She looks good in that green dress.
By saying the above, you're saying that she looks attractive whilst wearing the dress.
'She looks well in that green dress.' is also grammatical, but it's an unusual thing to say. If you say someone looks well, you're saying that they look healthy, i.e. not sick.
