If a woman is wearing garish clothes, she can get/receive a bad look.

No, that doesn't work,
Do you mean she isn't stylish ("That's not a good look on you.")?

mr1binshe can get/receive a bad look.You may be aiming for this idiom:
... she might get some dirty looks.
For the same idea but in a higher register, substitute disapproving for dirty.

If you mean people look at her and think she looks good, I suggest "admiring looks."
When you say "a good look" it means you can see clearly. A man driving a big blue car dented your fender, but I didn't get a good look at his car or at him.
