She looked the epitome of elegance and good taste.
I saw this single sentence in a dictionary and feel a confusion over the meaning of the verb "look" here. It would help me to guess the meaning if I could see it in a context but like this, it makes me wonder if it means "She seemed like the epitome of..." or "She looked at -another person who was- the epitome of..." I feel for it to convey the second meaning it should come with the preposition "at" after it but I'm not sure if this is mandatory. So I'm confused,...
