In the sentence, "Sylvia looks good in her mermaid costume" why is good the correct word used as an adjective, as opposed to using well as an adverb. Isn't "good" describing how Sylvia looks?

The adjective "good" describes Sylvia. Since "looks" is a linking verb in this sentence, the correct complement is the adjective.
