But shouldn't "Not only ... But also ..." the words after those 2 phrases must be parallel, hence they have to be the same format. So if the word after Not only was an adjective, then the world after But also must also be an adjective?

just add another "she" to make the grammar police happy
"She is not only beautiful, but she also has a good personality and is very versatile."

but that still wouldn't be right. Because after Not only its an adjective "beautiful" However after but also there is a verb(has) PLUS an adjective (good). Hence that translation is wrong.
