With or without look

Could you tell me whether there exists any difference between

a) You look like a wreck.

b) You look a wreck.

?

Thanks in advance!

There isn't a great deal of difference. To me, the wording of (b) feels slightly more usual or idiomatic, and slightly more appropriate given that "wreck" is not meant literally. Opinions may vary.
