Spirits do not have a look.
But, according to the bible, we will all be raised with a new and perfect body and live on a new earth forever (not in heaven). We will be spirits without bodies until Christ returns and then everyone who is asleep in Christ (dead Christians) will receive new bodies first, then, living Christians will be changed "in the twinkling of an eye" and get new bodies too.
These new bodies will be perfect like Adam and Eve before the fall. You will look like the most perfect version of you imaginable. Each of us will be just as great looking as the next, yet uniquely ourselves.
It should be really cool.

You would have to die to find out. Death is something that can be practiced. Read up on Transcendental Meditation, and learn for yourself. After achieving death, you will see that you have no physical body, but what one might call a 'soul' is still present. You will also learn not to fear death in this process, and that death is far easier than life. King David knew of this, and Psalm 4 gives the method. Psalm 23 describes the result of successful achievement of this state of mind. The King James version of these psalms gives the best translation for understanding these passages. Hope this helps.

When do you die?
Even after you are pronounced dead, science has showed that the mind has fuctuality, and even the senses, for example hearing: be carefull what you say when someone has just died...
As for the ability to look however you want; what we want in this world is entirely different to the wants of any world of the types of afterlife in most religions. In this sense we will not look like we want to, now... but maybe we will look like we ultimately inspired to be without knowing it.

believe after death we will go to heaven or hell. We will be judged by God's law. Of course God will be the one judging us. God's law is the Ten Commandments. Lets go through a couple of the Ten Commandments. Have you ever told a lie? If you have told a lie then you would be called a liar. Have you every stolen anything even if it was something small? If you have stolen something then you would be called a thief. Have you ever hated someone? Jesus said," When we hate people, in our hearts it is just like murdering them. If you have hated someone the bible calls you a murderer. This is just three of the commandments. Everyone has broken the commands of God. Even if you break only one commandment you are guilty of breaking them all. If this is the standard that God will judge us, we would be guilty. God cannot let liars, thieves, and murderers in heaven. If he did then God would not be a good and just judge. I believe if you are guilty of the law you will go to hell. I believe if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, rose from the grave, ascended to heaven, is Lord and God, and you repent and turn from your wicked ways. These are the people that will have the blood of Jesus cover their sins and they will be able to go to heaven. Whether you go to heaven or hell I believe you will be there forever.

well in theory you will look however you want but in the limitations of your body, lets say if u died at 80 you will probably have the body u had at 25 not the geezered up old body if ur thinking that dying young is a good thing comparing to the benefit of a good body in eternity :P

Yeah every guy in heaven looks just like Johnny Depp and every girl looks like Angelina Jolie. It gets a little monotonous.

What is your definition of "you" in this context?
For many religions (including, Christians, Muslims, and Hindus) the "you" would be the "soul" or Atman.
Atman is "the silent observer." It doesn't even think (cogitate) when you are alive, it just takes in everything that happens.

No. I think you will take your earthly form. But maybe not. We are all essentially spirits. Only God knows.

Yes, but only if you want to look like a corpse.
