Answer: an idiom

Explanation:

In the sentence, "looked like a million dollars" is an idiom. An idiom is referred to as a term through which the meaning cannot be gotten literally from the words that it is made from.

An idiom is a group of words which has a meaning that's completely different from the meanings of the word on its own.
