"She's so fly" means that she's cool, sexy, etc. It's a term from the 90's.

Jennifer Lopez was one of the original Fly Girls.

It's a slang term that means she is really "cool" and "attractive". Basically, the guy likes the girl and thinks she is a very fun person to be around.

Ever heard phrases such as "She's too fly by half..." "There's no flies on him..." ? In this kind of idiomatic discourse the use of "fly/flies" denotes cunning/cleverness, having inside knowledge of something, being privy to information nobody else has.

.
I think, even though we have no context, that "You're so fly..." means the woman is cunning, perhaps knows or does something clandestine, something not at all innocent something very knowing. A Becky Sharp type, "nobodies fool"
