It can look however you want it as you can edit templates and styles. For an example look at this VM2 site - http://extensions.virtuemart.net/

Look here:
components\com_virtuemart\views\cart\tmpl\default_pricelist.php

...and if you update the virtuemart, the changed template is gone.  :'(

So if you use a Joomla template e.g. "_mytemplate_" do the following:

With the example "default_pricelist.php"
create a directory inside your template:
templates/_mytemplate_/html/com_virtuemart/cart
and copy the file components/com_virtuemart/views/cart/tmpl/default_pricelist.php
to templates/_mytemplate_/html/com_virtuemart/cart/default_pricelist.php

Make changes to this new file - and no update will corrupt your template-driven cart any more.  :)
The virtuemart automatically loads this user-defined view (if it exists) from your template folder. (default settings in the virtuemart backend)
