind the tune of the song by Johny Cooker came to play. From this I can tell you that this frase can be pronounced with different intonation on either "so" or "beautiful". Try it. It changes the character of the speaker's voice.

You're a beautiful person


Explanation:
This might not be referring to physical beauty. One might refer to other qualities regarding character or any variety of positive attributes (generosity, warmth, compassion, etc.). One might refer to spiritual dimensions of a person.

This could be like saying, "You are so wonderful."

Or, of course, it could be that the person is saying that the other is fabulously attractive physically.
