They mean the same, but "jij" is when you emphasize on the word you.
- Dutch
You can also say "jij bent mooi." But that would come across as "wow YOU are beautiful." and "je bent mooi" is more neutral "you are beautiful."

jij is used when there is a contrast or if you want to put extra emphasis on WHO it is that is beautiful.
For expamle in this situation:
Wie vind je mooi?
- Jij bent mooi!
Oh ik dacht dat je het over mijn vriendin had.
=
Who do you think is beautiful?
- YOU are beautiful.
Oh, I thought you were talking about my friend.
- Dutch
Dit zijn overigens nuanceverschillen die moedertaalsprekers op gevoel doen en dat krijg je dus meestal niet op school geleerd omdat bijna geen enkele Nederlander daar fouten mee maakt. ;)
