Looks refers to how someone appears on the outside, particularly their face and general attractiveness, rather than to any single glance. People sometimes say someone lives on their looks, meaning they rely on appearance rather than skill or effort. The word is almost always used in the plural in this sense, unlike a single look, which just means one glance.
